Event Details

Rhombus plays on the edge of dub, reggae, hip-hop dance, oratory and funk. With strong, inventive song-craft and musicality, Rhombus create music that you can dance to. Rhombus has amassed a following in New Zealand and internationally, especially in Australia and Japan. For the Piñata collaboration, Rhombus performs with live projection imagery created by one of New Zealand's leading artists Michel Tuffery. Rhombus have given their time to include Greenpeace, tsunami relief, surf-aid, the Cancer Society, the New Zealand Youth Parliament and the Peace Boat, which band cofounders Simon Rycroft and Thomas Voyce have been involved with throughout 2006. Their travels on the Japan-based global NGO Peace Boat have taken them through the Caribbean (including Jamaica - home of Studio One, King Tubby and many other influential artists) and through the Pacific, spreading the values of sustainability, cooperation and peace through music workshops from a chartered ship. The Rhombus production crew comprises band founders Thomas Voyce and Simon Rycroft with Koa Williams. In addition to production, Thomas plays bass / keys and writes lyrics, Simon handles electronic tweaks, beats and dubs while Koa takes to turntable duties as DJ support for live shows. The latest album features vocalists MC Antsman, MC Mana, Raashi Malik and Lisa Tomlins, together bringing a powerful and soulful voice to Rhombus. "Rhombus doesn't disappoint, taking in various points of the musical compass, mixing and mutating genres into its own blend of dub, reggae, soul and scratchy funk."_Otago Daily Times
