Eight

There are two bands called Eight: The first one: Formed in Auckland New Zealand in 1996, eight have taken their time, crafting songs which capture varied moods from rock radio hits to brooding melodic soundscapes. Once described as 'soundtracks for life', eight's music is powerfully affecting, infused with both an enveloping intensity and a spacious calm. Eight released their debut album 'Moving' in March 2004 through Sony BMG records and have independently released three singles in NZ since 2001.

Eight split up in 2005, only a year after the release of their LP. The album, coincidentally, took eight years to finish.

Several of eight's members have gone on to produce solo material:
