Flying Nun Records Music News — New Zealand

It's that time of the year already! Independent Music NZ have announced their finalists this morning for both the Taite Music Prize 2023 and the Independent Debut award — and are thrilled to see that both shortlists include some of our fantastic Flying Nun whānau; Aldous Harding, Fazerdaze and one of our latest signees Erny Belle. Read on for the full list. 

Flying Nun Records presents Nunplugged a Park(ing) day event, this Saturday 4th of March, out the front of the Flying Nun record store at 173 Cuba St, Wellington. We'll be joining all kinds of art and music instillations on the street! It's all part of the Wellington Fringe Festival, so we're creating a nice lawn, picket fence, with music provided by DJ Milky Joe, Sig Wilder, Floromancy, Elliott Dawson, Rose Lubranksy, Sofia Machray. Drop on by!   

Erny Belle returns before the end of the year for the release of a very special Christmas song, ‘Meri Kirihimete’. Equal parts elegant and tongue-in-cheek, Erny Belle welcomes us to her world of an Aotearoa Christmas.

Alongside the heart-wrenching new single, comes a beautiful self-directed video dedicated to Georgette Brown’s (drums) late father, Justin Brown, and made with the support of New Zealand on Air.
