Name one.
Cause most of the music is pop. Live music tonight? Expect a guy/girl playing shitty unoriginal covers of pop songs. They all sound the same and have no innovation.
Doesn't help that all the venues have been closing down in the last ten years cause nobody wants to pay to see an upcoming act. So the only way to get success is to pay for it.

>mfw NZ music scene is dominated by upper middle class indie whiteboy cucks
>mfw most bands are literally shit and are clinging on to highschool fantasies of being a rockstar
Literally everyone I know in the Dunedin and Wellington music scene is human refuse with no work ethic and absolutely no ambition to be creative, instead they emulate trends they find on the internet

The originality is a big big problem. The only bands I know of that actually sound unique worldwide are the original Dunedin Sound group, Ulcerate and Mice on Stilts. For a country like ours, that's fucking nothing. Even Australia has shit loads of globally unique bands.
So many bands are happy with being "NZ's version of X" and because that's enough to get them NZ on Air funding and radio play they don't strive for more.

you owe me so much

Battle Circus could have been a legendary band if they hadn't broke up. Their first two albums were decent compositionally but way way way too similar to Muse. With more uniqueness they could have been great.

This band is the epitome of NZ's bullshit "it's from NZ therefore it must be good" complex. I constantly see this being mentioned in foreign sites along the lines of "I don't know why these guys are famous they do nothing special", and it's all because the NZ media shills them so hard simply because they're from NZ
>>64760514
They're good though
>>64759418
Commit pooicide
I know you are there Daniel
>>64760651
They really aren't. Flat as fuck sludge metal that is done by 30 or 40 bands better and more powerful. Their songwriting is equivalent to that of a post-grunge band, and their ""riff power"" is topped by plenty of bands in the same style
>>64760422
Oh what I keep hearing these guys being plugged on bfm, here I was thinking they were some interesting indie rock band but it turns out they're more akin to westie trash
Noone likes the mint chicks?
>>64760945
>they're being plugged on bfm
This is exactly what I mean by >>64760514. Shit band by the rest of the world's standards, but because they're from NZ the media shills them so fucking hard. Happens all the time. It's also massively ironic that the only genuinely unique metal band from NZ (Ulcerate) gets no coverage. Ulcerate practically invented that super grimdark mix of sludge and techdeath, Beastwars are just following a formula.
Speaking of bfm my band is unironically playing on there for music month lmoa we're gonna be so shit
the haka's pretty good i hear
>>64761010
Yeah my own fault for continuing to listen to b desu, totally get what you mean though. I think a lot of it stems from being such a tiny country trying to maintain some semblance of musical activity while also trying to keep people happy
What's your band anon?
>>64761010
NZ wants to be relevant in the mainstream so it doesn't promote actual creativity and innovation, the culture promotes matching up to others on the world stage
We're riding the Lorde wave, got us signed and everything

From New Zeland
>>64761418
This is true. NZ is also incredibly quick to praise anything even remotely good and it gets to certain artists. A lot of musicians I know believe that getting a review in the herald is "massive". If a group like Doprah were in the US or Europe, they wouldn't be praised at all, and therefore they'd keep pushing to find a really unique sound and break through. But here, they are already being praised as the greatest thing of all time, despite their songs being low-effort garbage. So, they're going to keep making low-effort garbage, because they know it's all they need to get NZ on Air funding and radio play, and never reach their full potential as artists. A lot of NZ music is acceptable, but none of it stands up to anything that other countries make.
>>64761755
As someone in the industry, I totally agree with this. The "they're from NZ and that's all that makes them special" notion is real, look at this Track review from P4K on a Yumi Zouma song http://pitchfork.com/reviews/tracks/18161-yumi-zouma-keep-it-close-to-me/, it needed the caveat "Who opened for Lorde" just to get attention.
Not to mention the rate of decay on new artists is ridiculously high, groups like HEAVY get attention for about 2 months before disappearing altogether, there's hardly a cohesive "scene" here at all.
>>64757647
Literally the first time I see Ladyhawke mentioned on /mu/
She's fucking great
>>64761889
And this is why I'm going to shill Mice on Stilts to the end of my days as I feel they are unique not just for NZ but worldwide. Indie pop/rock bands that use classical and jazz instrumentation are dime a dozen but the influence from noise rock and post-rock and metal really sets them apart. They're getting a lot of praise from the local media and I hope they don't start being too inward in their promotion (ie just aim for the NZ market), because their real market is overseas, like Ulcerate.
Ulcerate too, but they've already got all the credit they deserve from the international press
