NEW ALBUM 'SHADOW LIGHT' OUT NOW!!

Tahuna Breaks have always encompassed a rich diversity of musical genres and styles.

With six members, the group’s live act is energetic, raw and large. It combines aspects of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s and is influenced by artists as varied as James Brown to Daft Punk. The band are well known for mixing genres and have honed their sound on the live stage that encompasses funk, disco, soul, live electronics and roots.

Since inception over six years ago, the band have gained momentum, focusing more and more on addictive rhythms that get audiences moving. They have an appetite for continuously progressing and pushing boundaries in their live performance, and audiences have already begun taking note of the band’s shift towards a sound that is bigger, darker and heavier.

Regulars at major events, the band have performed at The Big Day Out, Homegrown, Highlife NYE, Rhythm & Vines and many other major festivals across both New Zealand and Australia, along with countless tours and sold out performances.

In 2007 they released their debut album Reflections which was followed closely by their highly anticipated second album Black Brown & White in 2009. Both records charted strongly, won awards and have firmly cemented Tahuna Breaks’ place on the New Zealand and Australasian music scenes.

Tahuna Breaks have entered the new decade with a fresh focus and a new challenge. March 2013 saw the Auckland-based group release their third major release ‘Shadow Light’ under the guidance of UK producers ‘Crazy P’. Featuring original and remixed tracks, this album reflects the band’s progression and focus toward the more dance-orientated funk sound that they’ve been so well renown for.

Singles ‘Moves‘,  ’Smooth‘, and ‘Fearless‘ and 'Stars' have all received considerable airplay and have been regulars on the weekly George FM Top 5 chart. 

2014 has seen the band busy in the studio writing and recording new material with the first single ready to drop in May. Stay tuned...
