My Baby Announces New Zealand ‘Prehistoric Rhythm Tour’

After a very busy and successful 2017 which saw the release of their new album ‘Prehistoric Rhythm’ and well over 100 shows the band will once again embark on tour in New Zealand including festivals such as Splore, Coastella and Electric Avenue.

MY BABY’s music has been influenced by the power of spiritual music (gospel and voodoo spirituals) and the entrancing hypnotic quality found in music accompanying shamanic rituals. The roots of these phenomena can be traced back thousands of years, so can the music. This ‘tracing’ has become an important part of the ‘personal’ vision of the band and is a central their latest album ‘Prehistoric Rhythm’. With their new album, the band aim to channel a primal awareness amidst hypnotic beats, shimmering soulful vocals and psychedelic riffs on the back of rootsy blues and dubbed out funk.

“Psychedelic Dutch trio MY BABY’s reputation as a formidable live act has been spreading like wildfire by word – of – mouth in the campsites of some of the UK’s major festivals this year. Leaving a trail of mesmerised new fans from performances at Isle of Wight, Glastonbury, Shambala and Bestival.” – Subba – Cultcha (UK)

Based in Amsterdam, MY BABY is a Dutch/New Zealand trio that play a brand of psychedelic tribal blues trance. It’s a sound inspired by old blues and folk music, but played with the rawness of sixties and seventies soul and funk and an edgy trance like infusion of west African desert blues, Moroccan Gnawa and Indian ragas.

The band consists of Cato van Dyke on vocals and guitar, Sheik van Dyke on drums and vocals and Daniel ‘Dafreez’ Johnston on guitars. Together they bring a high energy, Rock and Roll fueled show that leans towards electronic dance music.

Since their start in 2013 MY BABY has been spreading their mesmerizing music and live show to the approval of audiences worldwide featuring on renowned festivals such as Glastonbury, Wilderness, Isle Of Wight (UK) Reeperbahn (Germany), Sziget(HU), Pohoda (Slovakia), Pinkpop, Lowlands (NL) Luminate, Electric Avenue (NZ) and many others.
