Flyweight sticks around the southern hemisphere for week two of its focus on New Zealand artists. This week we feature (best band ever in the world) The Clean!

Centered around David and Hamish Kilgour The Clean formed in 1978 in Dunedin. They became a staple band of the NZ post punk label, Flying Nun with songs like "Tally Ho" and "Getting Older". Their first inception to the US was college hit "Drawing to a Hole". In September 2009, Merge Records issued their most recent album, "Mister Pop".

We'll get to 6 career-spanning songs from The Clean beginning at 6PM this Thursday on Flyweight. But make sure you tune in at 5PM for part two of our Noisyland tribute!

See ya
- Rav

The Chills, a New Zealand based indie pop band, defined much of the Dunedin Sound as one of the flagship Flying Nun Records bands. They are one of the only bands to continually hit #1 on WZBC's Top 90.3 songs countdown with the track "Pink Frost". We'll get to 4 or 5 songs by The Chills as Flyweight Internationale packs up for a two week trip to Noisyland!

Tune in this Thursday at 5:00 PM for Flyweight on WZBC 90.3 FM or online at www.wzbc.org.

Fuzzed Out Bliss,

10:40 - NIGHTMARE AIR

Featuring the guitarist and drummer of Film School (and the sublime Swaan on bass), Nightmare Air blend swirling shoegaze and driving distortion into a dense hypnotic sound.

9:50 - BROKEN RIVER PROPHET
http://www.myspace.com/the..brokenriverprophet
"Vaguely psychedelic tangle of chaos that never appears the same way twice...Allston's most freewheelin' purveyors of overmedicated Americana." - The Weekly Dig


9:00 - ENDLESS WAVE
http://www.myspace.com/and..reobin
"Yearning vocals echo out over canyons of flangy filter sweep, with tightly arpeggiated synth lines streaking off to the horizon" - The Boston Phoenix

8:30 JON WHITNEY of KILLER PIMP Records (A Place To Bury Strangers / All The Saints / Soundpool) VJ's

8:00 - 1:00 - Stop by the Flyweight table!!!
