Thee Ideal Gus is a sprawling experimental collective originating from Hamilton, New Zealand, in the early 1990s. Born from the same prolific underground "gene pool" that produced acts like Pumice, Armpit, and G.Frenzy, the group is characterized by a fluid, loosely defined membership and a steadfast commitment to lo-fi, improvised, and chance-based recording.

Christchurch-based pop-group, The Insurgents were the darlings of the all-ages scene courtesy of their involvement with Will Edmonds' Out of Kilter. The original line-up of Young, Coffey and Ellis displayed a strong Brit-pop influence on Chris Young's songs, whilst Mike Ellis added an element of US Indie-Pop to proceedings. Ellis and Young have tremendous chemistry together, shaping their songs with perfect harmonies and huge hooks, whilst Coffey keeps things nice and tight.

Nick 'Harte' Hodgson's loud rock'n'roll outfit. Started life as Tony Valens and the Incisions in the mid 90's and were mostly concentrated on primal rhythms and harsh, noisy guitar flourishes - creating some absolutely brilliant sounds far outside the commercial scope of rock'n'roll.
