The Fall are not an NZ band as you may know, but this record is an important piece of NZ history for a few reasons. For one it was recorded by Chris Knox, who used (I believe) the same 4-track he used to record bands such as The Clean & The Stones to record this show. Secondly, this record was released on Flying Nun and it eventually put them into a lot of financial trouble when Mark E. Smith (a notoriously huge bastard) demanded a large sum of money for the profits of this record. A great band and a great show!
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.
