but wait theres more:
sleepers union: simon from the subliminals excellent electronic project
conray: famous dunedin sound man (not naming any names because he would hate me) electronic project.
Wrong white crowd: auckland hip hop who will probably be very famous.
South kill : what i heard was amazing.
aesthetics: people who know them know them. But more should.

Slipstream. don't know much about them (they might actually be famous and I may just be ignorant) saw them do a live recording for Rdu with Degrees.K a week or two ago. great vocals.

the addition of Tim Driver on Keys is nothing short of a masterstroke.
hopefully Southern Amp slot does them some favors.
this is authentic music. I almost feel young listening to it. Sometimes that is the most you can dare for.

Heka - Dunedin; exhuberant noise chime, landscapy topographical hallelujah music. forever working on an album, not sure when it's due out.
Sentimental Plastic - Hamilton, though i think many members are Auckers or Welly way. NZ needed a Wire-type band, and these guys are it, but a lot lot lot more. if you ever drive around the south island, put this in your stereo and you'll be a fan for life.
Nathan and thuh Muntaz - Dunedin; world famous in this town, and too effing lazy to go anywhere else. i admire that. Always catchy, always dodgy, always offensive, always very very insightful and clever. always drunk. have released an album, but without the stage shenanigans and threatening-but-alluring dancing girls, you'd only be glimpsing 1% of what Nathan and his crew are about.
How could i have forgotten ...
How could i have forgotten heka!!!!!!!
Heka were/are my favourite band who were playing in Dunedin when i was there.
I think david kilgour's solo stuff is totally underrated outside of dunedin. But he is not exactly unknown is he so i'll shut up.
oh my god!!!
The zoo polluters: john whites punk rock band. Playing in wellington soon with *cough*rawer
*cough*. I dont really like mestar. I love his solo stuff. But this band is amazing.

sorry there
i knew the dogs were leaving chch but i think i beat them to it
they shaped their sound a bunch in chch anyways
chch is what made them what they are
same as how the feelers were a chch band until they went to auckland and turned shit
now noone in chch calls them a chch band, right?
does that make sense?

Heard a Five Car Pile Up track for the first time today - it was fantastic - classic rock riffs with an interesting female vocal. It was on the brand new compilation out from fast food - Rock and Roll Is my Only Salvation: an awesome bunch of rock songs. I hope there will be more, and wish I'd seen the Five Car Pile Up on Two Lane Blacktop gig - wonder if they were all Datsuns?:

Hell yes, back at orientation 98 or something... dirty as rock n roll, they were on first and played to a pretty cold crowd but they converted the whole room by about song 3. There was this really cool moment where the guitarist and bass player were rocking out right beside the drummer, then he stood up with them while he was still playing and rocked out with them at the same time, never missing a beat... awesome.
