So True - The Black Seeds. And in fact, most of their first album... its awesome. Almost anything by Crowded House... Weather with you, Four Seasons in One Day, Fall at Your Feet (This is my favourite), Private Universe, World Where You Live. I know its cliché but I LOVE Crowded House.
the maori version is definitely better, maybe cause i dont recognize the words but yeah...so true- black seeds...and mr brightside-the killers. The two most oveprlayed songs in 2005
I can't remember who originally did it, but the Mutton Birds' cover of "Nature" is pretty Kiwi to me.
Welcome Home by Dave Dobbyn is pretty chur. Theme song 4 the 2011 Rugby World Cup i think. Long time no post on here...insane
oh shit, serious? that song bites.. anything by dave does.. i reckon atleast .. Stuff that reminds me of nz? anything by shapeshifter, salmonella dub, concord dawn oh and trinity roots big time! just really anything that is really uniquly ours... if that makes sense..
yes, it does! (read back through this thread bro ) I think I still have to stand by Home, Land and Sea by Trinity Roots as my ultimate NZ song in both lyrics and melody.
omg, I was working the Concord Dawn album release party in SubNine in wellington. It was HUGE and totally went off. So awesome.
wicked! so jealous....they came here but it was kind of shit. I'd been working the kora/ddub show, that was AMAZING but it wasn't concord's best show ever...maybe next time
trinityroots - home, land and sea. no contest. other awesome kiwi tracks include: the exponents - who loves who the most (most cliche drunken singalong kiwi song) the muttonbirds - nature shihad - home again (i get kiwi nostalgia every time i hear that track!)
the closest you'll get to new zealand... roll up a joint,toke up,then listen to House of shem - tahuri mai ra. nothin can beat it or comes closer to new zealand.
Pink Frost by the Chills.....Palm Singing by Bressa Creating Cake.....Waka by Che Fu.....I live in China, and whenever I hear these songs I think fondly on NZ.
