@raznomore funk rock, for sure.
So funk rock is ok?
What about pop rock, punk rock, alt rock, soft rock, hard rock......
I don’t think there’s anything on this thread that isn’t “rock” of sorts^^ Hey guys, Billy Joel has been a Fern member all along!

Think TIm got a mention earlier, but not sure about Split ENz...
-
the term 'rock' seems loose in here, so...2 more great tunes!

Late to this thread, but it appears that we have covered pretty much every single song produced by a kiwi over the last 50 years, good job team!
By Christ some of them are terrible too. I guess that’s what happens when you start a thread when you’re pissed.

Always loved Bones Hillman's work:

@booboo The Kiwi rock band I've seen the most. RIP Wayne.
This was huge for about 5 minutes when I was at Uni.
I remember the cheesy video.
Couldn't remember the name of the band or the song so was googling 'Hamilton rock band' and 'you don't love me Hamilton' and similar searches.
There's a stage show on Disney Plus did you know?
Never heard them again.

This was filmed at the Meremere power station.
Knightshade were the main hard rock act in Hamilton from the late 80s to mid-90s and also opened for a lot of international bands during that period. They released other singles and those videos are also on youtube. I was at their sold-out final concert in Aug 2016 in Hamilton.

Pretty decent Spotify playlist that includes most posted here

I remember them from 1983 playing Hamilton quite a bit (lady H and Hillcrest). I knew they were from TePuke so maybe they hadn’t moved by then.

@Crucial I am not entirely sure when they based themselves permanently in Hamilton but there is 1h of footage from a 1986 concert at the Hilly on YT. You might have been there, sadly I was too young.
No. I had left by then.
They were certainly playing around the Tron in 83 because they were seen as the ‘dinosaurs’ on the scene. I used to do sound for another band and their sound guy was Lawrence from the PA hire place (Musicare?). It was sometimes a battle to get the good equipment if they were playing as he’d be able to cherrypick it.
