I was, and am, a big Kiwi music fan. The band no one ever mentions that
would be right up Auditeers' various alleys is Sneaky Feelings. I believe
Flying Nun issued a pretty good comp; Sentimental Education was also an
earlier collection that is excellent, if you can find it.
The Bats, The Clean and The Verlaines are also worth your while.
