Goldenhorse

Goldenhorse is a pop and folk-pop band from New Zealand. The group was formed in 1999 by lead vocalist Kirsten Morrell and guitarist Geoff Maddock, who brought in Joel Wilton and Ben King from other projects to found the initial lineup. Goldenhorse found success in 2002 with their debut album Riverhead, a slow-burner on the charts which peaked at number 1 in 2004, and went triple platinum.

The albums spawned charting singles including "Maybe Tomorrow" which became the most played local song on radio in 2003, "Wake Up Brother", and "Out of the Moon".

It was also a finalist in the 2003 Australasian Performing Rights Association's Silver Scroll Awards, among other award nominations. In 2007 following a European tour, the band released Reporter, their final album to date, which briefly entered the top 40 charts at 38.
