The Rip

Legendary New Zealand underground musician Alastair Galbraith's first band. Flanked by Robbie Muir and Jeff Harford they put out 2 extremely hard to find EP's in the mid 80s that show-case Galbraith's brilliant talent for song-writing at an early age, particularly on their second EP - 'Stormed Port'. #nzmusic #undergroundmusic #therip #alastairgalbraith #flyingnun

A Handful Of Dust

One of Bruce Russell's (Dead C) and Alastair Galbraith's darkest outfits, often dealing with distinct imagery and motif's in their music and especially pronounced in their liner notes (most of which are distributed through Russell's Corpus Hermeticum label). Formed by the duo in Dunedin in 1984, and primarily a free noise group. Though primarily a duo, Peter Stapleton had been a regular contributor from 1993 until his passing in March 2020.
