Minuit (minwee) is a band from Aotearoa New Zealand. Fronted by the enigmatic Ruth Carr, they became a must-see live act through the 2000s. 

Their debut album, The 88, released in 2003, achieved gold status in New Zealand, quickly followed up by the 'I Hate Guns' EP.

Over the following decade, the trio toured their synths and samplers from Helsinki to Hanoi crafting their own refreshing sound, and releasing 3 more studio albums.

Having been retired since 2014, we’re excited to announce that Minuit are back onstage for a limited number of reunion shows in 2025.
