Look Blue Go Purple - Still Bewitched (2017)

Still Bewitched, a double LP and CD compilation of 1980s New Zealand band Look Blue Go Purple comprising their three EPs, Bewitched (1985), LBGPEP2 (1986) and This is This (1987), along with previously unreleased live tracks. Look Blue Go Purple were part of Flying Nun’s ‘second wave’ (along with Doublehappys, Straitjacket Fits and the Abel Tasmans). Formed in 1983, they honed their sound in a Dunedin practice room under a record shop, where they developed a distinctive style with layered vocal harmonies, keyboards (and even flute) over trademark Dunedin guitar strum and solid tribal beats. They released three EPs before calling it a day. Though they'd made a conscious call to play with other women, LBGP never labeled themselves as a “feminist” or “girl” band, and grew tired of endlessly being asked about gender in interviews. “Gender has nothing to do with it,” they said.
