Shapeshifter Live was recorded on 29th September 2006 at the Christchurch Town Hall – the final show of their orchestra tour and in the band's hometown – with all the strings on the tracks arranged by Victoria Kelly and performed with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Marc Taddei.

Shapeshifter Live is an exciting new album which encapsulates the essence, energy and vitality of NZ's top live act, and features hits from all three of their studio albums, including When I Return, Tapestry and Bring Change.

These shows sold out well in advance and the fusion between the orchestras and Shapeshifter created an electric atmosphere, which thousands of lucky punters eagerly lapped up.

The recording on the night was captured by Andre Upston and then mixed by longtime Shapeshifter associate/soundman and Salmonella Dub frontman, Tiki Taane, Shapeshifter's Sam Trevethick and Andre Upston.

The System Is A Vampire captures the essence, energy and vitality of one of our most exciting groups across eleven killer tracks, each highlighting Shapeshifter's unique blend of heavy soul with drum & bass.
