"Multicultural HERBS ready to go back to their roots." Tu Tangata 4 (Feb./Mar. 1982): 10-11.
Kereama Reid gives an overview of the reggae band HERBS and looks at their difficulties in finding gigs supposedly because their music ‘appeals to a smaller crowd’ but in essence because hotel managers ‘don’t want a Polynesian band playing in a pub and drawing a Polynesian crowd’. Reid also writes of their strong ethos about control of the band being ‘kept within the group’ and their desire to find their roots and tour the Islands.
