New Zealand Artist: Harbour City Electric

Hailing from Wellington, Harbour City Electric are a live seven-piece band who have incorporated a diverse array of influences ranging from Motown era funk and soul through to contemporary Hip-Hop to create their unique sound. Throwing synthesizers, tight horns, a kicking rhythm section and world-class vocals into the mix, Harbour City Electric have crafted their own unique style, which can only be described as Acid-funk and heavy break-beat soul.

Starting out as a rotating lineup of top Wellington musicians, based at home in the lounge bar of Sandwiches throughout 07/08 (Winner: Best Music Offering, 2007 NZ Bar Awards) the group had the pleasure of sharing the stage weekly with a whole host of heavy weight Wellington musicians. Members of The Black Seeds, Recloose Live Band, Solaa, Olmecha Supreme and Rhombus made appearances to name a few. The weekly Sandwiches residency defined Harbour City Electric’s place within Wellington’s competitive music scene.
