The Rickshaws

The Rickshaws owe the completion of their line-up to an ad placed at the Rockshop on Auckland's K-Road; 'desperately seeking singer'. Enter, Rita Steel and the five-piece punk rock funksters were ready to roll, releasing their first EP in 2007. Debut single 'So Free' produced by Chazz Hill-Hayr (The Rabble), followed. In a titular riff the band describe themselves as "quite literally a vehicle of human strength".
