Tāmaki Makaurau band Corrella has become a new favorite on the Aotearoa music scene, quickly making a name for themselves with their sun-soaked, reggae-inspired sound. Today, the band releases an EP of live studio sessions recorded at Roundhead Studios in Auckland.

Corrella’s popularity has exploded over the last 12 months, with their track Blue Eyed Māori arriving as the sleeper-hit of 2023. The track has spent over 35 weeks at the number one spot on the NZ Singles Chart to date, the longest run ever at number one. Alongside a run of high-profile festival appearances over the summer, this new release celebrates a band on the rise.

To celebrate the EP’s release, the band will be playing a special series of headline shows in May across Te Ika-a-Māui / the North Island. They will play Mount Maunganui’s Totara St alongside galactic-funk band Black Comet, and Wellington’s San Fran will see them supported by Pōneke locals Valley Kids. Auckland will see them play at the iconic Powerstation, with support from hip-hop royalty DJ Sir-Vere, plus special guests to be announced.

Live At Roundhead Studios opens with the Te Reo Māori waiata Raumati, which was featured as part of the Waiata Anthems series in 2022. The EP also features the tracks Lady Divine, Bonfire, and their number one charting single, Blue Eyed Māori, all of which appeared on their debut album, Road From 26.

The EP arrives alongside live videos for each track, filmed and recorded at Roundhead Studios by Christian Tjandrawinata. The release showcases an act that has fast become a festival favourite across Australasia. The band is currently in the writing process for their second album and will be performing headline shows around Aotearoa in May to celebrate this new release, their first headline shows since the sell-out Road From 26 tour in 2023.

See Corrella live as they hit the road in May for their headline tour taking on Wellington’s San Fran, Tauranga’s Totara Street and Auckland’s Powerstation, presented by Loop.
