Well, okay, is it New Zealand music, or is it just MOR radio-friendly rock ... from New Zealand?

Anyway, they'll be there, which is a bit of a start, huh?!

Who knows... Maybe next year it'll be Dimmer, Shihad, The Datsuns, Bic Runga with baby in tow, The D4, The Mint Chicks... or even Flight of the Conchords...!!!

They are too Nickelback for my liking. They have that quiet-then-loud, power chord dynamic down pat. Good money maker, but makes for boring as hell music. The singer is from my home town, though.

Phoenix Foundation, Conchord Dawn or Shapeshifter would kill.

Good luck getting tickets for Pentaport without a Korean credit card on Interpark...guess I'l have to give the money to my coworker and let him order the ticket for me or go in person to buy one...that is if you can go to Dream Park to buy one.

Yeah, well, that's pretty good.

I reckon Gish is the best real 'New Zealand' talent I've seen in years though:
