The MIQ booking system will be unpaused from next Monday, with a few changes to how the system is run to make the booking process more fair.

But it does little for those looking to travel outside of the country for work, like heavy metal band Alien Weaponry, who are all set to tour the US and Europe but are waiting to book spots for their return to Aotearoa.

Their new album Tangaroa is out tomorrow and they're keen to hit the road with it.

Henry and Lewis de Jong talk to Jesse about their new waitata and whether or not the tour can go ahead.
