The one I've heard the most about was called the "Maori Volcanics", I think they did a reform/tour a couple of years ago. I think you may be disappointed by the style of music they play though.... I'm guessing slightly R&B tinted Easy Listening Pop with some Maori/Polynesian touches? There was supposed to be a Maori Showband exhibit at the Tepapa Museum and a special website for it? I've found a few images on the Tepapa Museum site but no articles or exhibit notes.
