Mistake
Theory is a New Zealand band that has released their
self titled album in MP3 format for you to download and listen at
your leisure. Please visit their web
site where you can listen to other albums in streaming
Real Audio format.
A great place to start is Sounz
- Centre for New Zealand Music. The authors describe the web site
as follows: "..exists to promote New Zealand music. Our mission is to foster
and develop New Zealand music, it's creation, performance, publication, recording
and broadcast, by working with and behalf of New Zealand composers." I think
that says it all.
The
popular kiwi band Zed have released their debut CD entitled Silencer.
The album contains many great tracks including Glorafilia and
Renegade Fighter. It's one of those albums that you can keep
playing over and over and you never get tired of listening. Visit Zedquarters for
up-to-date band info.
On the other hand, if the soulful melodies of jazz are to your tastes, cruise
on by to Jazz Online.
A very well presented site with interesting news and events, who's playing where
and even some Real Audio samples to listen to. If you're worried about the size
of a place that an artist is to perform in, check the venues section to see the
capacity of each venue, and a quick description of the environment in which they
will perform.
Dave Dobbyn seems to have been around since year dot when it comes to the NZ
music scene. And yet, still produces very good albums with catchy tunes that
you will be singing to yourself for the rest of the day (if not months). The
Definitive Dave Dobbyn website doesn't disappoint either. Packed
full of RealAudio clips and even a Dancin' Dave Dobbyn competition.
Pipe Organ music has been around for centuries, so why not find out more at the Rieger
Pipe Organ website which features music samples and photos of the
construction of a pipe organ in Christchurch.
Do you like red hair? Do you like good music? Look no further than Stellar*.
The Stellar* web holds
plentiful amounts on information about the band and their songs. The site even

over the internet. Well, look no further. Vision
100FM Palmerston North plays just that. Included on their web site
is an extensive playlist for each day of the month, so you know what's coming
up and when.
Strange places, weird people, cool links. Student radio is alive and rocking
in New Zealand. B95FM is
a prime example of this. Listen to the radio from anywhere in the world via your
RealAudio player. Find out who's on air, and what they're going to be playing.
Also gives a listing of the other student radio stations scattered around New
Zealand. Well worth a look and listen.
A major supporter of the New Zealand music scene for many years, has been Flying Nun Records.

Includes band profiles, a comprehensive catalogue, tour dates and videos from
various bands.
