Rotorua band Strangely Arousing is taking its high-energy performances overseas, with gigs in Dubai and Prague lined up.
Trombonist and backing vocalist Liam Rolfe said the five-piece band was looking forward to the trip, which will include gigs in Dubai and Prague at annual black-tie events for Kiwi and Australian expats in November.
"It's a great opportunity. None of us have been to Prague before. We are going to try [to] organise more gigs while we are over there. We will be there for at least 12 days. The trip started with being invited to play Dubai.
"It will be an awesome experience. Playing to a new sort of crowd makes me excited."
The group's manager, Grant Hislop, has been organising acts for the Kiwi Ball in Dubai for nine years, taking bands like Op Shop there to perform.
