Man on The Verge of A Nervous Breakdown - by Roger Shepherd — Flying Nun + Related

Soon after telling a few friends that I was going to start up a record label, Roy Montgomery of The Pin Group approached me about releasing a single he planned to record. The Pin Group fitted the idea perfectly as they were a key band in our local Christchurch indie music scene that loosely orbited around the music venue that was - The Gladstone Hotel. 

"The sophisticated sound is an ever shifting blend of gentle musical layers that flow and drift across each other in the most satisfying of ways. Tasteful, full of character and always assured."

Louis Likes His Daily Dip is a remarkable record, a marker of Tall Dwarf musical ambition and the blueprint of the record making methodology that they would follow over the subsequent years when making their best recordings.

This Sporting Life were the necessary disrupting outsiders that helped mix and mess things up. They made Show Me to the Bellrope and helped to make Flying Nun a more interesting musical place.
