Music News - Sons of Zion: Hungover Tour
08 July 2016 - 0 Comments
As their popularity
continues to soar around the globe, Kiwi band Sons of Zion are bringing the love
home to Aotearoa with an extensive nationwide tour.
The six-piece - consisting of Rio
Panapa, Samuel
Eriwata, Joel
Latimer, Zane Graham, Caleb Haapu and Matt Sadgrove- kick off their road trip in Rotorua on August 5.
They’ll then criss-cross the North Island taking their unique fusion of
rock, dub, R’n’B, with the foundation of reggae, to the people of New
Zealand.
Sons of Zion have gone from strength to strength since forming in 2007 and
releasing their debut self-titled album in 2009. They hit their stride
three years later with the release of the hit song Good Love, which has
since clocked up an astounding 1.1 million plus views on YouTube. They
followed it up with the equally successful Tell Her, scoring #1 Airplay on
the NZ charts.
Their sophomore album Universal Love debuted at #3 on the Top 40 Album Chart, with the
single Superman establishing them as one of the country’s leading
roots, reggae bands.
Sons of Zion have since carved out a name for themselves as one of the top live
bands on the world stage. They’ve toured with prominent Kiwi acts such as Katchafire, Kora, The Black Seeds and Ladi6 and last summer
played at some of the biggest festivals in New Zealand, from One Love and East Coast Vibes to Rhythm N Alps and Homegrown.
And love for the band stretches far beyond southern hemisphere shores. They’re
a sought-out live act on the international festival circuit and are hot
property in Australia and the United States, including Hawaii where
they’ve had three number one singles.
Now, with work underway for a new album, their new single Hungover a hit on
radio, a US tour lined up for later in the year, and a return to the One Love Festival also
on the cards, Sons
of Zion are looking forward to taking their music back to where
it all began - the towns and cities of New Zealand. Don’t miss your chance
to see one of the New Zealand’s most successful musical exports up close and personal in a town or city near you!
