The Mint Chicks - "Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!"
I can't believe I haven't had The Mint Chicks on this blog yet. They were the ultimate Kiwi experimental-rock (or troublegum) band up until their demise in 2010. The band consisted of brothers Kody and Rubin Nielson, Michael Logie and Paul Roper... who were all attending Orewa college at the time they formed. The three studio albums they released 'Fuck the Golden Youth' (from 2005), 'Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!' (from 2006) and 'Screens' (from 2009), were all met with critical acclaim. 'Crazy? Yes! Dumb? No!' won many awards in NZ and was the album of the year with most critics here in 2006. They relocated to Portland, Oregon in 2007 and that is where Rubin Nielson is still based with his new band 'Unknown Mortal Orchestra'. Kody is back in New Zealand and has a new project 'Opossom' featuring former bandmate Michael Logie and Bic Runga.

Ha - another one of those pieces that we attempted on the Ukulele Bryan! We might have to work on a Bitter FM set ! : )
ReplyDeleteI'm impressed with the material your ukulele group plays. Maybe an all Kiwi set in May for NZ music month.
