Driven by soul searching vocals, Tahuna Breaks' unique combination of funk fuelled grooves, reggae and just a hint of drum n' bass has seen them become a favourite on dance floors across NZ.

They have opened for such top Kiwi bands as Fat Freddy's Drop, Concord Dawn, Sola Rosa and One Million Dollars and even graced the small screen, on Top of the Pops.

Having formed early in '05, the AK-based band is on the cusp of a new nationwide tour {check our 'On Tour' section for more details on the dates}, celebrating the release of their debut album 'Reflections'.

So what's in a name? Well, as much as they'd love to have a story prepared about Tahunas in NZ, their name comes from the street in AK's Freeman's Bay where they first began practicing. And while 'Reflections' has a fairly deep meaning behind it's name, the core of the album mirrors the upbeat, positive attitude the band carries with them.

Tahuna Breaks are not only a group of talented musicians playing together to make good music, they have a passion and desire to produce the best they can, all the while having a fun time while they're doing it - so you do while you're listening!

While some of the songs on 'Reflections' remain cryptic to all but singer Marty Greentree, he says that everyone can relate to the lyrics and take their own meaning for them. The tracks vary from dub-laced rock, bluesy '80s funk inspired riffs, slow seductive grooves and trademark sweet reggae riddims, drawn together by Greentree's infectious vocals.

'Reflections' is an album that highlights the talent and cohesion of Tahuna Breaks and the honest and upbeat Kiwi attitudes that make the band who they are. One that will be heard at bbq's throughout our impending summer, for sure!
