    do you mean your commercial exports like crowded house and shihad or native kiwi music?

    Crowded House were claimed by Australia as an Aussie band............even tho Neil Finn is a Kiwi.........they were based in Oz

    Split Enz= NZ
    Crowded House= OZ

    You guys can have Russel Crowe. We don't want him or his telephone.

    I like the finn brothers and I don't mind Brooke Fraser, I saw shihad last summer and they were ok. Scribe (is he the N.Z one??) isnt as bad as most rappers.

    Australia still has better music and rugby players ;)

    Well, we have powertool records, we have lil chief records we have arch hill recordings and flying nun records. We have eskimo, we have evermore, we have pluto, we have jakob, we have vauxhall and many many more awesome bands. But no ones heard of those bands and the odds are you dont care, cant really blame you though.

    I would like to disagree with you there, you could say that, but they had also been based in america for small times around the crowded house album and woodface, but ya wouldnt say they were american. They also never actually recorded in australia but they did record in new zealand with together alone. Neil Finn was a new zealander but paul hester and nick seymour were from australia, I believe mark hart was an american. Perhaps the most appropriate and fair definition would be an "australasian" band

    that is so bloody typical.
    just because a band is based in aussie that does NOT make them australian.
    crowded house is NOT australian.

    Yeh, it is quite annoying. However like I said, 2 of the band members were australian however the main songwriter was from new zealand.

    The first thing I think of when I think of New Zealand music is that indie label Flying Nun...I still have a sampler CD from the late 80's w/ some pretty cool stuff by Bailter Space, Verlaines, The Bats, The Chills, Jean Paul Sarte Experience...college radio type music.

    YOUR AWESOME, finally someone on here who recognises flying nun. The Bats just released a new album a couple of months ago actually.

    If this is in regards to my post, then yes, they are. But what I said was in response to Von's question, which was "are eskimo joe from new zealand" to which the answer is no. But ofcourse I knew evermore were from new zealand :-)

    i had never even heard of that record label before.
    i'm not really much of an authority on nz music coz i'm quite young and most of my friends aren't into nz music and i haven't heard much of the more 'underground' stuff which is quite unfortunate.
