Dolphin Friendly’s live performance quickly became an acclaimed ground-breaking phenomenon for the New Zealand live music scene, with the band relentlessly touring their jaw dropping show of hard Rock N’ Roll antics, allowing them to quickly climb the ladder to gaining status as being one of the best emerging rock acts of New Zealand.
Within two years of the bands inception, they have charged the New Zealand music scene aggressively, having played some genuine feats such as Bay Dreams, Rhythm and Vines, Electric Avenue, Soundsplash, and opening for Kiwi and Aussie thumpers Shapeshifter, Lime Cordiale, Skegss, Bootleg Rascal, Jungle Giants, L.A.B and Mako Road.
Currently one of the most active NZ hip hop artists on the live circuit, ‘The Underground King’ aka Big Sima is no stranger to the big stage. During his come-up he has played support for everyone from Busta Rhymes to Bone Thugs’n’Harmony, Guru (Gangstarr), Mobb Deep and Cypress Hill. His stage presence and overall performance acumen can only be matched by the sonic value of the beat-bumping, bass-box booming mixes courtesy of longtime friend and fellow collaborator Tiki Taane.
The last two years have been exceptionally busy on the live front; with guest appearances on stage with both Summerthieves and Dolphin Friendly, as well a special bucket list performance of ‘Revolutionaires’ alongside Tiki Taane and the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra at the town hall for ‘Otautahi Proud.’ As well as those notable guest appearances, Big Sima also started picking up momentum on the festival circuit with performances at Go Live, Summer Sounds and Soundsplash.
Big Sima is back in 2022 with a new album & a new band, but the team, the dream and the work ethic still remains the same, expect big things!
