Leather Apron is the solo output of David Mitchell.<!--break-->
David Mitchell is performing as Leather Apron for every show of the 2007 Evil NZ Tour.
High Dependency Unit (HDU) are a psychedelic guitar rock band originally from Dunedin. HDU are renown for highly sonic live shows reaching Bailter Spaceic proportions courtesy of Tristan's wall of guitar meanderings, all anchored down with Neil's driving bass and "The Dino Shuffle".<!--break-->
In 1994 a little known Dunedin band by the name of Eskimo Chain decided to change their name and musical direction, adopting a more sonic approach to song writing by focusing on sound dynamics, this new band created a wave of interest up and down the country, HDU was born!
Up until the 2006 EP Tunguska, HDU have a had an unofficial Forth member, Dale Cotton (Aka. Conray) has helmed both the recorded and live sound.
There is a rumour that HDU have had interest from American Post-Metal Label Neurot Recordings
Tristan Dingemans - Guitar/Vocals

I hate being the bad guy, but lets use this as a measurement...
Out of this band who is sitting on the beach in a suit or tucked away at the back.
Of course it doesn't help that her name is Carnie...
I wonder if she smells like cabbage?
I LOVE the Ryoji Ikeda Remix of David Sylvian from Blemish remix album
Blemish is great.
but he has some awful albums too
So with this wiki bizo.
I'm guessing we write about our and others bands etc and NZMusic in general?
Can we run it kinda like a cross between a Myspace page and Wikipedia?
Can we add media? And create musical family trees?
This is wicked BTW
Yay a little picture all my own
woot!
can't wait til they are a little bigger ;)
I go away for a little while and what happens?
i get a blog and everything is different!
Holy Molars!
Everyone has an album or group who they love, but for some reason you seem to be the only person in the world who does.
So you have discovered over the years that to save yourself from being violently attacked, that it is best not mention said album/group in your favourite's list...
I have many, but mostly it's these guys
One of my drumming friends mouths like a fish when he plays.
It's crack up.
Come on...
Has any of you seen HDU live...
Tristan is hilarious to watch
I guess I'll just have to accept that I'm right and you're all wrong
Oh well C'est La Vie

Who has the best worst rock grimace in NZ music.
Drummers always have them.
My vote:
Tristan from HDU

Die? Die? Die? (Damn Fanta Pants)
I can't think of a less appropriate band to play with The Clean....(Well I can think of a few but that's beside the point).
Mestar are more appropriate and even they aren't appropriate enough.
What about someone like Over The Atlantic or Cinematic (wink) or Cassette or LD3 or Richard Towers
Screw SxSW it's such a wank fest now and it has lost all it's soul.
I want to go to Coachella!
Leather Apron is the first release from David Mitchell's solo project Leather Apron<!--break-->
