Биография

Weta came to Australasian attention following 1999's release of the 'Natural Compression' EP, achieving gold sales in NZ and Australia and producing radio hits “Let It Go” and “Got the Ju”. The band relocated to Melbourne after signing to Warner Music Australia, with the resulting touring schedule solidifying the band as one of New Zealand's finest live acts and endearing the band to Australian audiences and music industry. However, it was the band’s debut long player, Geographica, released in September 2000 and produced by Grammy Nominee Steve James, that defined the band’s dynamic palette of soundscapes, musical diversity, and distinctively unique approach to songwriting. The 11-track album generated popular and critical acclaim, with the NZ Herald’s Russell Baillie calling it the “best local release of the year” and earning accolades ‘Most Promising Band’ and ‘Most Promising Vocalist’ at the 2000 New Zealand Music Awards. Despite peaking at Number 8 on the NZ album charts and generating platinum sales, Weta broke up following a much-anticipated nationwide tour with Shihad and Fur Patrol. Without a band to support it, Geographica was never released in Australia, which remains as unfinished business for the band.
