Radio With Pictures was supported by a 12-stop NZ-wide headline tour with a full band. The duo performed live for over 100,000 people last year at shows and festivals.

2022 saw the release of their sophomore album Stargazing, supported by a remote secret location NZ launch party and a series of international listening parties. Featuring collaborators from around the world, Stargazing peaked at Number 3 on the NZ Top 20 Albums chart and Number 2 on the NZ Independent Albums chart.

Sweet Mix Kids embody versatility and taste both in the studio, where they produce the full spectrum of music, and on stage where they incorporate electronic drums and samplers, and have special guests, mixing every genre in flamboyant live performances.
