NZ Love #8: Summer Beats- Shapeshifter

 

NZ Love: NZ drum + bass band Shapeshifter.

Kicking it off with some eye candy! You like? But just wait til you go visit their website and you can see these in motion! Seriously- go check it out if you haven't already seen it, I think I could spend aaaages just watching all the pretty shapes moving to the music. If you're a design nerd or just love pretty moving things, go see, and you can even capture yourself an amazing new wallpaper! (Like the ones above) The website was done by clever guys at Resn in Wellington (♥)  

So anyway.... I wanted to feature Shapeshifter for NZ Love this week because apart from- they are awesome- we went to their Wellington concert like 2 weeks before we left NZ (thanks to Steve's tricky workmates Mirko and Ryan!) And- they always remind me of Summer parties or barbeques on our lawn at our little old Mount Victoria villa!
Now that the weathers getting warmer (here anyway...!) I'm in the mood for some Summer beats- NZ has quite a few awesome bands that make me think of Summer so I'll try share them with you :)
So if you're in the Northern hemisphere have a listen to their tracks, preferably on a sunny patch of grass with a cold beer. And if you're in the Southern hemisphere (NZ!) blast it so loud you forget it's getting chilly! Have a listen (at their pretty website or below) even if you're not a huge drum and bass fan (I'm not really but I love these guys)     
I *think* they actually moved to Berlin- making it big in Europe- yeah! Hopefully I'll find a show round here soon.
