Bang! Bang! Eche! (pronounced Bang Bang Etch) are a Dance punk band from Christchurch, New Zealand.

History

The band was started at the begining of 2007, by Irish compatriots Sullivan and Mahoney, who had previously attended an International School in Christchurch, New Zealand. Inspired by local legend Glyn MacLean, the duo began making music in the adult contemporary genre, in order to gain film publishing deals in Hollywood. Quickly dissilusioned with their below average success in this market, they decided to change musical direction, and enlarge the band. They then drafted fellow international school drop-outs, Doney, Ryder and Worsley into the band for their first show with The Sneaks, The Whipping Cats and Disasteradio in April 2007. Nearly a year later, on May 23rd 2008, Bang Bang Eche released their debut, self-titled EP (alongside their now defunct show sister band The Insurgents). 5 days later they performed the new songs in Auckland, New Zealand, opening for New York band !!!/Chk Chk Chk. They have since entered the studio to record their 2nd EP, which will feature such fan favourites as "Frogs in Popular Culture" and "Gabi is a Slut".
In November they are set to tour Europe in order to marry native citizens and gain EU passports. Many members of the bamd have been known to be avid fans of LARP, or Live Action Role Playing. In February 2008, BBE was he subject of a feature article on UK indie website ThisIsFakeDIY.co.uk.^[1]
