History

Kerretta Music Kerretta

Kerretta formed in mid-2005, combining members of Avotor (H.Walker), Meterman (William Waters) and David Holmes who was producing records for the likes of Jakob (band), and An Emerald City . Their first release was in December 2007, with the release of the Death In The Future/Wisnierska on 7" through Midium Records after playing at various shows throughout New Zealand where an unexpected amount of enthusiasm from New Zealand college radio amounted from this first single.

In 2009 They released their self-produced debut album, Vilayer, through German label Golden Antenna (home to Maserati (band)), which it was nominated for the Taite Music Prize in 2010, the New Zealand's equivalent to the Mercury Prize, as well as supported Post Rock outfit from Japan Mono (Japanese band).
