What would a Dunedin movie be without a Flying Nun soundtrack? scarfiescover (62145 bytes)

"Scarfies" (directed by Robert Sarkies) has its world-first public premiere at the Dunedin International Film Festival on July 22 before going on major release in New Zealand on August 5. The film was the best-performing local movie at Cannes, having already picked up huge international sales.

"Scarfies" is set in Dunedin in the 1980s, and features some of the most classic Flying Nun tracks from that chilly mecca of legendary rock n’ roll. The music is a huge feature of the film – as the tension builds in this comedy-thriller, so does the music. If you’ve ever wanted to see the Clean live at the Empire, heres’ your chance. As a compilation in its own right, the soundtrack hits the mark – it’s bursting at the seams with gems by the likes of the Headless Chickens, 3Ds, The Clean, Shayne Carter & Peter Jefferies and the Verlaines.

Dunedin boy Andrew Brough and his band Bike also give us a brand new recording exclusively for the "Scarfies" soundtrack. The first new Bike song since the highly-acclaimed album "Take In The Sun", ‘Gaze’ is a gentle wonder after the fashion of Circus Kids’ and ‘Save My Life’, and is produced by award-winner Malcolm Wellsford (The Feelers, Shihad).
