Tall Dwarfs - Turning Brown and Torn in Two

[sparkyspacechimp]

Agree all....I am a child who grew up with alternate radio 4zzz in Brisbane. Flying Nun records equalled anything our lads could produce in Oz. As Tasimana said: the Chills, Bats, Verlains...and Chris Knox (NZ 's God)...SUPERB

nz music from this era the best- bats, chills, verlains, look blue go purple etc etc

don't know if new nz bands have kept this legacy going - any recommendations?

This is my all-time best music video - I remember seeing it the first time and being mesmerised. Wonderful homage to Len Lye, the inimitable CK's music, the (if I recall correctly) $500 price tag. Brilliant.

Thanks so much for posting this - I was mentioning it to someone just-the-other-day so did a quick search and bingo!

Brilliant song & video. The bit with the kid and "always hope" amongst the chaos is really quite moving...

Flying Nun & Co., plus Chris Knox & crew put out some of the best pop music in recent history. NZ pop will always be killer king. (The Bats, for me, and the Clean - anything Robert Scott does - wins)

Has been a looong time since I saw this. So many great N.Z bands that should be here. Ta for posting.

Man, I wish YouTube had better resolution when they recompress the videos I post. The DVD version of this video literally put me into a trance!
