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

The Shallows were a short-lived Christchurch trio fronted by Roy Montgomery in 1985. Backed by Mick Elborado (bass) and Mary Heney (guitar / vocals) the trio recorded and self-released a sole 7" single over a couple weeks in May, 1985. The single was the result of a $750 government arts grant - the group laid out their exact expenses on the inside sleeve of the single.
