ROB SEZ: The Stroppies are not an NZ band in the mold of classic Flying Nun artists. Rather, they're an Australian band in the mold of classic Flying Nun artists. You can tell the Stroppies have been listening to albums by The Clean, The Chills, early R.E.M., and More Songs About Buildings & Food by Talking Heads. They recently recorded this fab live set at hometown Triple R Radio (see photo gallery HERE.) This is a talented band on the way up, and worth an extended listen. "Modfather" Paul Weller agrees, which is why he chose them as the opening act for his recent UK tour. Their latest 4-star album Levity is a good starting point if you're curious. HUGE THANKS to Triple R in Melbourne for recording & posting the 2022 recording and to Fruitier Than Thou for sharing the Marc Riley session (in which you will find just a few glitches in the recording, which is otherwise very good.)
