Niche Presents Tiki Taane in May

Representing Aotearoa New Zealand, Tiki Taane brings his critically acclaimed live experience back to OZ to celebrate the Australian release of his debut album 'PAST PRESENT FUTURE'.

Known and respected as one of the major influences of Aotearoa roots music, Tiki spent 11 years carving his way around the world as the dynamic frontman for Salmonella Dub, writing, singing and producing some of their most well known tracks. After many successful albums, and countless sell out tours, Tiki decided to leave the band to focus on his solo record 'PAST PRESENT FUTURE'.

Quickly becoming one of the biggest selling records in NZ, the album features the already released singles - Tangaroa, Now This Is It, Our Favorite Target, Faded, and the huge No1 hit single 'Always On My Mind', with all videos available on youtube.com.

After huge Big Day Out reviews - some claiming him as the highlight of the tour, Tiki returns for 3 shows only with his allstar band, THE DUB SOLDIERS.
The TIKI LIVE show has been described as dynamic and powerful, uplifting and stirring, compelling and spiritually moving, making this an experience not to be missed.
