The line-up eventually settled as a four-piece. David Pine and Matthew Bannister were the guitarists and main songwriters; drummer Martin Durrant also contributed the odd tune. Kat Tyrie played bass.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn November 1981 the group played their first out-of-town gig with the Verlaines at the Gladstone Hotel in Christchurch. Roger Shepherd saw one of the gigs and asked both bands to participate in the \u003cb\u003e\"Dunedin Double\" EP \u003c\/b\u003ewith the Chills and the Stones. Three songs; \"Pity's Sake\", \"There's a Chance\" and \"Backroom\" were recorded in a Christchurch bedroom in early 1982. The band weren't happy with the recordings, or with their next single \u003cb\u003eBe My Friend \/ Amnesia\u003c\/b\u003e, which was made during the band's first trip to Auckland in late 82.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe following year, however, they recorded their debut LP \u003cb\u003eSend You\u003c\/b\u003e at Mascot Studios in Auckland (as were all their subsequent recordings, with a couple of exceptions). The 16 track studio gave the band the sound they'd been looking for, and the album established the band as a major force in NZ music. It was recorded and mixed in four days and cost about $2000. Much of the bass on the album is actually played on a synthesiser, as Kat had a nerve problem in her arm that prevented her from playing bass with her customary vigour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1984, Kat left the band and was replaced by John Kelcher of Christchurch. The album came out to good reviews, and the band found themselves in demand. They recorded the single\u003cb\u003eHusband House b\/w \"Strange and Conflicting Feelings . . .\"\u003c\/b\u003e and \u003cb\u003eMajor Barbara\u003c\/b\u003e. This came out in 1985 and reached number 17 in the NZ singles charts. It featured cello and horn overdubs and was the group's most complex and accomplished project to date. Another single \u003cb\u003eBetter Than Before b\/w Wouldn't Cry, Here's to the Other Six\u003c\/b\u003e (recorded at Strawberry Sound, Dunedin) came out in 1986. Wouldn't Cry was notable for being the first \"proper\" song David ever wrote!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe LP \u003cb\u003eSentimental Education\u003c\/b\u003e came out in 1987. It eschewed loud guitars in favour of a more varied musical palette. A single \u003cb\u003e\"Coming True\/Wasted Time\"\u003c\/b\u003e was also released. By this time the band were living in Auckland, except for Martin, who was still in Dunedin, finishing his English Ph D. This tension eventually led to a break-up. In August to October 1987 the Sneakies toured the UK , Netherlands and Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1988, they recorded their final LP \u003cb\u003eHard Love Stories\u003c\/b\u003e and toured Europe again, using Ross Burge (now Mutton Birds drummer) in place of Martin, who was unable to come due to work commitments in Wellington.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the tour, there was a general consensus that members would go their separate ways. David went back to Dunedin to study law, and played in a band called Death Ray Cafe, who recorded for Pagan Records. Matthew stayed in Auckland, where he formed a new band, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/19990218091542\/http:\/\/www.flyingnun.co.nz\/archive\/dribblingdarts.html\"\u003eDribbling Darts of Love\u003c\/a\u003e, who recorded for Flying Nun. John went back to Christchurch, where he made solo tapes for Failsafe Records and recorded with a group called Creeley. Martin stayed in Wellington, working as a civil servant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/okYMUMEYQVo\" height=\"720\" width=\"1120\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-08-09T21:18:46+12:00","sort_order":"best-selling","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"Sneaky Feelings"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2020-08-27T22:24:35+12:00","alt":"Sneaky Feelings Dunedin Sound band from New Zealand.

The Chills were exemplars of the so-called Dunedin Sound – an often moist and melancholy, simultaneously dark and breezy amalgam of Western garage-pop roots but invested with an otherworldly aura, as if those overseas influences had indeed seeped in upside down. But only Phillipps was this quixotic, bridging folk and bubblegum, Bowie and Syd Barrett, with feverish shivers and childlike whimsy. (No one else would have dared wear pixie boots with no irony, only joy.). If music has a psycho-geographical bent, then it’s the air, waves and light of the Otago peninsular, and the spaciousness and remoteness of NZ itself, that glows and thrums through his songs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/files\/The_Chills_Flying_Nun-1_1024x1024.jpg?v=1598867261\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2020-08-09T18:55:26+12:00","sort_order":"created-desc","template_suffix":"","disjunctive":false,"rules":[{"column":"tag","relation":"equals","condition":"The Chills"}],"published_scope":"global","image":{"created_at":"2020-08-24T18:47:43+12:00","alt":null,"width":874,"height":877,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/collections\/The_Chills_Flying_Nun.jpg?v=1598251664"}},{"id":211728040087,"handle":"the-clean","title":"The Clean","updated_at":"2022-05-18T11:36:05+12:00","body_html":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0450\/3165\/3527\/files\/The_Clean_Flying_Nun_1024x1024.jpg?v=1598257731\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhat can be said about \u003cstrong\u003eThe Clean\u003c\/strong\u003e? In 1978, they were the seeds of New Zealand punk and the reason for the founding of \u003cstrong\u003eFlying Nun\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the greatest record labels that ever existed. They carved out a big sandbox for everyone to play in, and their influence resonated not only in New Zealand but around the world. Not only do bands like Yo La Tengo, Guided By Voices, Sonic Youth, Pavement, and their ilk owe a debt to The Clean, but many of today's young upstarts such as Times New Viking, Eat Skull, and a band from China called Carsick Cars have the Dunedin godfathers deeply etched into their DNA.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI've personally witnessed four or five waves of rediscovery of \u003cstrong\u003eThe Clean\u003c\/strong\u003e in the years since I first heard them in 1986, and the stuff just continues to educate. Homestead's US issue of Compilation in the late '80s and Merge's double-disc Anthology from 2002 both laid out a complete rulebook, and a pretty in-depth one at that. Nevertheless, if someone else compiles them again in 2015, it's going to resonate just as strongly.

It's completely theirs but draws on everything from the psychedelic paste of Barrett\/early Floyd to vintage Velvets propulsiveness to almost everything else under the sun. In the case of the live staple \"Point That Thing Somewhere Else,\" here is a song that levitates any room in a way that makes you swear the band just stepped out of Conny Plank's studio in Germany with all the bulldozing power of Hawkwind. Their jubilance at times (the organ-laced \"Tally Ho,\" \"Beatnik,\" \"Whatever I Do\") makes the Banana Splits sound like Bauhaus while simultaneously exhibiting dark undercurrents, making Bauhaus sound like the Banana Splits.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThey created both full studio sound and lo-fi recordings before, during, and after the various waves of the 4-track revolution, making both recording modes work with no loss of the band's identity. As far as other influences, you can hear Arthur Lee, Shirley Collins, and the Rolling Stones, among others, but it's never a kind of forced appropriation; while some bands seem to say, \"Look at my record collection,\" in the case of The Clean, it's organic, seamless, and inimitable. Though hardly as prolific as The Fall, another maverick group of originality, The Clean have endured for almost as long while maintaining a completely unique, quality stamp that's often replicated but never quite mastered by anyone but themselves.

The Great Unwashed represent a link in the chain that takes them all from their musical beginnings with The Clean to the music they each make today.
