Don’t say Picky Hippers are a quintessential kiwi band! You could, they did form on the south island of New Zealand and they do play an infectious blend of funk, soul and classic rock that echoes of the greats who came before. But there’s something……else. Maybe it’s the fact that 2 of the 5 aren’t kiwis at all? An international flavour if you will. Whatever it is, Picky Hippers have it in spades.
The band’s debut album Full Flavour Behaviour jumps with heavy grooves, a hint of jazz and a little punk rock energy. Recorded at the band’s own Boatshed Studios in Kaikoura and mixed by Dallas Cosmas at Prototype Musique in Melbourne, Full Flavour Behavior brings together the band’s many influences and creates something truly unique.This makes Picky Hippers the new quintessential kiwi band to watch.
