The Stones were birthed by singer/guitarist Wayne Elsey’s decision to quit ‘Bored Games’ to ‘start a band that sounded like The Clean. Their début came on the 25th April 1981 at an Otago University a gig headlined by Bored Games (Shayne Carter) and new comers The Chills and Verlaine’s (a line up which in retrospect, would make any The Stones CD/Download Flying Nun/low fi pop fan drool). Elsey’s vision for a band that sounds Three Blind MIce Bonus Live Tracks like The Clean didn’t really come to fruition.

The eS mi-Autonomous Rock Music of The tS ones. Sound Scripts, 6(1). Retrieved from https://ro.ecu.edu.au/soundscripts/vol6/iss1/12 This Refereed Article is posted at Research Online. https://ro.ecu.edu.au/soundscripts/vol6/iss1/12 Jorgensen: The Semi-Autonomous Rock Music of The Stones The Semi-Autonomous Rock Music of The Stones by Darren Jorgensen1 The University of Western Australia Abstract: The Flying Nun record the Dunedin Double (1982) is credited with having identified Dunedin as a place where independent, garage style rock and roll was thriving in the early 1980s. Of the four acts on the double album, The Stones would have the shortest life as a band. Apart from their place on the Dunedin Double, The Stones would only release one 12” EP, Another Disc Another Dollar. This essay looks at the place of this EP in both Dunedin’s history of independent rock and its place in the wider history of rock too. The Stones were at first glance not a serious band, but by their own account, set out to do “everything the wrong way,” beginning with their name, that is a shortened but synonymous version of the Rolling Stones. However, the parody that they were making also achieves the very thing they set out to do badly, which is to make garage rock. Their mimicry of rock also produced great rock music, their nonchalance achieving that quality of authentic expression that defines the rock attitude itself.

A MUSICOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF NATURE’S BEST A thesis submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts at The University of Waikato by NICHOLAS BRAAE The University of Waikato 2012 Abstract Academic research on New Zealand popular music has primarily been conducted from historical and cultural perspectives. While asking important questions, these sources have rarely engaged with the musical details of New Zealand popular music. This thesis is a musicological analysis of the 100 songs from the three Nature’s Best albums. The musical perspective complements the socio-cultural research on New Zealand popular music. The Nature’s Best project was instigated by Mike Chunn in 2001 to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the Australasian Performing Right Association (APRA). All songwriting members of APRA and 100 celebrities and critics were invited to vote for their ten favourite New Zealand popular songs.

YOU NEVER KNOW YOUR LUCK IN THE BIG CITY… A SHORT FILM BY JOE LONIE PRESS KIT LOGLINE SYNOPSIS An enigmatic young musician Honk if You’re Horny is a ribald comedy about tall stories and our bizarre becomes the captive audience for need to pretend to be something we’re not, as well as the folly of being too a crusty old cab driver’s dirty story quick to judge a book by its cover. on the taxi ride from hell! On a rainy night in Auckland city, an enigmatic young musician gets into a cheap, low-rent taxicab. The crusty old cabbie takes one look at this slick young man with his guitar case and chooses to think of him as an oversexed, rock and roll party animal. Trying to impress his passenger, the cabbie launches into a graphic recounting of a sexual misadventure he participated in “just the other night”. While it is obscene and highly inappropriate, the driver’s story is undeniably compelling, but as the details become increasingly more hilarious and outrageous, it gets harder to believe. The passenger has no choice but to listen, and hold on for dear life, as he becomes a captive audience for the driver’s obscenities during a hair-raising cab ride from hell, including a high-speed cop chase and a frightening run-in with a car-load of homicidal Westies! The passenger grits his teeth and toughs it out, wondering how he can get back at the driver for polluting his ears and putting him through such a life-threatening ordeal.
