"FAB & COOL KIWI CURIOS FROM THE 'BEAT ERA'!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

All these 1960s New Zealand bands were new to me, and most songs provide decent attempts to ape British Beat groups, particularly The Beatles and other Merseybeat outfits – kinda fun to hear so many fake Liverpudlian accents! Energy, enthusiasm and a degree of garage punk genius are also to be found in abundance. I hope there will be more compilations like this one, one can perhaps hope for a spotlight on New Zealand Psychedelia-

Description

A staggering 37 tracks of Kiwi – Beatle inspired Beat music from 1963–1966. These are the groups who formed or changed direction after being inspired by The Beatles and Merseybeat. It is safe to say that “The history of contemporary music in New Zealand starts right here”.

All of a sudden we were writing our own songs as studio facilities and production staff started to meet the standards required to make records of international standards, which opened the door for successive generations of Kiwi musicians with the effects still being felt in the industry today.

The emphasis of this collection is on 3 part harmonies, 3 piece suits, twangy guitars and lots of YEAH YEAH YEAH’S…oh and lots of fun!
