Weta
Новая Зеландия
Добавлен 22 ноя 2020
Weta were a four-piece rock band from Wellington, New Zealand.
The band was formed in 1995. It supported touring bands including Everclear, Foo Fighters, and Soundgarden.
In 1997 Aaron Tokona temporarily filled in on guitar for Adelaide, Australia band The Superjesus, after guitarist Chris Tennent left the band. When offered the position full-time, Tokona declined in order to concentrate on Weta. Impressed with his abilities as a guitarist, former Superjesus manager Dan Hennessy took a keen interest in the band and when he took over as A&R chief at Warner Bros. Records Australia, Weta were added to their roster and the band moved to Melbourne, Australia in 1999.
The band's first release came in 1998 with the Natural Compression EP, which had been recorded at Marmalade Studios in Wellington by Tim Farrant, with friend and Shihad drummer Tom Larkin producing.
September 2000 saw the New Zealand release of their debut album, Geographica, produced by Grammy nominee Steve James.

Side of stage view of Let it Go and Where Have You Been. Big Day Out, 16th January 2009, Auckland, New Zealand.
The best video direction I've seen, it give the music so much more power..pure brilliance.
Classic kiwi anthem remember this tune from the late 1990s it’s up there with the other all time kiwi greats
One of the most dynamic tracks I've heard in ages. Such a cool video too.
All these years later, thank you, Weta, for such awesome stuff.
One of the best build ups I have ever heard.
Hot!
❤ r.i.p Aaron. First time I heard these songs back in the late 90s I was hooked! Great loss to NZ music, still jamming in 2024
Just fucking awesome….
Always the background amp up track before paddling out somewhere tropical.
This band is criminally underrated.
Does anyone know Taika ? Kiwis ? Can you ask him to feature Weta in one of movies so they have the attention they deserve
TAIKA WAITITI ! CAN YOU PUT THIS SONG IN ONE OF YOUR MOVIES AND GIVE IT THE ATTENTION IT DESERVES
What is the ju?
Bad juju/good juju, so kick back and ride the wave.
LYRICS.....LYRICS.......LYRICS...... See the light forced from the sun Can you hear your heartbeat? Hold the light upon your face Plant the seed among us Calling on, calling on, calling on, calling on Switching off my radio (radio) Breathless bliss upon me Sleeping would I see some peace? In my dreams I'm flying Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on Life is smashing overt Like a falling angel Like my paranoia Like to screen things over Like a smouldering offering Like a trying passion Like I've fallen over Like I'm suffocated... So calling on, sending out I'm calling on, sending out I'm calling on, sending out Calling on... Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, Calling on, oooh oooh....
This song goes so hard, makes me a proud kiwi
The connection between everyone in this song is crazy. Bass and drums, guitar. Vocals. Insane

Found this song on the ROck and added it to my spotify rock/metal playlist. This shit is a banger.
a rock classic forever ❤🤘🇳🇿
still jam this hard 2024 RIL Aaron
Wow! Talk about rythym and musical texture. Congratulations fellas. Its not easy to master and perform a minimalist ( read: delicate) song that's so listenable, strong and unique. Thank you for this!
Great song. Should be everywhere!
This song always gives me a very deep, visceral reaction and when thinking of the loss of the bro Aaron it really hits. This song is an underrated masterpiece.
One of The Best Rock Songs Ever Made ✊
Fork this song get you jumping Life is SUFFERCATING!!! Call it On!!!!
Awesome
Best Kiwi track......EVER.
Best track from a Kiwi band......ever.
Totally agree
Hail the brother mr Takona Ngati Te Rangi rip my G ❤
💕 Actual! 😎🙏
This song was just playing in the back of my mind. I bought the album on disc soon after the release. It's a shame that they split up so soon after releasing the debut album. Definitely had something going for them.
RIP My Big Hori Pal! this is the best thing New Zealand ever made, not dairy or lamb or all blacks or hangis or whitebait or "What happens in Queenstown stays in Queenstown" or Johah Lomus Mums Taro sauce or even the $200 quarter gram of meth on dole day.... WETA KICKS WAY MORE ASS THAN ALL THAT KAKA!
Well said, so true 😊❤
This was one lush sounding album. Wonder who produced it.?
Very pretty song
