the stones: three blind mice

march 2015. Of the four bands represented on the Dunedin Double EP, the early 80's Flying Nun release that introduced that city's fledging indie sound to the wider world, The Stones are probably the least remembered and least appreciated. Fast, aggressive guitars, driving rhythm section with a knack for fluid pop structures. Charismatic and smart, The Stones had the ability to sound completely empathetic and threatening all at once. Three Blind Mice is a compilation curated by New Zealand/Noise legend Bruce Russell (The Dead C, Xpressway Records) including liner notes by Shayne Carter and illustrations from Chris Knox.
