The Black Seeds

Overview

It’s become a ritual of late for musicians to tour year after year. It’s something that brings hope to the fans that miss out on tickets, and no doubt puts some cash in the performers’ pockets too. No strangers to the ritual are Kiwi band, The Black Seeds, who were only here last year for Splendour. If you didn’t get to catch their absolutely blistering set, you will be pleased to know they are back again to tour the country on their 2012 Australia Dust and Dirt Release Tour.

The Black Seeds dropped their sophomore album in April and since then the reggae masters have gone from strength to strength, garnering exceptional live reviews here and abroad. This show is a chance to gain a much-coveted first live listen to their newest stuff. The Black Seeds aren’t one trick ponies, with their latest release being self-recorded and produced in a modest Wellington studio. This exciting, organic step has created a new level of hype for the group, as their sound is evolving and changing. Make sure you catch their set, along with guests Cheap Fakes, and no matter if you miss out on tickets or if you go, I’m sure they’ll be back to amaze us all once again.
