New Zealander here, I don't listen to a single artist from here.

theres like 8,000 people who live there. and a lot of them are hobbits from what I understand

fun is illegal in nz

Tell that to my Maori neighbours, and ask them to please turn their music down

>what is Flying Nun Records

Cuz it's a fucking shithole.

>nu-zealand

Rocket Power went to New Zealand

Same here, its absolutely disgusting the amount of dog-shit artists that promote their awful shit

Connan Mockasin my lads. Prob the biggest influence in today’s indie rock

This is now an Australian musicians thread

we've got chris knox, the crown jewel of new zealand music

>doesn't know about Dunedin Sound and Flying Nun records
How could anyone ever take someone like you seriously?

the naked and famous are alright

i like these, I need to look more for stuff that isn't indie guitar bullshit

you mean the same boring, unshifting sound since the early 80s, whose entire charm is that it's lazy simple? Wew, fabulous. Some of it's ok though

no

you don't actually like this shit

he's good

Aren't these guys from NZ? They're alright.

dont know m8 it's really bizarre
how bizarre
how bizarre

it begins and ends here youtube.com/watch?v=t_WmsRKoeRw

righto

fucking

how do I stop being miserable fellas, or am I fucked

Get a job, new clothes, new haircut and get a tinder

Princess Chelsea is pretty dope

I like Mali Mali and Daniel Johann/Salvia Palth. Plus I've been writing music and I like my own music. I think there is musical talent here but there's just no music scene to encourage it or bring it to light. It sucks. Basically it's

if you're going to have any chance of being appreciated as an indie musician in nz, is dunedin the place to be?
i have some family there so it would suit.

The music scene in Auckland and Wellington is complete trash. I don't think i've ever seen any local band that's even close to decent.

youtube.com/watch?v=Chcy9K6ywjA

these guys are from NZ

it's just one guy. he's from my home town and i knew some of his friends in high school lol.

why does she look attractive yet unattractive at the same time

piss

shit

What's funny is that NZ comedy is pretty good. I mean it's fairly derivative of British humor but there's still some good stuff coming out of nzed in that realm

OMC is actually pretty tight but people only ever know em for How Bizarre and call them a one hit wonder which is insulting to how good every song on that album is. Also the Finn brothers. Also when I was more into metalcore, Antagonist AD from there actually kicked ass and I'd probably still appreciate them now compared to some acts in that genre.

Tall Dwarfs is the shit yo
youtube.com/watch?v=8ppgl9sJUys

the only band I know of from NZ.
youtube.com/watch?v=uQlHHEde-ho

not even good death metal, sorry

I think they're pretty great

who is
dragon
split enz
shapeshifter
fat freddy's drop
upbeats
some other fags idk lol

80s was probably most relevant era for nz, "specialised" after that.

idk

When I think of Split Enz I think of Sam Neil in his demented roles, ie Possession.

Its a shame punk broke just as they were warming up overseas, so many genius moments in their songs

nice digits

oh except for this -

youtube.com/watch?v=tejIFckD0Zs

best live album by an nz artist, I hears this on the radio about 15 years ago when it first dropped and they had an interview from the boys on top of it. This is the absolute balls, the supreme chill out and smoke out live set for all kiwis circa 2000. Enjoy

roy montgomery is really really good. Well Oiled is a classic

Shocking Pinks
Kimbra
Ladyhawke
Unknown Mortal Orchestra

new zelend in terms of most things is the best place to live on paper.
they don't need home grown music.

OP btfo. will he ever recover?

>t. doesnt live here and watched lord of the rings once

kys kiwiboo

nothing to do with film. i have a few relatives that live there (i'm from the uk), and it is basically like where I live but better in most ways.

are you kidding? ive been to awesome gigs in both cities. you probably just stand in the back folding your arms at every gig you go to and dont go to small local gigs.

she's on the fence, it all depends whether you're up or down

youtu.be/29IY2ttRUSM

apparently it depends if you wear glasses for severe sight deficiencies because that thing is straight ugly

it's alright buddy, one day you'll get it

youtube.com/watch?v=HGfsf-d1aDc

80's kino here
youtube.com/watch?v=M0pWejAnLUQ

You don't live here. It really isn't better in any way

My ex moved to New Zealand with some random guy she met on Tinder after 3 months of meeting him so I hope that shithole gets nuked

>I hope that shithole gets nuked
why would we ever get nuked lmao
