the Kiwi band love and heartfelt appreciation thread.

Well, the title says it all really, lets just take a moment to appreciate just how fantastic music here is. y'know the vodafone music awards are coming up, and its all good. so yeah:

My top 10 (in no particular order, except for Black Seeds, who are no 1):

*the Black Seeds
*Fat Freddy's Drop
*Trinity Roots
*Salmonella Dub
*I'm saying the Finn Bros (to cover all their work )
*Che Fu (esp the song he did with King Kapsi)
*Pacifier/Shihad
*Goodshirt
*The Brunetts
*The Datsuns


argh, I think that's it. It will probably be different tommorow.
So...what's YOUR top ten?

 

Ah, you said a lot of my favourites. I also like Scribe, and I like Goodnight Nurse because they came to our school and it was really cool.

We have great music here, it doesn't get appreciated enough!

 

Oh my god! A top ten in Kiwi music?!

How to choose!

1. Dave! Dobbyn!
2. Finn Bros
3. All the Rungas combined (I cheat, too bad, booyah for Pearl, Bo and Bic)
4. Strawpeople
5. Goodshirt
6. Phoenix Foundation
7. Che Fu
8. Salmonella Dub
9. EARLIER Shihad/Pacifier (before they got the big budget FX in the vids!)
10. Darcy Clay, for what he would have done if he wasn't dead.

I dream of the day when I can finally say: "Who the fuck is Scribe again?"
Sorry, I'm not a fan.

 

I went to see Tim Finn a few years ago with my dad, he was pretty good.

 

8 Foot Sativa

 

Id have to agree with ya there, not only b/c my user name is 2 do with the band but b/c they put on a bloody good concert.
Salmonella Dub's some good shit too, good driving music. um who else.....

Forgot Dave Dobbyn.

 

Deja Voodoo get the "SUCK SO MUCH THAT MATTY LOVES THEM" award.

 

I like most of those except 8 foot sativa and Elemeno P. Can't stand them.

Also, is there really a band called Six Day War?? Thats fucking cool. go israel and its psycho wars.

Um... yeah.

 

tamsyn - so with you on that first call. Big nah burgers.

Also matt - yes, deja voodo are funny. Have you seen the video for "today, tomorrow, Timaru"? oh, it's so funny, especially the guitar solo under the "Rolleston: City of the Future" sign. Magic stuff.

 

argh u guys dont know music at all, all fairness deja voodoo do luck in talent but for a band that took 6 months to learn how to play instruments by themselves and get a record label, id say thats good

 

right. I'm sorry - i'm not following - how do you get the idea that we dont know music?

 

its an expression i use when people tend to disagree with my music choice, nothing personal and sorry if you took it the wrong way

 

hey no worries with that - it was more that if all three of us like DV, then how are we disagreeing? maybe i'm just to burnt out from essayage to see it

 

Nah i think i wasnt reading it right, thats ok though its in the past

 

People come on what about Dimmer? Theyre wicked! Aaah.. top ten..

1. Shihad
2. Blindspott
3. The Bleeders
4. The Datsuns (love 'Blacken my Thumb')
5. Dimmer
6. Bic Runga
7. Minuit
8. Scribe
9. Goldenhorse
10. Deja Voodoo...hard one! I think it's the personalities that really add to their appeal though.

But so many more that I don't really listen to now, the Feelers...Breathe...and don't forget the 'oldies' Hello Sailor, Split Enz...love kiwi music. It's so awesome

 

Grr I knew this would happen Im remembering a whole lotta ones I like better than some of the ones in my top ten - Augustino and Eight are Great
