− | Band from the late 1990s, featuring [[Richard Whyte]] (guitar), [[Rick Jensen]] (guitar/vocals) and [[Dean Brown]] (drums). They competed in the [[Contact 89FM]] [[Battle of the Bands 1997|Battle of the Bands]] in 1997. While in Hamilton they self-released the albums ''[[What the Fuck is Fahrenheit?]]'' (1997) and ''[[Hotel/Motel]]'' (1998) and a number of EPs. Between 1999 and 2000 all three members moved to Wellington, and since 2002 have released four albums under the name [[Nova Scotia]]. Brown and Jensen later relocated to England, meaning that the band seldom had opportunities to play together. Despite this, in 2008 they played a show at Cafe Oto in London (with Ben Spiers and Alex Mein Smith) and had a split-12" with Dunedin band Eye released by Tipped Bowler Tapes in 2011. | + | |
