Auckland, New Zealand’s 1995 continue their excellent dark-wave post punk stuff here with their latest single Polar Rapid, which is split 7″ with Brisbane’s DZ. A slight change in vocal style here from their previous stuff, and it really works for them.

Polar Rapid, and their previously released Guilt EP, are still available directly from the bands myspace.

Brain Slaves have recently made the move from NZ to Sydney and after cancelling their first Sydney show due to illness, they are finally making their Sydney live debut at Spectrum this Wednesday night 16th September.

Really different NZ style wacked out pop with a bit of a UK indie feel…. We’re All Lions is five-and-a-half-minutes of what sounds like nitrous party / journey goodness…sit down, turn up & enjoy.
