Snort

Hugely popular Christchurch hard-rock all-girl group with a very 90's riotgrrrl sound and a line-up that changed quite a bit over time. Members have included: Reta Le Quesne, twins Joanne and Sharon Billesdon, Lisa Preston, Fleur Walden Ninakaye Taane-Tinorau and Carla Rotta . They recorded 2 singles, then had an album and a music video held back by Festival Records in nefarious circumstances. #nzmusic #snort
