Join Juno Is and her live band to celebrate the release of her ‘psychedelic dream pop’ debut album ‘Where To Begin’. For this celebration, Juno Is will be performing in two very special locations - Ōtautahi and Tāmaki Makaurau.
——————————————————————
After 5 years, Juno Is (aka Mackenzie Hollebon) has decided to announce her first ever Tāmaki Makaurau headline show at Double Whammy. This show will be an exciting live exploration of her debut album Where To Begin which was released on the 8th of November 2024.
"Where To Begin, the long-awaited debut album from Tāmaki Makaurau-based artist Juno Is, arrived four years after her breakthrough EP, Creature of Habit. Created over two years in a series of spontaneous songwriting sessions, this album marks a distinct evolution for Juno Is, the project of musician Mackenzie Hollebon.
In the early stages, Where To Begin became a deeply collaborative endeavour. Hollebon teamed up with engineer-producer De Stevens, crafting the album’s foundation in late-afternoon sessions in her sunny, minimalist bedroom, fueled by black coffee and creative energy. As they shaped the album’s pre-production, their collaborative process naturally opened the door to other key contributors, including Christchurch-based multi-instrumentalist Thomas Isbister. Thomas’s contributions on bass, trumpet, congas, synth, and more added layers of texture to the album, fulfilling Juno Is' vision of an immersive, colourful soundscape inspired by the likes of early MGMT and Melody’s Echo Chamber."
This Juno Is 8 piece live band will consist of Mackenzie Hollebon, Jacob Brown, Hamish Morgan, Zoë Larsen Cumming, Benjamin Mack, Riley Noonan, Nimah Joy Pritchard and Emily Fe’ao.
Not only is this Juno Is’ first headline show in Tamaki Makaurau, but it is also a rare chance to celebrate her debut album, live!
