Nau mai haere mai! We wanna make you move, groove and feel our goodness. Come stand in our sunshine! We wanna be your Kapa T!

Our story:
We got together in 2020 with the intent to find a click with like minded peeps and create something decent - in terms of a musical product that was an honest representation of ourselves, our strengths, and a good representation of a song we play whether it's ours or not. The overall intent was to share it out there in the wild in whatever capacity is available to us for people who want to feel and groove to our music. We’re all in the middle stages of life and love playing together bringing our vibe!


What do we play?
We are playing a lot of reggae/funk/soul type music respectfully. We cover a lot of LAB, NZ music and global reggae, soul, RnB funk type artists to fill out our song sheet repertoire. We like people moving so we’re upbeat. We have a few originals ready for the wild however, our focus has been about putting together a solid show. We believe you need to really get as close as you can to cover anyones songs and to honour the original artists - that is important to us. So building our “own thang” is happening and it’ll become more of a focus as we go this year with the intention of releasing something of our own by year end...even if it's a single!

Where do we want to play?
Happy to look at a residency somewhere, play weddings, corporate gigs, festivals etc! Weddings are great! Until we secure a loaded schedule, we’re up for suggestions. Give us enough time and we’ll even learn something for you.

Personally, I really like the vibes of weddings. The rugby is not on in the background, everyone is dressed up and in a good mood, you might get a nice kai and drinks are usually free so we sound extra primo lol

Where do we want to go?
We’re realistic about where our talents can take us and at our respective ages(the boats that have been missed lol) As long as it takes us places where we can share what we have and people really love it, that's enough and more than any band could truly ask for. We’re nimble in terms of how we run as a group. Most decisions are calendar based as we are all still mice in the wheel workin for the man at varying depths.

What does it cost for us to play for you?
Contact us to discuss your budget and how you want to set up - 3 sets of 45 minute/an hour each door sales are an option with enough notice. We're open to being paid heaps lol!
