Sandra Bell is a New Zealand experimental artist from the West Coast of the South Island whose career spans cassettes, vinyl, and CD releases from 1984 to the present, gaining international recognition through releases on Xpressway, Turbulence Records, and VHF Records.
The Cartilage Family were a short-lived Dunedin group featuring Peter Gutteridge (and a bunch of his best early songs), Shayne Carter, Lesley Paris and Francisca Griffin. No official recordings exist and they only performed live twice; but the Cartilage Family were an important stepping stone for New Zealand Music.
Excellent Dunedin 4-piece with a stellar line-up. Dark, noisy guitar and driving rhythm, but sadly only a single hard-to-find album (plus a couple 7″ singles) to their name. Closely tied to Bruce Blucher concurrent band Trash.
