Dunedin Sound Tapes

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.

Children's Hour - Looking For The Sun (2005)

Before there was Headless Chickens there was Children's Hour. The band were one and the same although the unfortunate suicide of bassist Johnny Pierce altered things somewhat. Childrens Hour were a whole different ball game from where Headless Chickens went to though. Dark, powerful, intense and at times overwhelming they mined similar but different territory to early Birthday Party. This is a collection of the best live material around of the band mastered up to sound even better than their now deleted and never released on CD studio recordings.
