PLEASE do yourselves a favor and CLICK ABOVE to watch all 6 parts of this documentary. A lot of people talk about Seattle or New York, Glasgow or Manchester, but the bands and records to come out of New Zealand from 1977 to 1997 are equally as important, influential, and just fucking AMAZING. Toy Love, Tall Dwarfs, The Chills, The 3Ds, The Verlaines, The Bats and so much more. Get. Into. It. (you’re welcome in advance)

I came across this flow chart about the influence Flying Nun bands have had on influential American and English bands.
One of the most romantic myths about Flying Nun is that its bands were far more acclaimed internationally than in New Zealand […] It is largely unfounded though. Flying Nun bands were mostly even less popular in the United States than they were in New Zealand. There’s a reason why Neil Finn owns a quarter of Flying Nun, while many of its bands can’t afford to buy their own records.
I’m just going to turn this into a Flying Nun appreciation blog from now on. Everyone needs to know.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyn51c4tzc1qzzyy3o1_250.gif)
