Stunt Clown the first Lp from New Zealand wonder band the Headless Chickens. Recorded in early 1988 it sold well and received positive critical response. The material on the album is quite diverse, though lacking in direction, and was at the time quite different to the typical' NZ music sound. Do The Headless Chicken is described as "an epic featuring at least two scintillating guitar riffs and ending with a drum machine that's almost terrifying." Star At Night was also a highlight with its cynicism and sarcasm evident in the line "Hip hooray, hip hooray, here comes another day." The first single off the album was Donka which remains a favorite with fans. A tour of Australia was undertaken in late 1988.
The purpose of this blog is to expose you to the unique and unrepeatable New Zealand scene known as "Dunedin Sound" that emerged in New Zealand in the early eighties. This space takes over from wonderful blogs that in their time served to make known to the world some of the most significant bands and records of that period. The present collection is dedicated to all those kiwi bands -many of them already forgotten- who, without knowing it, wrote a very important page in the history of music.
