Dead C...
 

are most likely better than youre favorite band, and DEFINITLEY better than youre favorite band from new zealund, hehehe.

that is dead c playing live on some new zealand tv show, its really good, then they talk about the suicide s/t record with the host, its pretty cool.

harsh 70s reality, the white house, trapdoor fucking exit.

all amazing.

I like trapdoor fucking exit the best, and that's also the name of a really cool band..

tusk is really good too. i think theyre so awesome, im surpised people dont gush about them on this board.

People have gushed plenty about this band here over the years.
Personally, I like Harsh 70s Reality, but that's about it.

I like the one side project Gate. I like that performance on youtube, but the Dead C albums I've listened to aren't as awesome as that.

they are good, but sometimes i don't have the patience to listen to them, especially harsh 70's reality.

i recommend you track down some bootlegs, they are massive!

I'd like to get a Dead C album. As for them being better than any other band from New Zealand, what about The Verlaines, The Gordons, The Clean? The Verlaines my favourite New Zealand band.

i like them better than all those other bands, but yeah, the gordons and the verlaines rock it too.

as far as kiwi bands, i think birchville cat motel is more mind blowing than the dead c.

There's so many great NZ bands and actors which are labelled "Ozzie" by us. We steal them and claim them as our own.

There are people at my school that thought Neil and Tim Finn were Australians. But no one ever tries to claim any of the Flying Nun bands as Australians.

I think it happens more to actors, but yeah definately in the case of the Finns. Evermore are called Australian a lot, not that it bothers me because I couldn't care less about them.

amazing band, like many people have said many times on this board.

I recorded them in london a couple of years ago. I just checked my badongo and the link still works if anyone's interested:

This link still works.

Love this band.

Though I think I like Gate a little more, actually..

Vain, Erudite and Stupid is a great compilation for the uninitiated. Talk about the real world.

That double lp DR503 reissue from last year fucking blew my mind. Polio might just be one of the best esoteric/noisey rock tracks ever!
