'Revving up the mood...with a reggae fusion incorporating twists of ska, R&B;, experimental jazz and soul' -Wellington Live Music



The Midnights are a six-piece live group that plays all-original New Zealand soul roots reggae.















Having formed in March 2002, The Midnights pride themselves on their original material and approach. While the music includes a wide and varied range of reggae styles, spanning the music's precursor, Ska, to the later styles such as Rock Steady and the slower Roots Reggae, The Midnights' sound also draws from a diverse range of other musical styles such as Blues, Soul and New Zealand's own musical history to help their music grow into something truly one-of-a-kind. All solid musicians, they continue to capture a truly unique Aotearoa soul reggae sound. A steady following has developed that continues to spread across the country from their base in Grey Lynn, Auckland. The growing number of fans coming to see The Midnights' live show can be attributed to the group's continued development and growth which ensures that new material and refined craftsmanship continue to be a hallmark of The Midnights' sound.
