Auckland satirical country and western outfit whose one album, Adrenal Glandy (Flying Nun, FN048), was recorded live in 1986 with a baked-beans-recruited audience. Featuring the young Don McGlashan performing under a pseudonym, it sold approximately 40 copies.
Blam Blam Blam was a politically-charged underground pop act with touches of post-punk guitar, intelligent lyrics and the melodic touch of Don McGlashan’s vocals and Euphonium playing on killer signature tunes like ‘There is no depression in New Zealand’ and ‘Don’t fight it Marsha (it’s bigger than the both of us)’.
The independent label that put New Zealand Music on the map. From Roger Shephard’s formation of the label in 1980 through to now, Flying Nun has been a mark of creative, quirky, inventive music with a distinct kiwi flavor.
