Black Seeds Returns to Europe
New Zealand reggae-funk heavyweights The Black Seeds announce their return to the Northern Hemisphere in April/May to support the release of their highly anticipated new studio album ‘Dust And Dirt’.

Inspired by funk and soul, but even more so by reggae, the Black Seeds took shape in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1997. Their first album, Keep on Pushing, wasn't issued until 2001, but by then, they had already established themselves as a strong live act, and their first release solidified a fan base that spread through UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Australia, and Switzerland.
The follow-up, 2004's On the Sun, went double platinum in the band's native country. Into the Dojo, released in the middle of 2006, debuted at number one; in addition to touring throughout Europe, the band also played some dates in the U.S. Their fourth studio album Solid Ground reached platinum status in New Zealand and during their touring in the US it became #15 on the US Billboard Reggae Charts.
Now they are back with a new album filled once more with heavily enticing funk, reggae and soul. More information on their record as well as their forthcoming tour dates are to be found here on Kartel's website.
