Blu Fish is an indie rock band from West Auckland, New Zealand. The band is composed of Cameron Mason McCurdy (vocals, drums, trumpet), Mitchell Baber (vocals, guitar) and Josh Rundle (bass guitar).

Pre-formation (2012-2017)
Mason McCurdy and Rundle had played together in high school in alternative rock band Title Pending from June 2012 to February 2018, and played many gigs alongside Baber's indie rock band The Big Gus from October 2013 to January 2016. Both bands saw relative success in the Auckland all-ages music scene, with The Big Gus becoming 2015 Smokefreerockquest finalists and Title Pending opening for bands such as The D4 and Guitar Wolf.

Formation and Shments (2018-Present)
Blu Fish formed at the University of Auckland campus bar, Shadows, on the 26th of February 2018 and were booked to play a gig before they had written any songs. The half-hour set they wrote for the Frick Yeah Festival 2018 became the songs they would use for their debut EP. The EP, Shments was produced by rapper Mr•O6OO and self-released on the 30th of November 2018 following the release of singles "The Party" on the 28th of September and "Scenic Drive" on the 31st of October. It is a concept album chronicling their youth in Titirangi with the story of a single hypothetical 2016 party in Woodlands Park. Following the release of Shments, the band won the 2018 NZ National Battle of the Bands, winning the prize of a recording session in Brisbane and a tour of New Zealand, Australia, The Phillipines, Hong Kong, and Singapore. On the 18th of January 2019, the band released "Fresher," the final single from Shments. The band is set to perform at the 2019 Titirangi Festival of Music on the 29th of March alongside SJD, where they will debut new music.
