The Steve Abel Band, described by the New Zealand Herald as a “kiwi supergroup,” has a potent alternative and pop pedigree. With members drawing their lineage from the likes of Bressa Creeting Cake and the Brunettes though to the quirky synth pop of Goodshirt and present day incarnations Pluto and Goldenhorse. Abel’s influence, with his elegiac ballads and rolling 6/8 rhythms, defines this rich collaboration as completely unique.
