Presented by the New Zealand Festival
Nearly 35 years after the 1982 record that helped launch New Zealand’s most important independent record label and take the “Dunedin Sound” to the rest of the country and then the world, the New Zealand Festival has brought two of the Dunedin Double EP's bands – The Chills and The Verlaines – together for a one-off pair of concerts.
Formed in Dunedin in 1980, The Chills were one of the first acts to be signed to Flying Nun. They have had a revolving cast of band members, with frontman Martin Phillipps the only constant.
His knack for writing fantastic pop songs has given them chart hits in New Zealand and a cult following around the world.
The Chills’ critically acclaimed songs include Pink Frost, I Love My Leather Jacket and Heavenly Pop Hit, to name just a few. In October 2015, they released their first full-length album in nearly two decades, Silver Bullets.
With support from Creative New Zealand and Pub Charity
