Bio

Looma came together in 1998. They have performed with fellow Napier group Jakob, leading to some talk of the emergence of a 'Hawkes Bay sound', with these two bands at its forefront.

Looma confidently wrenches guitar fuelled rock with free floating atmosheric and psychedelic sounds that bands from this part of the world are renowned for.

Looma formed in 1998, completing their first recording Now I Know on 4-track. Later that year a self-titled album was recorded at Venn Productions with David Holmes. Looma's eponymous album gained positive press coverage from several prominent NZ music publications and has received good air time on b-net stations.

A 'live to air' was recorded at Matrix (studio) for Radio Active during Easter 2000, with new songs getting air play thoughout the b-net.

Band Members:
Jesse Booher (vocals, guitar)

Elise du Fresne (vocals, bass)
