Duane - don't think 'noise' music ever has to be 'completely out of control' to 'work' - sometimes it requires precision, concentration, refinement, instead. Don't think the Dead C and their ilk are necessarily aiming for psuedo-punk amp-smashing 'rebellion', more an overwhelming, total mind/body bliss out like Phil Niblock, who you wouldn't expect to conclude his set with some tired old destructive act (see also that old cliche about Merzbow equalling 'trance' music.)

― Andrew L, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Odd but common thread to all above answers from non-NZers is near complete absence of bands that were actually popular, on the radio, and sold records in NZ, vs. obscure knowledge of Dead C, Roy Montgomery etc, acts average NZer has NEVER HEARD OF, EVER. Testament o'course to Flying Nun's (and others') marketing chops in exporting their stuff to music geeks worldwide vs. popular bands here never amounting to shoop elsewhere. (Biggest NZ band in NZ over past two decades = Exponents, power-pop disguised as pub rock, fronted by legendary drunk.)

― AP, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

This is totally true. I had this golden image of NZ as a paradisical place where everyone sat around making free noise' and listening to A Handful Of Dust. Alas (tho; not alas for people who live there) this is not the case.

I did have the It's Bigger Than Both Of Us comp of NZ punk - I still do have it somewhere probably - which had "Tally Ho!" on it which I liked a lot but forget who it was by.

Funny, here in Oz, we have this image of NZ as a parasidical place where veryone sits around trying to figure out how to get to Bondi. Though it's no worse than us oz'sters trying to figure out how to go anywhere but hree I guess.

― Geoff, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

AP - I did read somewhere that abt a year or so ago the Dead C appeared on a NZ tv show called 'Ground Zero' - did this do nothing to raise their profile?

― Andrew L, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

oz'sters trying to figure out how to go anywhere but hree I guess

but why does that anywhere else always seem to be clapham/wandsworth?

― gareth, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Tom: "Tally Ho" = the Clean. Yet another faboo Flying Nun alum. Strum-happy VU idolatry without the shades & attitude. Fun, fun, fun. Compilation is the place to start. Members of the Clean can be found in the Bats & 95 other Flying Nun bands.

See also: David Kilgour's solo work. His album (w/ the Heavy Eights, I believe) is wonderful. And he should have a new album coming soon (along w/ a new Clean album, both available via Merge Records in the US of A).

I was always under the impression that Garageland (radio-friendly & popular, in relation to other FN bands - supposedly Pixie-esque to a fault) was horribly blah. Am I wrong? (I've only heard one song of theirs off a - surprise! - Pixies tribute.)

― David Raposa, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

If I went into everything I liked from NZ (and thanks for the link, Richard!) I'd be here for a while. Suffice to say I have a lot of time for people like Alastair Galbraith, Robert Scott, Chris Knox, Kim Pieters, Roy Montgomery, Sandra Bell, Graeme Downes...

― Ned Raggett, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Andrew L. - re: Gordons/the c./"noise" - maybe i should've put a little smiley guy lying on his side after "pussies....nothin even gets stomped".
but yeah maybe (MAYBE) "a guy beating a electric gtr 'til it goes out of tune = this music is about chaos & violence" is facile & reductive..."shit got smashed up so it *really rocked man*" isn't tho' surely, jeez. whatever i actually think of those ideas tho', would i still class the Dead C. as a lightweight act compared to the Gordons , of course, nobody who'd seen both wouldn't. ( Bailter Space - not saying they're not sometimes good - but don't think you can even imagine what the Gordons were like from that)
They (Gordons/Dead C friends & relations) probably weren't trying to do the same thing , anyway, yeah....altho' i've seen the C. doing a terrible "noise anarchy punk rock" set where they...well they stopped short of *stage diving* but y'know what i'm saying...they were supporting Sonic Youth & totally pandering to the teen grunge audience that would never come & see them at a art gallery in Pt. Chalmers...that's what i was thinking about when i made that cheap crack. the "noise" genre is a red herring anyway (not that this has anything to do with Gordon & his mates, only the pub owner or yr dad called it that then anyway) - as 1 NZ "noise" guy, actually it was that guy from the library with the beard, said, it's *noise* when you don't wanna hear it, when you do it's *music*.
Actual NZ chart music - didn't "How Bizarre" by OMC break internationally a few years ago? that was probably the only one tho' (that anyone anywhere else'd know)....the follow-up "ON the Run" was great & i got to read Chuck Eddy, y'know a *American* talking about it before i ever heard it on the radio here myself. which was funny.
Garageland - yeah they're the *WORST*, can someone else trash late era Flying Nun tho', i'm burned on the subj.

― duane zarakov, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

'Coalminers Song' by the Gordons. 'Big Fat Elvis' by, I think, Bored Games (Shane Carter, who went on to form Straightjacket Fits early band). Both fantastic old NZ tunes.

AK79 is a patchy, but sometimes brilliant compilation of Auckland punk. And that reminds me - Toy Love by Toy Love.

Recently an Auckland label Kog Transmissions have been putting out some impressive dance stuff, Pitch Black, Concord Dawn.

― david in NZ, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

the best thing about ak 79 is brendan perry/ronnie recent doing an impression of green day, 15 years before green day. garageland are dull dull dull, they sound american. graeme downes would have to be at the top of the list of guys who have everything one needs to be worshipped but toil in obscurity. i normally hate guys who sing until their spleen bursts but his explosions were always so elegant. the new dimmer album is horrid! shayne carter does prince or something. daddy's highway isn't the only good bats record, all of them are fine records, sure they are very nearly all the same but robert scott has a way with a tune. roy montgomery is absolutely untouchable since resurfacing. alastair galbraith is beautiful except when he is wanking with bruce russel. cloudboy is the only current nz band i like, flying nun's foray into metal with hdu and d4 is laughable. but the ghost club, david mitchell and denise roughan(they have a lovely single from years ago), record might be interesting.

― keith, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Andrew L -- Ground Zero was yer basic yoof TV w/ zany hosts, Friday night live, showing music clips, plus live bands and interviews in studio. Lasted about six months. Far as I could guess, Dead C's appearance raised their profile less than one iota. (And I did actually see it.)

― AP, Thursday, 7 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Ground Zero has migrated and can now be found on OZ TV, friday nights, around 13.30, 12 pm on Channel 10 - you guys have this vortex hole that sucks straight through to ur free-to-air TV, don't you?

Sticky Filth, Fuck Off Cuntface, that band with Dane in and the guy wearing the Slayer T-shirt headbanging and the girl with the belt of bullets and the Pink Floyd samples, The Rainy Days, Celia Patel attempting to be a torch singer in the Frisbee practise room when she brought her own lamp to shine on herself, Snapper, The Jewl of Bessamoochu the first time they played but not the second time when they repeated the exact same spontaneous chatter between songs, Lil Stevie McCabe, all doomed to Eternal Recurrence.

― Maryann, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

Re: Garageland -- they're fun. You mock without cause. ;-) Though like eighteen million other bands perhaps they need to rip out the IV injecting _Surfer Rosa_ into their veins.

--*not split enz* or *crowded house* puking dont dream its over over dental waiting room subconscious volume everytime im trying to avoid that kind of thing by supermarket shopping in the early hours... nor split enz who still (i just worked out that maybe shark attack was an ego player jam about the almighty streetness of the FINN bros)... bug me.. even while rehearsing in the middle of hollywood... cos some cover bands practising their set and their set is only split enz covers... i wanted to ask them why?... and is it for love (pathetic), money (funny)or selfloathing (mirror)... and didnt they know they were americans (why not styx ?).. but i was already listening to six months in a leaky boat...

― dan, Friday, 8 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

God, I just love the fact that some of my favourite music in the world is so un-hip. I had no idea. Seems as if I've always had blinders on when it came to the Finns - primarily Neil, who I think has a "hardworking" genius for melody and evocative image, a genius visibly marred by human flaws, but genius nonetheless, and Tim was deemed to have a certain melodrama based entertainment value that kept him interesting from time to time. It changes nothing though - it was primarily evaluated in isolation, no one talks to me about 'my kind of music' *ever*, and damn it if I don't just like what I like.

ummm /rant

― Kim, Saturday, 9 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

so much NZ music is so horrible but no band has such wondorous rock imbedded in every pore as The Datsuns, they are wonderful...and what about all the great wildside bands, early Head like a Hole, pumpkinhead etc etc?

― gracie C Russlyn, Tuesday, 12 June 2001 00:00 (twenty-five years ago)

My five fav bands are: Riot III - The First Fifteen - Fishschool - Axlegrinders - Stepford Five - Snort - The Quakers - Flesh De-Vice - Vas Deferens. Musician's who really inspired me, Jessica Walker - Chris Plumer - Samantha Swan,Punk Diva. Eugend from Flesh De-Vice - Dragon and Steve from Vas Deferens. Celia Patel - All the gurls in Stepford Five and Snort and Red-Rag and Barbaric Bunnies.

― dottee doeswell, Thursday, 9 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Search: Aspen "Are you that retail snob?" and "Music from passing Cars" Gordons First Album (the best record ever made in this country)...all the Bailter Space stuff from Tanker thru to Vortura...then they started to sound like lame USA indie, the first two Dimmer singles, some of the early FN stuff still sounds good, the 4 track era Tall Dwarfs still sounds odd but Knox has been increasingly pandering to his audience for some time now, King Loser were a great live band but the records are patchy, Rainy Days were good and then I lost interest....

Destroy: pretty much all FN stuff post 1990, all the KOG stuff ( wow we can make dance music just as crappy as the rest of the world can)NZ music in general has become increasingly influenced by overseas trends and very little seems to be interesting. Their seems to be more interest in copying genres (rap-metal bands popular, lame Californian punk etc) than developing an original voice. Garageland/Zed/Stellar*/HDU/etc anyone.And as David Cohen said "Neil Finn is about as exciting as porridge"...

― David, Friday, 10 August 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Surprised at no mention of the Skeptics...if you can get past the singers' mannerisms the music is great (Skeptics 3 and Amalgum), ditto for the first Headless chickens mini LP. As a general rule in NZ music any band from Auckland is shit (in this country bands move to AK to "make it"), any band from Palmerston North is stuck in the 80s, any band from Wellington is kidding themselves, any band from Christchurch thinks they are better than any other band in NZ and any band from Dunedin is too busy masturbating to notice anyone else. Hope this clears things up.

STICKY FILTH, THE WARNERS, TOY LOVE,SPELLING MISTAKES- NO ONE ELSE MATTERS-FLYING NUN IS BOOOORING

― Stacey Winteringham, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

It's been nearly ten years since Flying Nun put out anything remotely classic. But the stuff I still listen to from that early period:

Bats - any of their recordings up to and including The Law of Things.

Chills - Heavenly Pop Hits and most of Brave Words

3Ds - Hellzapoppin'

Pretty much the entire of the Getting Older and Tuatara compilations.

Look Blue Go Purple - everything

Chug - Sassafras

Straitjacket Fits - Melt

The Verlaines - Bird Dog (my fave NZ LP ever)

The Clean - evereeeething. especially At The Bottom (that guitar sound!!!!!)

I'm sure there are heaps more but I'm sleepy..

Destroy: Garageland, most FN releases post Garageland (exception: The Subliminals first EP, released a couple of years ago)

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Forgot: Double Happy's Other's Way, BailterSpace's Vortura, a lot of the early Tall Dwarfs stuff.

As for non-FN, Roy Montgomery is my fave. I adore it when he sings, too. Dead C have their moments, but I'd be hard pressed to say I actually like them all that much.

― electric sound of jim, Tuesday, 15 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

No one has mentioned the band Jean Paul Sartre Experience. Phantastic psychedelia. Another band missing are the Able Tasmans. Their music is something like naive (almost all NZ bands sound young and fresh) art rock.

I had a Puddle record (single? album? can't remember) and I remember it being really shithouse..

― electric sound of jim, Monday, 21 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

the Puddle were choice, George H . is one of the greatest unsung heroes of NZ rock'n'roll - man i wish he would come out of retirement. I saw him walking down the NE Valley the other day with his dog & he had shaved his head, he looked all freaky & satanic.

― duane, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Which Able Tasmans CD do you like, Alex? I'd never heard of them before yesterday, when I borrowed "Store in a Cool Place". It isn't even listed on AMG. It's dated 1996. Is that past their prime? AMG shows nothing after '93, except for a comp from 2000. I haven't had a chance to give it a good listen yet. (The sucker's LONG.) What I've heard is noisier and looser than I expected.

As long as this thread's being revived.....Search: Renderers "A Dream of the Sea" from 1999.

― Curt, Thursday, 24 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Curt, the only Able Tasmans CD I happen to own is actually "Store in a Cool Place". Nevertheless it is not my favourite. I have a tape from 1988(?) with "A Cuppa Tea and Lie Down" which was one of their first albums. It sounds more natural and I prefer it a lot. Quite melodic with a little folk rock touch. collating bones, a kind of mini-review site, writes on four of their albums.

― alex in mainhattan, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Duane - that's fantastic - I will.

― Alasdair, Friday, 25 January 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

― James Guthrie, Thursday, 21 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Ned,

Good luck finding much worth buying in New Zealand. I certainly didn't have much luck when I was there.

I did, however, get a very funny Dead C story. I wound up dropping off a hitchhiker at a friend's house and began talking with a person there. (In Christchurch, as I recall.) Anyway, I mentioned that I felt like I'd do okay meeting people if I moved there or something, because I have specific interests, like New Zealand music ... like the Dead C. ...

her eyes lit up, and she took me next door. Next door was a musician and recording engineer. He was not in the Dead C. Nor was he related to the Dead C. in any way. However, he had a Dead C. record that he couldn't get rid of, and both of them were absolutely delighted that an American had come all the way from Texas to take the Dead C. CD in question off their hands.

They were so delighted I couldn't bear to tell them that the CD, TRAPDOOR FUCKING EXIT, was one of the only Dead C. CDs I had at the time. I wound up giving it to the radio station when I got home. I think they also gave me a copy of Pieters/Russell/Stapleton's LAST GLASS, which I also already had.

On the other hand, I got to see Fence and Sandoz Lab Technicians at a club Alastair Galbraith runs in Dunedin (the Arc), and I went to the museum Michael Morley works at there as well.

Search: Omit, instrumental Roy Montgomery, Alastair Galbraith, Dead C., Doramaar, Surface of the Earth, Chris Knox, Tall Dwarfs, some Peter Jefferies.

Destroy: Flies Inside The Sun, and the Bilders records don't do much for me.

forgetting a bunch.

― doug, Thursday, 21 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Alastair Galbraith never ran the arc. He did run Everything Inc which was over the road. Lots of the Builders records are great but perhaps you heard the dodgy Wellington ones.

― hamish, Thursday, 21 February 2002 01:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Sorry, [email protected], but the Clean Getaway belongs in the DESTROY column. David Kilgour's new album, however, after initially disappointing me, is growing better with each listen.

Jesus fuck! What a goldmine. Not yet mentioned but honest, and possibly only understandable to the most blindedly patriotic Kiwi, but "Songs from the Front Lawn" - Front Lawn and "Salty" - Muttonbirds are wonderful. "Kaleidoscope World" -Chills is a fantastic collection, and "Higher" EP by HDU always perks me up when I've collapsed. Oh shit, New Zealand's never been an albums place, and I'm trying so hard to look credible - um...the first Dribbling Darts of Love album...the Rip...Stones...Hi-tone Destroyers. Nah, screw it "Woodface" was pretty good eh? -except for Chocolate Cake.

These guys! From my 2008 Voice review, when they were coming to NYC:

..."Blue Skies" is the last stop on Die! Die! Die!'s second album, Promises, Promises. The Steve Albini–recorded, self-titled 2006 debut's flying shards of impulsive/compulsive encounters were caught by walls thrown up, tracks tightened till they imploded: 10 songs, in just over 20 minutes. But now, all through this Shayne (of Straitjacket Fits) Carter–produced set, walls are pushed out as inner space-junk expands; shards reappear as pieces of Andrew Wilson's personal blue skies, of old hopes and dreams. Breathing room is found, yes, though his shattered, scattered voice and guitar can't help planting some bizarre memory garden of l-o-v-e and more, despite it all. The eloquent guts of Lachlan Anderson's bass will never digest such seeds very easily, and drummer Michael Prain's Keith Moon-schooled soloing-as-accompaniment dents craters in today's glazed maze, where Wilson and "You!" grapple in reflective gear.
Die! Die! Die! play the Music Hall of Williamsburg March 29 and Highline Ballroom March 30.
