Biography
Spa are made up of the combined talents of Steven Tait (vocals, guitar), Hayden Sinclair (bass) and Brian Donnelly (drums).
Tait and Sinclair have played in bands together for a few years now. After stints in Dunedin and London (where Spa headlined the First New Zealand Music Festival with the Ghostclub), the band have now settled in Auckland.
Donnelly, has also played with many other NZ bands and played on David Kilgour's Sugar Mouth album as well as stints with Sugarbug and Sinkboat.
The first Spa singles, Neil of Diamonds, Yale and Red Shoes have received considerable radio play throughout NZ and Australia. Neil of Diamonds was nominated for Indie Video of the Year at the Juice TV awards in 2004 while the video for Yale was a finalist in the Best Animated Video section of the 2004 Kodak Music Clip Awards, held annually in Wellington.
Spa are signed to the Sarang Bang Records label, home of Sinclair and Tait's other band Salon Kingsadore. The band are working on their second album at present and hope to add their steady stream of rock gems to the New Zealand rock pantheon.
