Spiral play dirty groove tunes, drawing from funk latin rock reggae and jazz, and served with a good phat dollop of stanky vibe. With heavy beats, a raging horn section, quirky lyrics, catchy melodies, dirty guitars & lush keys,
Spiral tunes are intricate and detailed, but with plenty of space for spontaneity, improvisation, interplay & audience interaction, giving each show a unique vibe; no two Spiral shows are the same. Hailing from Auckland, New Zealand, Spiral is a collective of 7 of New Zealand's most in demand musicians who have played with artists such as Batucada Sound Machine, dDub, Haley Westenra, and the Rodger Fox big band.
