Tahiti 80 whip up a danceable mix of live instrumentation and electronic sounds filled with breezy melodies and intoxicating grooves. The band's debut album, Puzzle, was released byMinty Fresh in the U.S. in 1999, and was critically acclaimed as a refreshingly upbeat nod to late 60s West Coast pop (particularly the Beach Boys).

The band has been relentlessly productive ever since, having released an astounding ten EP's and The Past, The Present & The Possible marking their sixth full-length album. Click HERE to Watch the "Darlin Video if You Didn't Catch the Premiere at AOL's Spinner
