LEFT OR RIGHT

About Me

Introducing Aotearoa’s only alternative heavy rock, dub/reggae, power trio!
Left or Right are a 3 piece band (formerly known as Lefty & Righty) raised in the deep south of Invercargill. The band plays their own original music that is described as a chunky mixture of New Zealand Roots, Reggae and Dub with a monstrous kick of Hard Rock and Blues. 3 part harmonies are a characteristic feature of the band. Left or Right have developed a soulful, feel good vibe that revolves around a passion for rock, reggae & blues music, with three minds frequently twisting up the songwriting.
- Duncan Eddy, Fresh FM, Motueka
“Left or Right sound like Invercargill musos raised on a diet of rock n blues (think Black Sabbath and Jimi Hendrix), who have been exposed to the sweet dub/reggae riddims of Aotearoa’s roots revival”
The band played The Bluff Oyster and Seafood Festival in May 2008 supporting Fat Freddys Drop. Having recently gigged with top Auckland act dDub, they have also completed two extensive South Island NZ tours. They also performed new years (2007/2008) slots at Lake Hawea in Central Otago alongside many top New Zealand acts including Supergroove, The Blackseeds, Anika Moa, The Dudes and The Feelers.
The Left or Right boys went into Albany Street Studios in Dunedin to record the rhythm tracks (drums, bass, guitar) for their debut E.P in late 2007/2008. They are currently on the "Chilled Mish Winter National tour" to anticipate the release in early 2009.
