Sigh. Why not include Betchadupa and Liam Finn as well, then you've got 95% of Kiwi music being produced by the Finn Family, I suppose.
Haha. Now, that's what I'm talkin' bout. None of the Kiwi music that I really like would be as successful as that though. The Chills, Sneaky Feelings, Terminals, The Bats, The Verlaines, The Clean, Bressa Creeting Cake, Straitjacket Fits and The Subliminals. Probably aren't many, (if any) videos of them on You Tube, but there might be.

A mate from gave me a couple of songs off The Subliminals' United State and The Crystal Chain. Some good stuff there.

Bloody hell. Someone's actually heard of them. Uh-Oh is a brilliant song. Utterly brilliant. Love their bass lines. Indian, The Crystal Chain, Bug Powder and Unitedstate are also pretty solid too. Very much an acquired taste though. HDU would be a pretty similar band, I'd reckon. Or going further back, maybe Bailterspace.
