Ready to Fly - The Story of New Zealand Rock Music

Craig Potton Publishing, 2003. Ex library copy in tidy condition.
A survey and celebration of 50 years of New Zealand popular music. Decades of Kiwi musicians bamming out the beat - rock 'n' roll, pop, mod, country, folk, heavy metal, soul, punk, new wave, garage, funk, hip hop, techno - that rocks the nation. From wild Kiwi garage to deep in the Pacific of bass, from C'mon to slice of heaven, this is the story of New Zealand's sound, told from its beginnings with the likes of the shirt-ripping Johnny Devlin through to the proud and sophisticated music industry of today. Containing many photographs, along with a colourful text, this book taps into the pulse of the popularity of New Zealand music...
