Man on The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown - by Roger Shepherd

“Rolling Moon” represents The Chills at the start of their journey proper. It's not a great recording by later standards but easily good enough to allow the song to shine. It's the start of a journey that Martin Phillipps is determined will become a career.  

Prime Movers' drummer Chris Matthews didn’t feel right playing drums in a pop band. His thoughts were darker and he was seeing music a different way partly due to his new flatmates musical outlook. 

"...After all, it was the anti-music business Do It Yourself (DIY) ethic that Chris was looking to embrace and not a willfully rough and ready Lo-fi one. DIY is about using the limited resources at your disposal and getting the best possible results by being imaginative and inventive."

"...Bored Games rewrote themselves back into the history of Dunedin music and helped put in place a small but significant building block in the long-lasting career of Shayne Carter."
