New Zealand Music

what awesome New Zealand bands have you found and want to share with us?

THE RABBLE... check them out

The Rabble... I nearly died in that mosh... fuck it was awesome...

Oh These Four Walls are pretty good, i meet them two years ago i think but they were cool and the singer looked like Frodo and Bam Magera together

Solomon.... lol from my school well last year anyway, They were on c4 a couple of times

with all due respect (meaning dont hit me)
i dont like NZ music as a rule
i am yet to hear a kiwi band (other than false start) which i genuinely like

Mmm a lot of NZ music sucks, but then there's also a few bands which are amazing. I don't like most of the NZ music that gets played on the radio/TV (with Goodnight Nurse and False Start being the exceptions), but there's heaps of really good smaller bands.

When I first got o NZ Iwas like "All this music blows! I want Westlife!"

Then heard Verona by Elemeno P and was like "Hmmph fine. I'll check them out." and I did. Thought they were rad.

Then got GNN's forst album for my birthday.

So Goodnight Nurse, Elemeno P and Opshop... and that's about it.

i used to love NZ music, but i kinda don't like it anymore. i guess we have good music (elemeno p!!!!) but then i kinda think some of our other music is boring (evermore = SNORE!)

I've seen Evermore twice live. Neither time was all that exciting.
and the first time I was just standing there shaking going "d.jghdkjsblkje I just saw MCR... -faints-"

lol

i saw evermore at J08 live (girl guide concert, yay)
and i spent the whole time holding my ears and repeating mcr lyrics in my head, because they are so damn annoying (evermore that is). i hate them soooooooooooo much.

Ugh I can't stand Evermore either.

Oh, Zed!!
Does anyone remember them?
I saw them live once. They were soooo awesome.

Oh I remember them!
I think they played a show in Hoki once... or Greyhole.

'Cause I tried so hard to find herrrrrrr

Streetwise Scarlet are mint...

The Datsuns, Stereogram, The Mint Chicks, The Checks and HEAPS more are awesome!

I can't stand Streetwise Scarlett, but I do love Steriogram, the Mint Chicks, Goodshirt (were they from NZ?)... and there's this other NZ band I can't think of at the moment, but they're awesome too.

So I just went and found my tape (omg a tape!) of Zed's album 'This Little Empire'. Crappy quality, but wow I just remembered how absolutely awesome they are!
I remember my favourite song of theirs used to be Firefly. And I remember when I saw them live there was this big screen thing behind them (like at Panic) and it looked awesome when they played that song. Actually, I think my dad has that on video somewhere. Hmm... I'll ask him where it is tomorrow.
