Sam has been part of The Rainfall since day one, helping shape the band’s identity, creating our music videos and album artwork, and backing us on tour.

But long before that, he’s been part of the Christchurch music scene.

Since 2004, Sam has played in local bands across indie, emo, post-hardcore and metalcore — on guitar, bass and synth — singing and screaming his way across stages for over two decades.

Now he officially joins The Rainfall on bass.

He brings experience. He brings musicianship. And he brings the creative drive that’s already helped build the world around this band.

Welcome to the Rainfall, Sam!

After three years in The Rainfall, Makka has decided to step away and focus on life outside the band. 

His dedication to his instrument, his infectious sense of humour, and his angel-like harmonies… (if you’ve seen us live, you know) have had a lasting impact on The Rainfall and everyone who’s supported us. Simply put, Makka has been foundational to this band from the very beginning. 

Thank you, Makka. We love you and we’re going to miss you!
