Rather than a label sampler 'Getting Older' was released as a ten year retrospective in 1991 (one of the defining periods for Flying Nun) and contains a bunch of wonderful songs from those, who by this time, had become identified with Flying Nun and its unique sound. Containing acts such as The Clean, Headless Chickens, Chris Knox, Tall Dwarfs, The Gordons, Verlaines, The Chills, The Bats, Look Blue Go Purple, Shayne Carter and Straitjacket Fits... A perfect taster and great insight into the early years of the label.
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.
