Two Lane Blacktop

Two Lane Blacktop was a garage rock band from Wellington, New Zealand who formed in 2001 and disbanded in 2003. The band wrote all its songs about movies and was named after a 1971 film directed by Monte Hellman. The members of the band were Matt Harrop on vocals and guitar, Luke Hutching on bass, Phil Smiley on drums, and Pip Brown on lead guitar and background vocals.
The band was influenced by protopunk groups such as The Stooges and The MC5, and were often compared with contemporary garage rock bands such as fellow countrymen The Datsuns.
Lead guitarist, Pip Brown, later had some success in Australia, New Zealand and the UK with her debut album under the name of Ladyhawke in 2008.
