Biography

Breaks Co-op are two New Zealanders, Zane Lowe and Hamish Clark, and an Englishman, Andy Lovegrove.

Zane and Hamish formed Breaks Co-Op in Auckland, releasing the electronic album Roofers in 1997 before they both left New Zealand to travel and pursue other interests. They both ended up in the UK where Zane has become a hugely successful Radio DJ and TV Presenter.

After several years hiatus, Zane and Hamish eventually started working on new material in 2004, recruiting Andy Lovegrove from artist/producers The Away Team after hearing a demo of him sing and deciding his was the voice born to sing their music.

Released last year in New Zealand, The Sound Inside has been a double-platinum selling hit, with lead single The Otherside the No.1 airplay hit of 2005 and winner of Song Of The Year at the NZ Music Awards.

The Co-op has also been touring for much of the last six months and has relocated to the UK where their album has been released by Parlophone. The live band has been going from strength to strength and gathering fans wherever it goes.

The live lineup is Andy Lovegrove on lead vocals and guitar, Rodney Fisher on vocals, lead guitar, mandolin and percussion, Rio Hemopo on bass and vocals, Tom Atkinson on drums and Hamish Clark on turntables, samples and vocals.

    Love these guys - stupidly discovered them on RETURNING from a month in New Zealand, having driven round both islands for all that time picking up a stack of local music. I always warm to bands that have their own sound...and these guys have it in stacks!! Warm, eclectic and original!!! Big up you guys!!!! :-)
