really curious to know....

Forums: NZ Music,

yep!

don't know!

Bright Eyes!!!!

Im a massive fan of Modest Mouse and Fugazi. I suppose my band is kinda similar to those bands too.

Yeah Modest Mouse are damn great, and Fugazi are legendary!!

Don't know about NZ bands who sound like this, may be worth while to try out some of the old flying nun catalouge....

modest mouse all the way I say.... Some of my songs sound vaguely mousy, Fugazi I like heaps, and could do to listen to more of... If youre in Auckland on June 12 come and check Die Die Die, The secretaries and The Body Corporate out...

there are a few new zealand bands who sound like that.
this night creeps
die die die
the mint chicks
probably more, cant think right now.

yeah, there's lots of that indie post-hardcore kinda thing going around auckland, tho none of them are dance-infected (or prince-infected) (or even fucking keyboard-friendly) enough to pull off (late period) dismemberment plan type antix. & I'm extremely grateful no nz band sounds like modest mouse.

oh im big fan of DCFC!you should definietly check postal service too,they are not kiwi band though.
if you like FUGAZI,The mint chicks and Die Die Die would be perfect choice!
modest mouse kick ass!

hey bureacrat + rusty one,

what are your (respective) bands called?

do you have websites?

funnily enough, we are in the same band! our cover has been blown!!!!

we are called The Body Corporate and we are playing with Die! Die! Die!, The Coolies and The Secrataries at Edens Bar on June the 12. We dont have a website as that gig is actually our first proper one. come along, we wont suck too much!
