Number 8 Wireless

Bio

Number 8 Wireless is a guitar-driven four piece from Wellington with a long-standing whakapapa in the Wellington Music Scene. The band is set to release its debut EP Cut the Cord in October this year.

Inspired by diverse musical influences including Lou Reed, The Specials, David Bowie, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and Jimi Hendrix, Number 8 Wireless creates accessible, well-constructed music – including hard rock, catchy pop and a solid dose of reggae and funk.

The result is highly listenable, modern music based on classic song-craft and musicianship. The lyrics are cleverly word-smithed and reward discerning listeners. Sometimes comedic, sometimes brutal and ironic, these are songs with something to say – usually about Kiwis and our place in the world.

Live, Number 8 Wireless makes the most of this with classy, true-to-label on-stage performances. In 2018, the band won a place as National Finalist in New Zealand Battle of the Bands. Number 8 Wireless was there picked up by Grammy nominated and two-time Aria award-winning producer Steve James, who recorded Cut the Cord at Red Engine Studio in Brisbane in 2019.

Band Members:
Gregor Allan (lead vocals)
Seb Bishop (guitar, bass, vocals)
