The next lot of recommendations I'd like to discuss is the New Zealand electronic group Minuit.
Some of the music they make is very repeatitive and hypnotic, but it's incredible for when hearing them live. Ruth Carr is the vocalist, who I think has an incredibly unique and almost indie style voice. Let me know what you think of them.
My next choice is the Checks, a New Zealand rock band who are just making it big here, and they are pretty damn good! They have a strong blues influence, and personally I can hear a bit of the Rolling Stones in them.
