Lake South takes the best of the Aotearoa New Zealand songwriting tradition and infuses it with raw emotion and electronics. Defiant, DIY, indie anthems for people who give a damn.
These are the kind of songs that make you want to run down an empty street at dusk, screaming your heart out for a better future. As the band makes their way across the motu, prepare for a live show that hits deep.
The band has released 3 critically acclaimed albums, with Graham Reid calling Lake an ‘electro-folk postcard poet of his doubting generation’.
Lake South has toured Canada, New Zealand and Australia, and was booked to play at SXSW 2020 before the world changed. The band played Camp a Low Hum in 2024 and Pōneke’s Cubadupa 2025 before they tour Aotearoa in June/July. The European tour is set for June/July 2026.

Theo Sekeris (bass)
