Meth Drinker is p gud
>>63533737
someone already made the joke faggot
Shocking Pinks and Die! Die! Die! are pretty cool.
Tall Dwarfs and Roy Montgomery are the only ones that come to mind.
Everyone still makes shitty indie music like it's the 80s. We're very small-minded people desu
>>63533494
Field recordings of sheep
Fat Freddy's drop
Jakob
Shihad

Roy Montgomery is pretty based
>>63534289
Do you actually like this shit? Are you sure you're not just being like pic related?
Tame impala
Pond
The list goles on
>>63534379
I don't really like Shihad that much but fat Freddy's and Jacob are sweet.
BUT YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO CUUUUUT ME OOOOOOOFF

We really don't have a lot going on
Mostly shitty pretentious indie bands waiting for their time that will never come. I played in one in Dunedin for many years. Lots of dead beat stoners love that scene. Now I'm a software engineer making good bucks, don't wanna go back.
A lot of Shlohmo impersonators in Wellington
Haven't been to Auckland.
We're an underwhelming country, what more can I say? A lot of people just don't care about fame and "cutting edge" entertainment, it's hard to explain how this country works
Lorde was basically just a manufactured sensation anyway, it wasn't grass roots over night success like people think lol, it's all marketing stunts senpai
>>63533494
Though he immigrated to Australia in the mid '80s.

Any of you think ACL was good?

Check out Host Club on Bandcamp
Bailter Space, awesome 90s indie rock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxbSkmpZ2kg

You sound like a bizarro north island version of me right to the job about working in IT. Auckland was big on shoegaze when i was a student. now its trap music and esoteric london electronic music like burial and mt kimbie.
>>63534289
i only came to say JAKOB
and Kerretta
New Zealand is like the country equivalent of being in a Pavement song. I don't know what about it produces goofy indie rock, maybe the water.

>>63533554
This song is god tier. Not even joking 2bh.
Oh, I guess no one likes heavenly pop hits.
>>63534799
>underwhelming country
Do you mean just musically? You guys are incredible at Rugby Union, Cricket and sport in general.
Russell Crowe used to play around Auckland as Russ le Roux. He's a NZr to me since he has no ozzie passport m8

>>63535802
nah bro, you gotta live here to really experience the mediocrity
>>63535824
Ausfag here. I love Russell. It annoys me how our media likes to claim them as our own when they're clearly not. Same goes for fantastic actors like Sam Neil.
>>63535830
Why don't you move to Australia? It's pretty amazing here 2bh.
>>63535838
I lived in NZ for 2 years on and off, most of my friends who were there moved to Oz, other friends from here in the UK moved direct to Oz and I came back to England as I'm going the other direction anyway.
tl;dr - Oz > Nz for sure
>>63535830
you know fuck all. once you've lived life in the expensive as fuck rat race like london or paris you'll learn to appreciate the peace and quietness of New Zealand
>>63535849
Oh so you're in the UK right now? Good on you man. I'd like to visit NZ one day for a holiday but I don't think it's living material.

Yeah, tried to move to NZ twice but I just couldn't get with it, it just wouldn't click.
>>63533494
>>63535870
You plan on moving ever again or trying to stick to the UK? If I was going to move to the UK it'd probably be Ireland or Scotland.

Oh yes, I fucking detest this shitty country and its fucked up tossers in government and its grey, miserable, boring ass shitty existence with its disgusting oceans, shitty weather and generally all over mediocre existence.
I'm moving to the Turks & Caicos Islands in about 3 months, its been the plan for about 9 months now, just takes a lot of hassle to organise. Hong Kong was my favourite country to live but since its Chinese again now its not the same and I want more time in the sea.

Good luck mate. Enjoy it.

I don't know anything about sport but yeah, our teams are world class and the money involved is lucrative
>>63536000
Yup.

the bros from this band are mean as
unknown mortal orchestra, the mint chicks, silicon, chelsea jade, minuit, the naked and famous, kimbra and tamaryn all spring to mind for NZ artists

Kimbra!

You folks should all check out her album "The Golden Echo" - it's truly quite good.
>>63536448
Unknown Mortal Orchestra have done so well, also some good metal eg Ulcerate, Meth Drinker
>>63535657
So good, turns out my local cafe owner/barista their bass player and i only found out about them when he had to close for a day to pick up an award twenty years later
>>63533494
Check out Yukon Era
>>63533510

>>63533494
Lots of classic metal and post-hardcore. Sabbat, Metalucifer, Number Girl, Tricot, and Masudore. Lots of interesting extreme metal / experimental music, too. Boris, Sigh, Midori, and Boredoms. Hell, even there's even some good trance metal, like DOLL$BOXX.
Merzbow a shit, though. The Boris / Merzbow collabs are definitely the low points of their discography. Aside from NNL, that is. *shudders*

underrated post
New zealand is the country (not counting places like puerto rico, aruba, cook islands....) that is most distant from his closest country (now counting puerto rico, aruba.......)
Wow I always imagined, new zealand being close to australia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wswFjuJPbxg
>>63537484
Saint Helena, Ascension and Tristan da Cunha is the one when you coun this kind of countries
I reckon Gin Wigmore's newest album was one of the best pop records last year. Her mum's been to my mum's store and she was pretty cool. Sounded just like Gin.
Fat Freddy's Drop, Che Fu, Six60. All Jazz, reggae and Orchestra
>>63533494
Connan Mockasin.
>>63535797
Only one mention of Dunedin Sound so far? Like the indie pop that was influential on indie pop globally in the 80s?
The Verlaines, The Chills, The Clean, Straightjacket Fits, The Bats, many more - many great bands.
Ulcerate pioneered a particular strain of Technical Death Metal (which is really fucking good)
As mentioned, Jakob are decent post-rock
Roy Montgomery is probably the best thing to have come from here. His work in Pin Group, Dadamah (This Is Not A Dream is 10/10) and Hash Jar Tempo is fantastic.
Generally our experimental/avant-garde stuff is not bad, especially our drone
The contemporary indie scene is pretty idiomatic and generic which is a shame but hey if you like it that's cool
And yeah for once our hip-hop isn't completely cringeworthy
>>63537771
Oh and there's plenty more good metal/punk/heavy shit - notably Vassafor and Diocletian
>>63537784
And Parents
>>63537771
>>63537784
>>63537796
And Truth, who have released on Deep Medi Musik, are Kiwis
New Zealand has a great noise/experimental scene:
Dead C
Roy Montgomery/Hash Jar Tempo/Dissolve/Dadamah
Dean Roberts/Thela
Birchville Cat Motel
>>63535342
kendrick was good
The Verlaines
The Mint Chicks
MINUIT
>>63533510
>>63534160
Yep. Tall Dwarfs is the fucking shit.
