Record Labels
Prolific cassette, CDr and lathe-cut label run by Clayton Noone (aka CJA) and utilised by a fair few New Zealand (and some overseas) artists since the mid 1990s. Their first few years of releases had distinctive spray-painted covers. The original Don Lonie was billed as 'America’s No. 1 high-school assembly speaker', who recorded several albums for popular Christian record labels in the early 1960s. #nzmusic #undergroundmusic #rootdonlonieforcash

Fantastic folky lo-fi group from Dunedin from the super-prolific Clayton Noone and ex-Ho' Dogs guitarist Kaaterama Morehu - who sadly passed away in 2020. "At their best, The Strange Girls made ruminative, repetitive and atmospheric bummer folk" #nzmusic #thestrangegirls #undergorundmusic
