About 1814:

Hailing from the hills surrounding the beautiful Whangaroa Harbour, 1814 started out in 2004 and have been bringing their own take on Kiwi flavoured reggae ever since.

The band has since gained a huge reputation for its live shows and extensive touring throughout New Zealand, being on the road for months on end. The band has also become a popular favourite on the festival circuit both in New Zealand and overseas.

Over the years this band has supported numerous international bands like Third World on their NZ Tour, Nas and Damien Marley on their Distant Relatives Tour, Michael Franti and Spearhead, Kolohe Kai, Rebel Souljahs, Raggamuffin international artists; Mary J Blige, Jimmy Cliff, Maxi Priest, The Wailers, Kymani Marley, J Boog, Spawnbreezie, Billy Ocean, Ali Campbell, Sly and Robbie, Arrested Development and N’kule Dube.
