El Schlong are coming back home to New Zealand after spending the past 2 years in London. They will record their next album in Wellington before moving to Berlin in September. They will be spending 3 weeks in Wellington recording, and will also be playing one off shows in Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin.

The band formed in Dunedin in 2003, moved to Wellington in 2005, and again to London in 2008.
