The Dunedin Sound is celebrated nationally and internationally as being a unique event in popular music history. Throughout New Zealand, a generation of youth during the 1980s and early 90s revelled in the fact that something had been created in Godzone that we could truly call our own the original Kiwi DIY rock form. There was no aping of foreign sounds or looks; this was home-grown music to the max. Meanwhile, overseas, fans of indie music throughout the UK, Europe and the US recognised that something new and very special was emanating from the most unlikely of places a small city at the bottom of the world hitherto known only (if at all) for its university, its architecture, and penguins. With its inseparable connection to the Flying Nun record label, the Dunedin Sound s impact upon popular music endures to this day.
