An album simmering with background chaos worthy of prime-era Buttholes or Royal Trux. The real surprise here is how Derry Legend clears the room for pop chops, making it possibel to see the Axemen's relation to bands like The Clean and The Gordons. A wonderful testament to the power and limits of form-bloat. Long overdue re-issue of this cracked pop classic and Flying Nun rarity, Derry Legend was one of Kurt Cobain's top NZ platters and a staple of his mix-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.
