Napoleon Baby capture the raw energy and emotional intensity of their live show on their forthcoming EP, Live at the Rose Theatre, recorded during a special performance at The Rose Theatre in November 2025.

The EP documents a standout night for the band, presenting a selection of fan-favourite tracks performed in front of a packed audience in one of the city’s most intimate and atmospheric venues. Stripped of studio polish and driven by crowd connection, Live at the Rose Theatre showcases Napoleon Baby at their most honest and immediate.

Recorded entirely live, the EP highlights the band’s dynamic musicianship and the electricity of the room – from moments of hushed vulnerability to full-throttle crescendos. The audience becomes part of the performance, lending the recording a sense of place and occasion that reflects the spirit of the night itself.

Speaking on the release, Napoleon Baby describe the EP as “a snapshot of where we are right now – the songs as they breathe on stage, shaped by the room and the people in it.”

Live at the Rose Theatre serves both as a celebration of the band’s live identity and a thank-you to the fans who filled the room and made the night unforgettable.

The EP will be available on all major streaming platforms.

Napoleon Baby will also bring their alt-indie intensity to Ponsonby Social Club this February, delivering a live show defined by tension, texture, and momentum. Known for their dynamic sets and uncompromising sound, the band move between restraint and release, crafting songs that feel raw, immediate, and built for close, loud rooms.
They’re joined by two acts that deepen the night’s atmosphere.
Echomatica explore the darker, dreamier edges of shoegaze, weaving hazy guitar lines, submerged vocals, and immersive soundscapes that drift between beauty and distortion. Their sets pull the audience inward, creating a dense, hypnotic mood that lingers.
Completing the lineup, Mema Wilda bring pure rock ’n’ roll energy – sharp riffs, driving rhythms, and a fearless live presence. Direct and unfiltered, their performances lean into immediacy and impact, grounding the night in sweat and volume.
Together, the lineup offers a layered bill of contemporary alternative music, moving from atmosphere to abrasion and back again.
