A regular fixture on Wellington’s live music scene, the band have headlined the city’s annual One Love Waitangi Day celebrations (honouring reggae superstar Bob Marley), hit the beaches for summer style outdoor excursions, and warmed dancefloors up and down the country’s East Coast, transforming crowds into sweaty throngs as they dance their sorrows away.

Sporadic releases have likewise found favour with roots fans nation wide & the Workshop dub remix of 'Keep On Pushing' (included on the album) topped several b.net stations’ listener-voted charts and reached the number 2 slot of the country’s Alternative Radio Chart in the first half of 2000 after appearing on LOOP Magazine’s cover CD.

More recently, an album-previewing dub deconstruction of 'Dance Dance' was picked by many as the highlight of Kog Transmissions’ second Dub Combinations compilation, and cemented The Black Seeds’ position as one of Aotearoa’s leading live reggae outfits.
