CHORES
Chores are an award-winning dance-pop duo whose dance-floor fillers have established them as one of the most exciting electronic acts south of the equator.
Often compared to Hayden James, Peking Duck, and Pnau, the New Zealand-born music-makers won ‘Breakthrough Artist’ at the 2017 Annual George FM awards, was nominated the following year for the International achievement award, and then took home ‘Best Electronic Act’ at the 2018 Vodafone New Zealand Music Awards.
Since their big VNZMA win, Chores, AKA Sam Saunders and Thommy Simmons, have been based in Melbourne, Australia, where they’ve been toiling away in the studio on new music. Now after a productive few months in lockdown, they are about to reveal a string of new tunes, with a host of exciting international features.
The new music follows winning singles such as 'Away', 'Surrender', 'Got It', 'By Your Side', which has received love from New Zealand radio and clocked up hundreds of thousands of streams across multiple platforms. In early 2019, Chores were handpicked to put their spin on ‘Weapon Of Choice’ by the legendary Fatboy Slim, which has now close to 400k streams on Spotify.
Chores are a live force to be reckoned with and are known for their epic live shows with guest performers, as well as their electrifying DJ sets. The pair have played New Zealand’s biggest festivals and opened for major international names such as A-Trak, Peking Duk, Duke Dumont, and The Chainsmokers.
