The Parachute Band boys spend most of their year living out of suitcases; trekking to churches and events around the globe. Musically, their sound is fresh and experimental – with pulsing drums, angular guitars and the odd synth-breakdown – but spiritually they consistently seek to usher in the presence of God wherever they go.

Frontman Omega Levine and Drummer/Producer Sam de Jong formed New Zealand’s ‘next gen’ Parachute Band in 2007, picking up from where the original Parachute Band(1996-2006) had left off. Four years on, the five-piece has toured relentlessly throughout America, Africa, Asia, and Eastern Europe.

Passionate about responding to the heartbeat of God, the band also work closely with international aid agency World Vision. They have partnered with the organisation’s Area Development Project in ‘Tubehoneza’ (a community of 45,000 in Kigali, Rwanda), helping to raise hundreds of child sponsors for the area, and promoting the project wherever they can.

Whether they are playing in stadiums or at youth group gatherings, Parachute Band continually aspire to make worship their lifestyle and outwork Isaiah 58.
