Tangent are a one of kind band hailing from Auckland city in Aotearoa.
There is no easy way to explain the music they play, hence the name. They are always going off on one. They prefer to be known as a band that plays cool music that you can dance to.Never ones to shy away from stating their mind, Tangent's message is to spread unity and peace in the world. Throw out all the bullshit, meaningless hatreds and prejudices and try and get along and have fun. They live this as a multicultural band with members from Maori, Croat, Serb, Irish, Scottish and English blood. Altogether as Kiwis. Kia Kaha! Also the deep lyrics of Kelly Kahukiwa help convey that message with songs about corrupt politicians, love, peace and lost promise to name a few.All the members have a huge experience, playing in other bands such as: Batucada Sound Machine, One Million Dollars, dDub, the WBC, The Rodger Fox Big Band, Flying Squad, Santiago, Roofdog, The Brassouls, the Shades, House of Shem, Ardijah, Don McGlashan, AK Samba and Band Latina.Having formed 4 years ago with the core group of Nick, Vuk and Alex, the whanau has increased in size and popularity. They've played to large audiences at Rakinos, The Leigh Sawmill Cafe, 4:20 / Rising Sun and The Khuja Lounge. They are an integral part of Thank Funk Its Friday. Tangent has played in support of One Million Dollars, Batucada Sound Machine and Odessa.This summer Tangent has taken it to the great outdoors - at The Tairua Pohutukawa Festival, Auckland City's Music In Parks, Groove in the Park and Shore Sounds.Their debut EP is in production right now. Keep you eyes and ears peeled for these guys, no doubt you will get addicted to the funky flava of the Tangent.Peace
