   About Tahuna Breaks
Since their beginnings in January 2005, Tahuna Breaks have always been a band built upon a simple philosophy- the love of music. With an open mind and an adventurous spirit, unafraid to mix genres and musical stylings- their ‘anything goes’ and sometimes unconventional approach is governed only by two criteria: passion and energy. The lifeblood of this band is live performance and it is from countless live gigs and tours that they have crafted their own brand of roots reggae, funk, soul and good old fashioned rock and roll. Put simply this is a band that thrives on working hard and winning audiences over.
In October of 2007, two and half years after the band formed, the Auckland-based group celebrated the release of their debut album, 'Reflections,' to rave reviews across the board. The album has held the number 3 spot on the Independent charts and two of its tracks have been included on successive NZ on Air "Kiwi Hitdisks". Accompanying the album, the band had three music videos for 'Voodoo", "Real Life" and "Casually Acquainted" which have all sat on music TV playlists nationwide. In 2008, the band received the Juice TV Music Award for Best Roots / Electronica Video for the release of 'Real Life', coming in on top of an impressive lineup of New Zealand’s heavyweight acts.

Tahuna Breaks got its start back in the day when two school friends started jamming out; Timmy G rocking out on the drums with James Winkle laying down the basslines. Soon, old family friend, Marty Greentree, joined the mix as lead lyricist and vocalist. Throwing in a bit of style and a feminine touch, friend and saxophone player Kelsey Serjeant jumped in after catching up with the boys at a concert. The bands first practice space was on Tahuna St in Auckland, lending them not only a place to jam, but also their name. Through the years they’ve moved from a garage in Onehunga, to the west coast at Piha, and finally back to Auckland. A small carpet-clad storage space near the quays in downtown Auckland now houses the band and their tunes. Without worry of disturbing the neighbours, they can rock out and let the creative genius flow. Along the journey, the band has expanded to include Tim Baker on the trumpet, Jonny McClean on sax, Adam “Young Blood” Fuhr on the keys, and Tom Charleson on the guitar. Their music has only grown richer with the addition of each member, leading to an amazing sound, unmatched anywhere in New Zealand




From the very beginning, they've had a reputation for getting the party started. With countless tours under their belt, including several sell out shows around New Zealand and international commitments in Australia, the band is rapidly gaining recognition and praise. Tahuna Breaks continues to take big steps and with a hectic 2009 on the horizon, we can expect great things from the band. We can look forward to some major Festival appearances, several tours (including a return to Australian shores) and the much-anticipated release of their second album ‘Black, Brown & White’ in August.

BRAND NEW ALBUM "BLACK BROWN AND WHITE" IN STORES AUGUST 31st!!!!!

GRAFFITI BREAKZ 008# SAT 13TH SEPT @ THE PURPLE TURTLE, CAMDEN ( END OF SUMMER BALL ). Its Graffiti Breakz 008# back to provideSomewhere at an undisclosed location, evil scientists have been developing a serum of broken beats, basslines, Digital visual and spray-can art, so potent it will raise the dead. After what has seemed like an age Graffiti Breakz is proud to present the effects of our serum...

.....We give you Graffiti Breakz – The Resurrection.! Sat 31st Oct ’09 (Halloween)

Graffiti Breakz has gained the reputation of being one of the only events in London to successfully combine Breaks, Hardcore Breaks, Drum and Bass’ Live music and Live Graffiti art all under one roof

Now with a larger venue and longer opening hours we will be adding to the mix Dubstep’ Electro/Dubstep, Live Breaks acts, Full Graff art Instillations, Full Graff Art Galleries, More Giveaways, Brighter Lights, and Louder bass to create a vibe re-born; stronger and more electric than any Graffiti Breakz so far..

All 3 rooms will be in session to their full potential. As you enter the rhythm factory you‘ll be met by the artwork of some of London’s leading artists showcasing at the Graffiti Gallery.

As you pass the gallery instillation, and live 6’x4’ Artwork being created in the front bar you arrive in the main room bursting with Live Acts’ DJ Teams, visual displays and much more.

Drifting further into the East London venue, you will find dirty dubstep, kick driven breaks, and the addictive rumble of dark and dirty bass.

Gracing the stages of the 2 Dance floors we have a line up that includes award winning Djs; Apply The Breaks, pioneering producers; Ctrl-z, inspiring funk soul band; Junkyard scientists, and leading the way in the live breaks scene; Diverted. With Duel Calibre’s tear-out sound belting through the 7k rig there’s be something to wake every corpse
