HERBS ACOUSTIC AUSTRALIAN SHOW DATES NOV 2014
Thursday, October 16th, 2014
It all began with a bunch of friends in a garage in South Auckland playing acoustic guitars.
And from those humble beginnings rose Herbs, one of New Zealand’s and the Pacific’s most loved bands. Kiwis abroad and Australian lovers of the Pacific reggae sound now have the chance to witness up close the powerful songs that made Herbs famous as Herbs Acoustic pays a visit.
Herbs Acoustic, comprising of three of long-time members, offers the opportunity to experience Herbs in their unplugged format, stripped back as it was in the beginning and presenting the true essence of their sound, and reviving their much-loved songs in an acoustic format with clear, uncluttered vocals and unmistakable harmonies.
Since the 1980s Herbs’ special sound has endured, defying changing times and musical fancies. Not only has the band made an outstanding contribution to New Zealand’s musical history, earning a place in the NZ Music Hall of Fame in 2012, it also marked NZ history with songs that raised and championed social and political issues.
Joining them for this tour is former ‘When the Cats Away’ and ‘Ladykillers’ member Annie Crummer. Brian May of Queen once dubbed her “The voice of one in a million.” The double-platinum, and gold-selling artist has supported Michael Jackson, Sir Paul McCartney, and Ray Charles, and was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award at the 2011 Pacific Music Awards.
Delivering the magic of their full 7 piece live band experience is Brisbane’s PAUA! Celebrating the success of their #1 release of the REM classic ‘Losing My Religion’ on both the Australian and New Zealand iTunes reggae charts, ‘Feel the Fire’ and the cruisy single ,‘Crazy Bout You, along with sharing the stage with reggae giants ‘Katchafire,‘1814’, ‘Julian Marley’, ‘The Green’ at festivals and shows around Australia and New Zealand. PAUA, LIVE are not to be missed. Infusing sweet harmonies, melody and deep grooves to create a unique Soulful/RnB/Rootz Reggae sound that entrances and enthrals all ages.

THE WORLD GOES WILD FOR ‘THE WYLD’
Thursday, February 13th, 2014
THE WYLD…One of the most exciting sounds coming out of NZ right now!
“Odyssey” a track off The Wyld’s EP ABstract landed the Anthem track for the USA McDonalds 2014 Sochi Winter Games Campaign. View official AD.
This has created a huge international buzz for the band with people from all over the world now discovering their sound. They have now received over 100,000 views of their video in the last 2 weeks and are receiving awesome feedback from fans here in NZ and around the globe. View the ‘lyric video’.
Filming for their official music video has just wrapped up in Qatar and will be released soon.
More exciting news for the band is that Coco Cola (USA) have come on board this week requesting The Wyld compile a Playlist for their Spotify Branding Page and they have been invited and have confirmed to perform in Toronto in May at Canadian Music Week.
Auckland based hip-hop rock trio The Wyld are far from your regular New Zealand band. Featuring Joe Pascoe, the Kiwi guitarist, Sudanese poet-turned-rapper Mo Kheir, and American keyboardist, beat maker and singer Brandon Nigri. They continue to attract a flurry of international attention, drawing strong international interest from music blogs such as Pigeons & Planes, MTV Iggy and Cassette Couture.
The Wyld’s latest release EP ABSTRACT is recieving acclaimed reviews from around the world.
“Rising From Down Under Cut Copy, Gotye, Karnivool, Lorde, the Naked And Famous, and The Wyld are making a big splash in foreign waters!” READ FULL REVIEW FROM GRAMMY.COM
“The Wyld is the best thing to come out of the New Zealand music scene in a long time (I didn’t stutter). With Abstract, their most recent studio release, they do everything but disappoint, especially considering this album was made available for whatever you’re willing to pay (free included) on the band’s bandcamp. Consider this the rap counterpart cross between The Neighbourhood’s I Love You and Woodkid’s The Golden Age with a rap style that approaches that of Scott Mescudi. With atmospheric tracks like “Confusion” and near-tribal beats like that of “Odyssey” it’s very easy to claim The Wyld’s work as some of the most unique and original Hip Hop of the year for certain and very plausibly of all time”
