Stayed in a Hostel in London. Met a guy there from New Zealand backpacking Europe. He was playing and singing with a guitar and I asked him to play something from a NZ band. I had never heard this song before up until then. Thank you Jack !!

this is NZ the way it should be. real shame that this never made it to an international level, i think it's a crime against NZ culture that this band never got the recognition they deserved. cheers for the banger though boys, i bet i'm speaking for a lot of us here when i say that this song is literally the sound of my generation's childhood.

It was a coincidence. Eels had no idea about this band until this video was brought to their attention. Love Eels, and now I am so happy that I found another band to delve into. Love this tune!!
