I put these guys in general music because they mix soo many genres into their music. Things like Roots and Dub Reggae, to Jazz and Soul. They're from New Zealand I think and they're amazing. "Based on a True Story" is a fanominal album. For anyone who is interested i'll upload it.

Alright, i should have it done tonight. ALSO!...you're really lucky for seeing them live. I'd imagine it would have been a great show. They're all soo talented.

Not only did I see them live....I saw them live 4 times....

Free.

The only thing that annoys me is how overplayed (In New Zealand) "The Wandering Eye" is.

They're pretty localized really.
nothing huge.
But that one song is/was/will always be huge.

It doesn't help that it's 9 minutes long.

I can't hold it in any longer. Im just loving this NZ band that utilises reggae rythmns overdubbed with some great Soul/Funk. Their full length album Based On A True Story did'nt impress me initially, but once I succumbed to their style I was smitten! This is a track from BASED. I also have an excellent 4 track live EP that clocks in at over 60 mins and showcase their truly brilliant laidback vibes.
