CONNAN MOCKASIN 'PLEASE TURN ME INTO THE SNAT' TOUR ANNOUNCED & ALBUM RELEASED

Monday February 22, 2010, was the hugely anticipated New Zealand release of Connan Mockasin's debut album - 'Please Turn Me Into The Snat'.

This beautiful, long awaited debut album introduces the listener to the
amazing world of Connan Mockasin - from cats with larger-than-life
personalities, unicorns in uniform, to alter egos such as Don Dicaprio. It
was written and recorded over 18-months, in East Sussex, UK and an abandoned
haunted house in Wellington. (Get the album here

In celebration of the release of 'Please Turn Me Into The Snat', a New
Zealand Tour has also just been announced. The four show tour will see
Connan performing around New Zealand with his multi talented band that
includes Sam Eastgate (from top UK electro pop act Late of the Pier), Elroy
Finn and Will Ricketts (The Phoenix Foundation).

very special NZ tour.



Since relocating to the UK from his New Zealand over three years ago, Connan
Mockasin has charmed audiences everywhere; from Hyde Park (where he played
alongside the White Stripes) and Green Man Festival (Robert Plant, Joanna
Newsom) to London's legendary Durr club, where he remains the only artist to
have been invited back three times. He has collaborated with Fatboy Slim on
a track for the DJ/producer's new album Brighton Port Authority, which also
includes contributions from David Byrne and Iggy Pop.
