Shapeshifter have been heralded as a musical phenomenon for their ground breaking live shows, and have received widespread critical and commercial acclaim for their recorded work.

Their latest album ‘Soulstice’ entered the NZ national charts at remarkable #4, and they spent over 2 months in the top 20, also reaching #1 on the independent charts. In 2006 they were awarded the New Zealand bnet music award for Best Live Act, Song of the Year for ‘Bring Change’ and Album of the Year for ‘Soulstice’.

Shapeshifter are New Zealand’s top drum and bass band and favourite live act. They’ve toured Australia for the Big Day Out, and were even selected as the support band for heavy metal band Tool at their Melbourne sideshow.

The band’s sound has evolved to transcend genre definition, taking elements from jazz, latin, reggae, soul, rock, hip hop and electronica, and blending it all live in a truly diverse and overwhelming dancefloor experience.

Sharam [Audio]: Wilder than ever

By angy 23rd Dec, 2009
