"Give it a Whirl" is a six-part series tracing the evolution of New Zealand’s popular music tells its rock ‘n roll stories, from the fledgling sounds of the 1950s to today’s international music acts. Presents an engaging mix of interviews, news archive and music clips to tell the stories of the bands, songwriters and entrepreneurs and the role they played in creating the soundtrack to New Zealanders’ lives over the past 45 years.
Screening today: Episode 4 – "Anarchy in the Air"
By the late 1970’s New Zealand rock 'n roll is ripe for re-development. Despite a brief punk revolution that threatened to herald the end of traditional rock 'n roll, there is no shortage of young kiwi lads strapping on guitars and dreaming of becoming rock gods. The Dudes spearhead a new wave of local bands keen to play their own songs. Meanwhile, Split Enz comes very close to world domination with their hit album "True Colours." But ultimately it is a musical DIY philosophy that sees local music into the eighties.
Screening as part of our Kiwi Music Film Fest season.
