ROB SEZ: This post kicks off a new series focusing on New Zealand ROIOs from the 1980s and 1990s. I thought the Great Unwashed would be a great way to start, since it includes members of The Clean, The Bats, and The Chills. HUGE THANKS to H.T. and Happytrader for sharing their treasures with folks like me. Watch for lots more in the coming weeks...

  1. Thanks! Looking forward to this NZ series. Wouldn't say no to some Look Blue Go Purple or Verlaines, by the way.

    1. Don't know anything about the first group, but I'm pretty sure I have a Verlaines ROIO or two I can share at some point...

  2. Here is Hamish's latest single. He's back in Christchurch at the moment, and IMO can do with the money so please buy.

    "The Sundae Painters are the creative collaboration between members of— The Bats, The Clean, Tall Dwarfs and Toy Love."

    Thursday nights in Lyttleton!
