Originating from Wellington, The Black Seeds have carved out their reputation through platinum selling albums, a masterful live show, and a sound that fuses infectious grooves and melodies with undiluted roots music. With numerous European festival tours behind them, and a successful 2009 North American album release, their following continues to spread quickly around the globe.
Led by the vocals of Barnaby Weir and Daniel Weetman, at its core The Black Seeds music is a boundary-crossing sound fusion of big-beat funk, dub, soul, mixed with vintage roots-reggae.
Dust And Dirt debuted in the Official New Zealand Top 40 Albums on 16 April 2012. It has been in the Top 40 Albums for 11 weeks with a highest position of #1. There are seven albums by The Black Seeds in the Top 40 Albums with two reaching Number One.
