The Black Seeds
The Lord of the Rings put New Zealand’s beauty and creative spirit on the pop culture map. Flight of the Conchords revealed New Zealand’s unique wit. Now reggae/funk sensations The Black Seeds—Conchord friends and former band mates—are ready to take listeners one step deeper into the Other Down Under, with infectious grooves, slamming brass, and booty shaking beats on the group’s first North American release, Solid Ground (Easy Star Records) and on their debut U.S. tour with John Brown’s Body this September.
‘There’s no beating the old-fashioned lure of a band who have built up a mighty following through sweaty, hard-gigging performances. This applies to the supremely danceable New Zealand 8-piece The Black Seeds whose record sales attest to their loyal fan base… with charismatic vocalist Barnaby Weir at the helm there’s an immediate appeal to their fresh Pacific grooves… The Black Seeds’ tunes are packed with funk, reggae, dub, and good time soul…’
