This page is the Bulls Junction of New Zealand Music. Well worth a visit. Resonance - NZ Music on the Net . Unlike some links sites they give a brief description of each band, though not as good as my descriptions of course. Has some nice features like a noticeboard and chat, which are somewhat dodgy on my antiquated browser but may work better on yours.
Frames are a bit annoying.
Christchurch Music Scene does not seem to have a presence on the Web any more since this link is no longer working. A shame, since it contained info on bands you couldn't find anywhere else. Groups Crowded House page, obscurely named Tongue in the Mail . One of the best known New Zealand musicians, Dave Dobbyn has been around for a long time now. A fine songwriter with a gift for the catchy melody, he has a rather idiosyncratic singing style which isn't to everyone's taste, but adds a unique flavour to his songs.
