Trillionaires were a Christchurch institution through the late 1990s and 2000s. A covers band formed as a super-group of local musicians with the twin vocals of Ross Humphries and Nicole Moffat. The group were known for their eclectic covers, with each song reinterpreted in their own unique style, usually as a rollicking garage rock'n'roll number, driven by the killer guitar of Mick Elborado and the rhythm section of John Christoffels (bass) and Malcolm Grant (drums). #nzmusic #trillionaires

Celia Mancini's 'lounge band in the '80s.' A Christchurch-based group that played a variety of upmarket events with Mancini fronting a killer backing band. Unknown for many years, a recording of Bobby Hebb's 'Sonny' on the excellent 'The Celia Mancini Tapes' posthumous release in 2018. #nzmusic #celiamancini #theafterdinnermints

Excellent early Flying Nun band from Christchurch featuring 3 future Terminals (Stapleton, Elborado and Crook). Some terrific songs that build suspense and tension with galloping drums, rumbling bass and a cacophony of guitar, organ and violin.
