Researched and compiled by Bruce Russell (The Dead C) The 3Ds - Early Recordings 1989-90 is exactly that. A selection of tracks from the Dunedin bands formative years. The compilation features seven previously unreleased demo tracks, alongside digitally re-mastered versions of the bands first two EPs - Fish Tails (1990) and Swarthy Songs For Swabs (1991). Done on a porta-studio, many of these unheard demos were originally recorded for Xpressway, and the album also includes a version of Meluzina Man off the Xpressway Pile Upcompilation.The compilation comes with a 16pp booklet with liner notes written by Bruce Russell detailing the history of the band. Having re-released The 3Ds three albums - Hellzapoppin (1992), The Venus Trail (1993) and Strange News From The Angels (1996), Early Recordings show how this melodically noisy outfit, that went on to influence the likes of Superchunk and Pavement, all began.
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.
