Trinity Falls Essay
After bringing their unique blues and reggae sound to the east coast earlier this year, legendary New Zealand trio Trinity Falls are returning to headline the Queenscliff Music Festival in November.
“We’re kind of a mixture of Aotearoa love sound I suppose, psychedelic rock kick. So yeah, we like to take the audience on a bit of a sonic journey. Get some important messages across with the lyrics.” Shares drummer and vocalist Ben Lemi. “Yeah, so a bit of a show that we’ve prepared.”
As a group, Trinity Falls formed in 2001 and have toured across New Zealand numerous times. Bringing their music to Australia then, is somewhat of an “experiment.”
“That was our first real tour that we did over there this year, so we didn’t exactly know what to expect. We had a few friends in the industry and the Australian Music Industry saying that maybe our sound would sit well with …show more content…
So yeah, talking true relationships. Not being so locked into the Internet. You know, developing personal relationships with people on a physical level, so that sort of thing.”
This message transcends their recordings and also encompasses their live shows. “We like to take our time with a lot of the jams that we play…some of the songs that have typical arrangement in terms of verse, chorus, things happening. Also, we do like to stretch those forms out, kind of let the sonic aspects and the more musical aspects on that journey.”
In a nutshell, Trinity Roots is a band that cannot be put in a niche, and that is definitive of their music. “It’s sort of a linear journey I suppose…we like to transport people.”
Joining other Kiwi acts like Thomas Oliver, Estére and Hollie Smith, (Lemi adds in, “She’s got a really great soul voice, and her band’s great to check out ,”) you can catch Trinity Roots at the Queenscliff Music Festival from November 27-29. Tickets are available at
