Straight outta the South Pacific
With their sun-drenched mix of reggae, dub, funk and soul, The Black Seeds are long-standing favourites in the South Pacific reggae/roots scene. Their characteristic 'Kiwi dub' sound has taken Europe by storm and their latest tour takes in Amsterdam's Melkweg on 4 August.
Summer sounds
The eight-member band from Newtown, Wellington (NZ) prefer to beaver away in their own tailor-made hangout/recording studio with all the jamming, writing and producing resulting in a lively, summery sound positively charged with good vibes.
If you can't wait until 4 August, check out The Black Seeds summer sampler on their website.
