Knox, along with drummer Jarrod Hooper, bassist Matthew Mahood and guitarist Wakaia Tamehana formed the band straight after lockdown last year. They'd only performed live a couple of times when they decided to play in front of hundreds of people at local music gig The Koru Project last weekend. They were named the project's ‘Spotlight Winner’, which gained them a $500 RockShop voucher and one whole day at Rhythm Ace Recording Studio in Oakura, which is booked out until August. “It's actually huge. It’s a really big deal,” Knox said. SIMON O'CONNOR/Stuff Knox said winning the recording opportunity was a “big deal” and would help the band put out an EP.
