Swellfoot's Assembly (commonly misspelled Swellsfoot Assembly) was a brass rock band, active in 1973 or 1974, that evolved out of a band called 'Ziffel', who lost their lead singer in a car accident. The band featured Ray Thomas (electric guitar), Ken Thomas (vocals, alto saxophone), Paul Middlebrook (keyboards), Mike Abbott (drums), Mike Booth (trumpet), Carl Reinsfield (tenor saxophone), Paul Baxter (bass; later of 1953 Memorial Society Rock'N Roll Band) and Marion Arts (vocals; later of 1953 Memorial Society Rock'N Roll Band and the Red Hot Peppers).

The band played at the Hillcrest Tavern, clubs (including Granny's), University 'splurges' and concerts, and at private parties. Swellfoot's Assembly was a covers band, playing songs by Tower of Power, Chicago, Sly and The Family Stone, Family and more.

John Dix’s 1988 book on New Zealand music 'Stranded in Paradise' (and various websites) have stated the band also included Garth Porter, later of Australian group ‘Sherbet’. However, Arts has stated this is not the case.
