Ahead of their NZ tour, singer and guitarist Stuart Braithwaite of cult Scottish band Mogwai talks to Charlotte Ryan about stargazing with his Dad, playing so loud the ceiling caved in, and Mogwai’s new doco premiering at South by Southwest in March. 

Mogwai will play Pōneke’s The Opera House February 29 and Tāmaki Makaurau's Powerstation on March 1.

The setlist will include classics from the early days as well as songs from their latest album As the Love Continues, which topped the UK charts in its first week of release.
