History
Human Instinct is a rock band formed in New Zealand in 1966. The current lineup consists of Maurice Greer (Lead Singer/Stand-Up Drummer), Phil Pritchard (guitar), Tony Baird (Bass) and Joel Haines (guitar).
One of New Zealand’s most popular hard rock/psychedelic bands of the late 1960s and early 1970s, their cult reputation for explosive live performances is an accomplishment strengthened by the radical rock they produced on 8 albums and 30 singles across its various incarnations. Human Instinct evolved from the Four Fours, which had some hits in New Zealand in the mid-1960s. In 1966 the Four Fours supported the Rolling Stones on their New Zealand tour. Later that year, the Four Fours sailed to England to try and make an entry into the British pop scene, changing their name to the Human Instinct on the way.
