Flying Nun Heavenly Pop Hits Documentary - final Part 9

[checklissteric]

totally engaged this whole great documentary, but missing some great bands, namely This Kind of Punishment, Snapper, and solo/side-projects of those bands...

[crewzr]

Remember "the PIN GROUP" from CHCH was Flying Nuns first signing...hardly ever mentioned but I loved their sound...A little bit of Joy Division in NZ.

Thanks for putting this up, but it's odd that after all that... the Bats only got mentioned a few times, and the Jean Paul Sartre Experience, just once. It would have been nice if their stories could have been included... I'm a Yank fan of Flying Nun, and those two bands, I always thought were quite significant and great.

I'd even go so far as to guess that the Bats is probably the 2nd most successful Flying Nun band after the Chills ?

Thank you so much for posting this -- it's a dream come true for us FN freaks here in the states.  Graeme Downes is my hero...

[mailman18]

this is an amazing find! thanks so much. growing up in the states, i was fascinated by the NZ and Flying Nun scene. also, thanks to WMBR in Cambridge MA for supporting and spreading the word!

[ottomax]

Yeah -- WMBR. I listened every day when I lived in Boston in the mid 80s -- Breakfast of Champions and Late Risers Club. They were great champions of Flying Nun as well as lots of great Australian bands.

I never got to see the Chills but I did see the Verlaines at TT the Bears. It was tremendous to see them.

Thanks for posting this, JPDKiwi!!

Hahaha, so the Terminals nexus does get its licks in, even if it's just a camera credit for John Chrisstoffels.
