The Chills are a band from Dunedin, New Zealand fronted by the rare talent of Martin Phillipps. Martin has a single-minded determination to take quality, original NZ-sounding, melodic rock music global. His requirement of band members has been to meet a standard of musicianship, which is necessary to deliver The Chills songs with essential consistent energy. This determination stems from the punk rock ethics of Martin’s musical awakening and from the subsequent proximity to people like Chris Knox who drove home how crucial it was to deliver music always with intensity and conviction.

This live energy is the central reason why The Chills are remembered fondly in all of the thirty-nine countries that they have thus far visited. It’s the combination of this AND the consistent quality of their songs which have established The Chills as one of the most well-known New Zealand groups to date – particularly in the US, UK and Europe.

The band have many faithful friends around the world and a new generation (Peter Bjorn and John, Songs, The Go Find, Panda Bear, The Shins et al) are now covering or attempting to emulate The Chills unique sound.

The Minus 5 are yet another band featuring Scott McCaughey and Peter Buck, where a three-decade collaboration started. The friends have shared vans with R.E.M., Tuatara, Baseball Project, Filthy Friends, Tired Pony, CeDell Davis, Robyn Hitchcock/Venus 3, No Ones and no doubt a few others. But The Minus 5, with their floating membership, remain the core of what they do, which is whatever they want, most of the time. Over the course of at least 13 (?) albums, 30-plus singles/compilations, and countless live line-up fluctuations, the band-that-wasn’t-meant-to-be-a-band have toured with both Wilco and Tweedy.

The No Ones‘ upcoming album, My Best Evil Friend, is released on Yep Roc on 31 March 2023. The No Ones are Peter Buck, Scott McCaughey, Arne Kjelsrud Mathisen and Frode Strømstad. Consisting of members from R.E.M., The Minus 5, The Baseball Project and I Was A King, the bi-continental collaborators share their third collection of songs, My Best Evil Friend, paying tribute to the artists that inspire them and populate their turntables. Through their upbeat ’60s-style indie sound infused with psychedelic flourishes, The No Ones honour Nick Lowe, Pamela Polland, George Harrison, Jenny Lewis and Phil Ochs, among others. The group enlisted contributions from friends Debbi Peterson (Bangles), Ben Gibbard (Death Cab For Cutie) and Norman Blake (Teenage Fanclub) for backing vocals, Victor Krummenacher (Camper Van Beethoven) on bass, and strings from Marin Stallemo Bakke.
