Excellent Christchurch shoegaze / electronic group with a unique, spacey sound. Released an EP and 2 7" lathe cut singles on the Beat Atlas imprint in the late 1990's before going their seperate ways. #nzmusic #barnardsstar

The Christchurch Media Club was a large building on Armagh Street, next to the notoriously seedy Centennial Pool. Broken up in to several parts – It had a mid-sized hall with hard-wood floors, a large performing stage and bar (used mostly for Media Club patrons, housing pool tables, darts etc), the smaller ‘Winter Garden’ ballroom where most live performances occurred – which was carpeted and decked out in ornate ceiling alcoves, plus a hallway, toilets and a small kitchen.
