Biography
The Fisher brothers' parents are musicians from New Zealand. While on tour, they decided to relocate the family from Papakura in Auckland to Perth, Western Australia.[1][2] The family's roots are in Tauranga and Northland, and are of Te Aupōuri, Ngāpuhi and Ngāi Te Rangi descent.[3][4]
The brothers formed as a musical act in 2016,[2] and prior to this had worked on a number of different music projects, including Tastemakers, an online series where the brothers collaborated with Western Australian artists.[5] The band released their first single "Where We Began" in 2019,[6] and focused their early career on the local Perth music scene.[2] The group released their first single under major label Island Records Australia in 2020,[2] parting with the label in 2021 and releasing the single "Good Morning" independently.[7] In late 2021 and 2022, Coterie toured Australia with New Zealand band Six60.[8]
In 2022 the band had their first hit single in New Zealand with the song "Cool It Down",[9] which was certified double platinum in New Zealand.[10] The band released a Māori language version of the song,[11] a week prior to Te Wiki o te Reo Māori.
On the 9th of December, 2022, the band released their first studio album, a self-titled 13-track release. The CD release features a bonus 14th track, the previously released Māori language version of "Cool It Down", titled "Purea".
