About Me:
 
A brief look at the history of popular music in New Zealand The sixties Our rock scene begins in earnest, inspired by The Beatles and the British invasion. Local bands play gigs to audiences but most don't release records or venture beyond their home towns. Ray Columbus and The Invaders experience moderate success overseas. The seventies New Zealand bands start looking towards the larger Australian markets. Bands that play pub rock, such as Dragon, Th'Dudes, and Hello Sailor are especially prominent. Split Enz is founded by Tim Finn and Phil Judd. Once Tim's younger brother Neil joins, they develop a more accessible style and several big hits and become of New Zealand's most successful bands. The eighties Neil Finn founds Crowded House, gets to number two in the American charts with Dont Dream Its Over and sells millions of records. Flying Nun is formed in Dunedin. This record label is home to such artists as Chris Knox, The Chills, and The Clean, who espouse the do-it-yourself ideals of the Punk Rock movement by recording their albums on four-tracks in their bedrooms. While Flying Nun never made a great deal of money, the Dunedin Sound attracts a cult following around the world and has a lasting impact on alternative music. Upper Hutt Posse release New Zealand's first hip hop album, E Tu, recorded in both English and Māori. The nineties Because of the influence of the Seattle grunge scene, rock music in New Zealand goes through a bland phase, with bands like the feelers, Stellar*, and Zed sounding almost identical to their American counterparts, displaying no trace of their Kiwi origins. Electronica music and rave culture spreads to New Zealand. The growth of the Internet and mp3s means that the dance music community is able to forge stronger links with the rest of the world. OMC has a surprise smash worldwide hit with How Bizarre. Television programme Popstars, created by a New Zealander, begins, inflicting not just True Bliss but also the trend for reality-based televised talent searches onto us. 2000 and beyond A Pasifika renaissance takes place in New Zealand music, with artists such as Che Fu and Nesian Mystik proudly proclaiming their background and addressing issues facing them. For example, King Kapisis APRA Silver Scroll winning a Reverse Resistance examines the impact of Christianity on his homeland of Samoa. Dawnraid Entertainment was established in South Auckland as a home for local hip hop artists and is home to recent chart toppers Adeaze and Savage. A Wellington Sound emerges, led by bands like Trinity Roots and The Black Seeds and based around roots and dub music. A worldwide resurgence of interest in rock bands, brought about by artists such as The White Stripes and The Strokes sees New Zealand bands The D4 and The Datsuns on the cover of magazines in the UK. The smart money is on The Mint Chicks and The Checks to be the Next Big Things overseas. Find this article @ http://www.tki.org.nz/r/hot...

Hi
Hows things. I've just looked at your Rain & Tears upload by the HRTs. I was in the same form as Chris Parfitt at college (St Pat's Silverstream). Also in the same form were Craig Parry (drummer The Fourmyula) and Peter Hall (Bitter End & more recently TRIXX). I used to be the music fountain of knowledge publishing my Top 20 every day within the college! The original Rain & Tears was done by Aphrodites Child (including Demis Roussos & Vangelis. I like both versions. Nice chatting again. Catch you later.

Hi
You've got some good Keil Isles stuff there. You don't happen to have "Goodnight Irene" anywhere do you? It's an instrumental (piano) and I think it was it Freddie Keil.
