In the early 2000’s, Elemeno P erupted onto the New Zealand rock scene with their energetic, power-pop anthems and devil-may-care attitude. Smash hits like Verona, Every Day’s a Saturday, Fast Times in Tahoe, and 11.57 quickly cemented their place as one of the nation’s most beloved bands.
Their debut album, Love & Disrespect (2003), shot to #1 on the NZ album charts, achieving triple-platinum status. Two more albums followed, earning Platinum and Gold certifications, and solidifying their legacy. Along the way, Elemeno P took home Best Group at the NZ Music Awards and received a prestigious APRA Silver Scrolls finalist nod for their 2008 hit Baby Come On.
Fronted by the charismatic Dave Gibson, alongside Scotty Pearson, Justyn Pilbrow, and Lani Purkis, Elemeno P’s influence on Kiwi rock remains undeniable. Following their triumphant return to touring in 2023/2024, the band continues to captivate audiences with their timeless anthems and infectious energy as they gear up for more in 2025.
