The WBC

After fifteen long years, the much-anticipated reunion of The WBC has finally been announced. Discussions about reuniting the band have taken place before, but this time it’s actually happening!

This December, acclaimed Fat Wreck Chords ska champions, Mad Caddies, will be playing shows in Aotearoa, and in support, The WBC will take the stage once again. Fans can expect the same passion, energy, and infectious grooves that made the band a beloved crowd favorite all those years ago.

Formed back in 1998 and known for their high-energy performances and their residency at the Safari Lounge, the band quickly became a prominent indie force in the local music scene over the next decade. With their unique blend of ska, reggae, and rock, The WBC left an indelible mark, releasing an album and two EPs while touring Australia and Aotearoa regularly.

In 2008, they played their last show at the iconic Kings Arms Tavern, which is sadly gone. But now, the wait is over, and the band is ready to bring their music back to their fans once again with three shows in December, 2023.
