Everything about The Able Tasmans totally explained
The
Able Tasmans were an
indie band from
Auckland,
New Zealand.
At various times, the band consisted of Leslie Jonkers, Peter Keen, Graeme Humphreys, Craig Mason, Jane Dodd (previously of
The Verlaines), and Ronald Young. They formed in
1984, and named themselves after the Dutch explorer
Abel Tasman. They released four albums and two EPs on
Flying Nun Records. The band split up in
1996. Ten years later Graeme Humphreys and Peter Keen regrouped to record an album,
The Overflow, under the name of Humphreys & Keen.
The style of music played by the band could be considered as similar to the prevalent
Dunedin Sound favoured by Flying Nun during the 1980s and 1990s, and most effective when keyboards (not normally prominent in the Dunedin Sound) were to the fore, as on their early student radio hit
Snow White Chook.
Graeme Humphreys is now better known in New Zealand for his role as a radio talkback host (under the name Graeme Hill).
