Please Turn Me Into The Snat is the title of the highly anticipated debut album
from Connan Mockasin.
Written & recorded over the past 18 months, from East Sussex in the UK to an
abandoned haunted house in Wellington, the album introduces the listener to the
amazing world of Connan Mockasin, from cats with larger-than-life personalities &
unicorns in uniform to alter egos like Don Dicaprio.
Since relocating to the UK from his native NZ just over 2yrs ago, he has charmed
audiences everywhere; from Hyde Park (where he played alongside the White Stripes) & G
reen Man Festival (with Robert Plant & Joanna Newsom) to the legendary Durr Club –
he remains the only artist to have bee ninvited back 3 times. He has collaborated with
Fatboy Slim on a track for his new album, Brighton Port Authority, which also includes
contributions from David Byrne & Iggy Pop!
In NZ he regularly sells out his own club shows & in August last year completed a hugely
successful NZ theatre tour alongside Liam Finn & James Milne (Lawrence Arabia) which saw
the trio perform to packed houses in Auckland, Christchurch, Dunedin & at the Wellington
Opera House.
Creativity has always been Connan’s engine. Growing up in rural Hawkes Bay, he was already
playing guitar in a blues band by the age of 10 while pursuing overlapping interests in art
& invention.
In 2004 he formed the trio Connan & The Mockasins, who toured tirelessly, initially in NZ,
then in Europe, releasing a pair of successful EPs, plus a single, Sneaky Sneaky Dogfriend
for EMI’s distinguished Parlophone label. The first pressing sold out in just days.
The group dissolved in 2008, leaving Connan free to collaborate with a wide variety of musicians as he
developed his singular ideas, the first fruits of which can be found in Please Turn Me Into The Snat.
Somewhere between fantasy & reality, innocence & wisdom, pop music
& an art form as yet unnamed, is the world of Connan Mockasin.
