We say:

Since forming in 2001, Wellington based Rhombus has forged a reputation as one of New Zealand’s most original and energetic live acts, selling out shows and festivals across the country and in Australia and Japan.

Originally founded by musicians and producers, Thomas Voyce and Simon Rycroft, Rhombus features a constantly evolving collective of local talent. Vocalists include MC Antsman, MC Mana, Raashi Malik and Lisa Tomlins, while Darren ‘D’ Mathiassen plays the drums, Thomas Voyce plays bass / keys and Simon Rycroft is in control of the electronic beats and dubs. Rhombus management is led by DJ Koa.

The unique Rhombus sound has put the band at the top of the New Zealand music industry having performed alongside the likes of St Germain (France), Fat Freddy’s Drop (NZ), Salmonella Dub (NZ), Michael Franti (USA), Dry and Heavy (Japan), Trinity Roots (NZ), Gomez (UK), Kora (NZ), Shapeshifter (NZ), Katchafire (NZ), and at New Zealand’s Big Day Out in 2003 and 2006.

Along the way, Rhombus has picked up many awards to attest their talent, including New Zealand’s Most Promising New Act in 2002; Best Video, Best Electronic Album and Best Album at 2003’s New Zealand b-Net Music Awards and Best Aotearoa Roots Album finalist at the NZ 2006 Music Awards.
