Slavetrader are one of Auckland's heavy rock bands. Their sound can be likened to the original 70's acts of ACDC, Black Sabbath and even early Iron Maiden.
History
The band first formed in 2002 when Matt Alien and James Jett made the move north from Christchurch in order to make a real go of a career in music. Matt Alien was already a well known musician having been the former front man and guitarist of Christchurch band The Hi-Tone Destroyers. Both he and James Jett (on bass) had been involved in numerous underground projects in the Christchurch scene.
In 2003 Slavetrader shared the stage with long time heroes Dead Moon (from Portland, Oregan) on a national 10 date NZ tour. They've crossed the Tasman three times to play for the Ozzies, released two 7" singles, and recorded The People's Party EP with Dion and Vaughn of The D4.
