Gday

well having lived in New Zealand now for over 2 years i have now kinda settled into the kiwi way of life
its very releaxed and laid back with an emphasis of chillness
As regards to the music scene they have had a minor succesion of good artists and also movies too
as for music i can give you some reccomendations and see if you like them or not
New Zealand has got its musical history and its cemented in the form of popular songs dating back to the seventies
hello sailor are forever mentioned in any thing related to kiwi music and this is one of there hits
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-8X_lytyYm4" target="_blank">gutter black</a>

and then there is this band there called dragon
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHFFuukk9Y8" target="_blank">dragon</a>

as for recent times shihad are probably the most well know bands to have come from these parts

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IuNYqGoI ... ure=relmfu" target="_blank">shihad</a>

there is a very strong metal scene over here with alot of underground bands doing the rounds
and tbh they blow alot of other bands from america and the uk out of the water
but because its such a small population 4,434,292 million so far they dont get the exposure they need and so its kinda kept underground

other popular artists are
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3euc9pmst4M" target="_blank">tiki tikane</a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_cg4vWhg ... ults_video" target="_blank">jonny love</a> all filmed in nz

as for movies ive watched a few kiwi classics

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_NV45ZuepZo" target="_blank">once were warriors</a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwqfR8g-Qow" target="_blank">boy</a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE7-_Z03Aw4" target="_blank">whale rider</a>

they have a knack of making humourous and yet heartfelt movies

and of course lotr and the hobbit are derived from these isles

Im totally over the uk and i know it might piss afew of you off me saying that but it really is true there is better places out there and i feel the less you have the more richer you are

any how i will leave you with one of the cool things that can happen here in any city or town centre in new zealand and when it does it send shivers thro your spine

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puXad30DSfg" target="_blank">Haka flash </a>

and also in aus
