Bio

Taranaki four piece TheSlacks are stoked to share their brand new single Big Aroha with Aotearoa.

Big Aroha germinated in Marky Armstrong’s school years after a poignant discussion with his mate Joe at the bus stop outside the Inglewood dairy, about the importance of community and manaakitanga - a conversation that stayed with him over the years and finally coalesced into a song.

Peppered with Te Reo and celebrating strong community ties and deep roots, Big Aroha is a nod to Poi E and a modern Taranaki response to our times.

The accompanying video was shot by the band with the help of Green Cow Productions and editor Dave Lepper. It predominantly takes place in a local Four Square and is a vibrant, upbeat production full of Aroha and inclusiveness, perfectly mirroring the sentiments of the song.

Band Members:
Scott Armstrong (vocals, rhythm guitar)
Mark Armstrong (vocals, lead guitar)
Blake Gibson (vocals, bass)
Zane Greig (vocals, drums)
