The very first group to record on Flying Nun Records, fronted by legendary experimental guitarist Roy Montgomery. Dark and Gloomy, evocative recordings - suitably earning the nickname 'Roy Division'. #nzmusic #pingroup #flyingnunrecords #roymontgomery

Edmund Cake is the quirky alias of talented Auckland-based musician and producer Edmund McWilliams - or at least it was for his 2004 album 'Downtown Puff'. McWilliams has made his name with the brilliant trio Bressa Creeting Cake and as a producer to the likes of the Finn brothers, Anika Moa and Bic Runga. #nzmusic #edmundcake #bressacreetingcake #piewarmer #rikstarrr

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

The Gordons appeared out of (almost) nowhere in March 1980 to take the mantel of Christchurch's (and soon New Zealand's) loudest band; however they were more than just loud. It's the songs they created during their initial year and a half run that have fuelled the legend of the Gordons. Through blistering feedback and propulsive bass come visions of a dystopian future, and anti-regime anthems. #nzmusic #thegordons #bailterspace

Little Stevie McCabe has been an underground force in New Zealand music since the early 80s, playing n anarchic form of Rock'N'Roll through a variety of bands - most notably as a key member of The Axemen. However as a solo musician McCabe was hyper-productive, and when he passed away recently (September 2023) he left behind some 300 unreleased cassette recordings. #nzmusic #littlesteviemccabe #theaxemen
