Biography
All-girl mid 80’s Flying Nun Records outfit featuring Wendy Kjestrup, Jenny Renals, Donna Savage, Robyn Tearle, Elizabeth Leyland and Gill Moon. I picked up the EP (their sole New Zealand release) recently and was surprised by the almost amateur approach of their musicianship.
Though full of songs, they seem to have had a loose, unfocused style of playing – which featured synth textures over top of the usual guitar and drums approach.
They eventually relocated to England and released a far more acclaimed, and apparently quite excellent follow up EP Arriving Late In Torn And Filthy Jeans and the 1990 album All Hail The Daffodil.
