Stay alert the Crown Band is cooking......

Lucy Maynard

A group of five local boys, creating unreal tunes for your ears :)

Four boys from high school, one Rockquest stage in Auckland, and a whole lot of drive. That is the story of The Crown Band, now based in Ōtautahi, where they have been cooking up and creating amazing sound, beyond their high school days. 

Starting out doing covers. The Crown Band quickly proved they were no longer content just rehashing old hits. They have made a name for themselves in the indie rock scene

What is cool about them is how natural it feels. Kōkakos' day show had the chance to sit down with them and hear a live performance. They are still young, but the lyrics show maturity beyond their years. Playing in Ōtautahi’s thriving music scene has helped them create a name for themselves. 
If you have not caught them live yet, you need to. They are loud, they are proud, and they are only just getting started.
