Shapeshifter *Live*

Shapeshifter *Live*

Fresh from tearing up Australia in a Riddim Wise style, Shapeshifter return to their homeland to present a quality show of high energy live dancefloor bizniz. The group celebrate their b.net NZ music award nominations, the release of the 'When I Return' video, and the return of P.Diggs from his European performances.
Shapeshifter's live sound is a journey into blazing jungle and drum'n'bass, washed with soulful grooves, hip hop and tuff dancehall. Using live, unsequenced instrumentation, they create a tight, progressive sound that has earned them a reputation as the 'most fearsome exponents of live d'n'b this side of the equator'.

Don't miss the group that has proven themselves time and time again to be on the cutting edge of original live performance.

“Shapeshifter have the ….well deserved reputation as the most fearsome live exponents
of drum’n’bass this side of the equator” Jim Pinckney, NZ Listener (Apr 3-9 2004).
