Bio
In celebration of their upcoming sixth album, May 2023 will see L.A.B embark on their first shows in the USA, including a marquee slot at the California Roots Festival, a string of shows with Maoli, and their own headline show at The Republik in Honolulu, Hawaii.
After winning Best Group, Best Song & Best Album two years in a row at the New Zealand Music Awards, taking out Best Record at the 2022 Rolling Stone Awards and being voted New Zealand's Best Live Act by Radio New Zealand, L.A.B are on fire!
L.A.B's groove blends an eclectic mix of reggae, blues, funk, rock and electronic - all combining to create a sound entirely their own. Formed by Brad Kora, L.A.B comprises his brother Stu Kora, Ara Adams-Tamatea, Miharo Gregory & frontman Joel Shadbolt. Featuring former members of two of New Zealand's premier acts Kora & Katchafire, L.A.B have made their name on the live stages of New Zealand & Australia.
The past five years have seen them release a new album each year, and have since become a mainstay in the NZ Music Charts and on the festival circuit, headlining every major festival across New Zealand and Australia from the Byron Bay Bluesfest & WOMAD to Rhythm and Vines & One Love.
L.A.B's 2022 summer run of sold-out stadiums saw them perform to over 70,000 people in Australia & New Zealand, including a sold-out show at Auckland's iconic Western Springs.
After releasing five albums in five years, the band have cemented themselves on the NZ charts, with 'In The Air' and 'Why Oh Why' both reaching Number One. Their accomplishments include all five albums reaching multi-platinum status, alongside 15 multi-platinum singles & 10 gold singles.
