Most people in New Zealand have bad taste in music. And who can blame us really. We're so fucking far away it's like being at the bad end of Chinese whispers, except it's worse because there's a bunch of continents playing and the whisper has been gang raped by Lady Gaga, U2 and Tikki Tane. As you can imagine, the damage is often irreparable. Sometimes though, we do spit out kids who have the right idea which leads to some pretty good music, as well as a few decent festies - AKA Big Day Out & Laneways. Here are three NZ bands worth listening to from each. If you've heard them all, you're either a Kiwi or a massive nerd.BIG DAY OUTBANDICOOT
