Formed in 1996, Auckland band EIGHT have been quietly but firmly establishing their presence on the local music scene. They have independently released three singles in New Zealand to date ('Whale', 'Moments Gone', and 'Shift'), all of which have gained solid sales and received high rotate radio & music television support. Now in their eighth year, EIGHT are to release their first full-length album, aptly titled 'Moving'. Featuring 'Whale', ' 'Moments Gone', and current radio single 'No Way To Decide', 'Moving' was recorded over five months of 2003 at award winning producer Malcolm Welsford's home studio in Auckland. EIGHT has a high degree of industry experience amongst their own ranks also. Drummer Paul Russell was an original member of the hugely successful group Supergroove, and more recently was part of Che Fu & The Krates. He and other members of EIGHT have also played for the likes of Anika Moa and Brooke Fraser. EIGHT have performed alongside some of New Zealand's finest bands as well as in support of international acts Creed and Incubus. Beginning 2004 with a successful 16 date summer tour with Goldenhorse and Brooke Fraser, EIGHT plan to continue performing extensively throughout the year.
