Electronic breakbeat three piece Minuit ("min-wee") are receiving some stunning live reviews.
Exquisitely coy vocals and enough rhythm to move the most skeptical bar staff, these breakbeat banditos, muchachas and chicos have been flitting around the country building up their breakbeat backlog (in between backpacking and bluffing their way from Kosovo to Tokyo).
Having hooked up with Auckland independant label Tardus, a Minuit album is being mixed, mastered, mashed, trashed, and re-hashed in the hard-drive ready for a much anticipated August 2003 release.
The fourth rule of commotion states: "One must have only three cares, but not less than two." In case of deficiency, Minuit could make up your quota.
Check Minuit for a rockin'-romp-in-the-aural-hay some place soon.
