The Black Seeds
Formed in 1998, The Black Seeds quickly developed a reputation as the capital's ultimate good groove band, setting local joints jumping with their irie grooves and smooth skanking moves. A seven (or sometimes more) piece group, The Black Seeds produce a uniquely Pacifican blend of soul, funk, reggae and dub sounds that have set dancefloors alight and crowds a-skanking all over Aotearoa, and cemented the band's position as one of the country's leading live outfits...
