Queen Meanie Puss

Queen Meanie Puss were an experimental and occasionally punky 4-piece outfit from the early 90's who evolved out of the similar Angelhead, and put out a couple of quirky EP's before fragmenting. Their songs have turned up on a number of compilations over the years - including the intriguing 'Contracts' which has appeared on a couple of Flying Nun retrospectives. #nzmusic #queenmeaniepuss
