"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’

ABOUT THE BAND
Hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, and led by the vocals of Barnaby Weir and Daniel Weetman The Black Seeds’ produce a boundary-crossing fusion of dub, funk, afrobeat and soul, mixed with vintage reggae. Their unique style of layering supremely infectious grooves and melodies over undiluted roots music now sees their popularity spreading quickly throughout the globe in recent years.
After forming in 1997, The Black Seeds have a gold, platinum, and two double-platinum selling albums behind them, as well as a masterful 8-piece live show that has seen them perform at many of the biggest festivals throughout New Zealand, Australia and Europe.
After signing record deals with European labels Sonar Kollektiv and Rough Trade Netherlands in 2007, The Black Seeds successfully released their 3rd album Into the Dojo in Europe in July 07 to critical acclaim and strong airplay, followed by their third European tour in the summer 2007.
In 2008 The Black Seeds released their anticipated 4th studio album
'Solid Ground' in NZ, Europe & Australia. The release was supported by sell-out NZ & Australian tours, and two successful European tours which included standout performances at festivals such as Roskilde, The Lovebox Weekender, Garrance, Summerjam, and many more.
Solid Ground will be released in North America in 2009.
Full release details will soon be announced shortly.

hey fellas its josh who u met at southbound in west oz a couple of years back, just thought id drop in a quick message, im in nz ofr another week and wondering if you guys are playn anywhere around wellies before the 7th of july before i fly out. drop us a quick line let me know, chur.
It is extremely vital that ya'll come to the states. My friend and I are huge fans, would love to see u. IT doesn't matter where ya'll go, we will see you, ya'll just have to come to the states! PLEASE!
Ever since i was a youth, I have always been searching for the truth, But having been told so many lies, Life like good music never dies, So the question is posed, Only who in Heaven knows, why is a man respected when he is dead ? Should'nt that respect be paid to the living INSTEAD.
Alive a man is sufferer of no mean order, But dead he has an estate to the value of a Million and over, I must die one day, You'll all hear people say, Yet praying for Salvation, In corrupted meditation, Storing up wealth, ignoring their health, But, a tree is known by its fruits, There is no life in lies, It's all in the truth.
