Date: 2005-05-01 05:11 am (UTC)One of the greatest bands of the late 80s was fronted by Dean Warham who is a New Zealander, born in Wellington. The band? Galaxy 500. They were extremely influential -- nearly to the level of The Velvet Underground, if only because they repopularized the sound of the VU.
Now Dean Warham is fronting Luna (http://www.fuzzywuzzy.com). This is a band that isn't quite as great but equally worth listening to. I highly recommend the album _Bewitched_.
It is too bad that the two bands didn't actually form in New Zealand but nevertheless it's Kiwi blood behind the music.
