We used to talk a lot about tall poppy syndrome in this country, but my sense is that might be fading. I think generally we’re just more comfortable seeing ourselves on the world stage. What still does run through our music scene is a good amount of humbleness and self-deprecation. No one wants to get too big for their boots, until they do.

That spirit runs through On An Unhistoric Night, the debut album by Christchurch band Best Bets. They trade in exuberant, catchy rock anthems that are stadium-sized, but tempered by a healthy level of realism. If the band’s name is aiming for irony, these songs often say it plainly - it’s not a coincidence they have song titles like ‘Minor Leagues’. (Sampler)

PRE-ORDERS

Flying Nun only debits your account for a pre-order when it has actually landed in our store. We believe this is fair because supply can often be unreliable - availability and release dates frequently change without notice. Pre-order with Flying Nun and you can cancel any time prior to the product arriving at our store.

OUT OF STOCK ITEMS

Flying Nun only make products available to purchase on our website when they are actually physically held at the store (except pre-orders). Vinyl availability from all local and international suppliers changes on a daily/hourly basis. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee an online order for many items not currently held in stock.

SHIPPING

Flying Nun offers free shipping in Aotearoa New Zealand on orders over $80. We have record stores in both Auckland and Wellington and will ship your record from whichever store is nearest. We aim to pack send your order next business day. Pick ups are also available from both stores.
