Look Blue Go Purple was an influential and resilient all-female indie-pop group from Dunedin during the Early-Mid 1980s. Despite facing chauvinistic attitudes, they released 3 stellar EPs on Flying Nun, with their debut 'Bewitched' reaching No. 21 on the pop chart. Their impact endures through the compilation 'Still Bewitched'. #nzmusic #lookbluegopurple

Jangly Christchurch pop from the early 1980's. The group recorded a 6 song mini-album with the intent of it being released on Flying Nun Records, however the recordings went unreleased until 2013 when it was picked up and released as a retrospective LP by German label Unwucht. The song 'Mystery' shows the group had bags of potential. #nzmusic #theworld
