New Zealand Artist: Tahuna Breaks

Since their beginnings in January 2005, Tahuna Breaks have always been a band built upon a simple philosophy- the love of music. With an open mind and an adventurous spirit, unafraid to mix genres and musical stylings- their ‘anything goes’ and sometimes unconventional approach is governed only by two criteria: passion and energy. The lifeblood of this band is live performance and it is from countless live gigs and tours that they have crafted their own brand of roots reggae, funk, soul and good old fashioned rock and roll. Put simply this is a band that thrives on working hard and winning audiences over.

In October of 2007, two and half years after the band formed, the Auckland-based group celebrated the release of their debut album, 'Reflections,' to rave reviews across the board. The album has held the number 3 spot on the Independent charts and two of its tracks have been included on successive NZ on Air Kiwi Hitdisks. Accompanying the album, the band had three music videos for 'Voodoo', 'Real Life' and 'Casually Acquainted' which have all sat on music TV playlists nationwide. In 2008, the band received the Juice TV Music Award for Best Roots / Electronica Video for the release of 'Real Life', coming in on top of an impressive lineup of New Zealand’s heavyweight acts.
