which band, kelpie? was it the Black seeds (i've just noticed they're touring blighty at the mo) ? a pal came back from NZ last year and brought all their albums along too...pretty good, imho, if a little cheesy and naive sometimes (i always imagine the NZ equivalent of trustafarians sitting around earnestly, sagely nodding their heads.. :)
i would represent NZ through a natural element - forget LoTR references, they're just insulting! Or Maori - their tattoos and natural art are particularily inspiring and distinct.

yeah it was the Black Seeds - I heard one of their tunes on here yesterday and thought it was a bit "white" (I know how bad that sounds), but live they were excellent. Your assessment of them is pretty accurate though, but nice guys as these head-nodders tend to be...
My burd's from Welly and went to school with the singer, that's the only reson I knew to go down.
Apparently using maori tats and stuff out of context is a bit dodgy, could be wrong though...

oh, and mx - I USE solvents, i don't ABUSE them. pffft, as if I can't handle it...

(Aug 4 05, 03:39)I want a Maori tattoo.
any links about that kind of stuff?
- Nairn0
he.. yeah - 'White' is exactly how I'd put it too :)
Said pal's ..wait a sec.. sister's husband, is a well-known maori tattooist (in that he's maori, and a traditional tribal tattooist), who's done celebs such as Robbie Williams (woooh!).
I respect his work and his culture - but I know he's not above schlepping designs out for a buck or two, so I wouldn't get 'too' concerned at pillaging yet more of their culture!

aw, bless. kelpie's shockingly liberal upbringing accidentally bubbles to the surface.
happens to the best of us.

me too, sometimes, Kelpie ;)
Anyone for a little environmentally-themed sanctimony?
