The Steffan Van Soest Hit Machine

Excellent quirky Christchurch rock group who formed in the late 1990's, had an incredibly prolific few years with 4 albums, an album and a single released in quick succession. The group then transitioned into an occasional reunion outfit, with several of the key members now living out of town or overseas. Led by their namesake (and only consistent member) the band have had many offshoot groups. #nzmusic #steffanvansoesthitmachine
