New Zealand and Australian Music Links

The kiwi  is from Counting The Beat

This is not intended to be a comprehensive list - the sites are ones I've used for pages on my own site, including some I'm still working on and aren't up yet. (And I have more links to add.) The result is a rather odd assortment of bands.  Many are in Mike Chunn's book "The Mechanics Of Popular Music" NOTE: - the Kiwi Rock is site no longer available.  I've left some of the bands that were on the site in the list, without links, because I'm still looking for alternatives and don't want to forget the names.
