hailing from wellington, new zealand: two thirds residing in melbourne, australia; one third in wellington again.
we've released three albums and two eps in Australasia since forming in 1996. our new album, LOCAL KID, is available in stores RIGHT NOW!!
to order a cd copy online we recommend you visit and they'll send it right to your door anywhere in the world... well, almost anywhere...
if you live in NZ you can grab mp3 downloads of both THE LONG DISTANCE RUNNER EP (which is no longer available as a physical, tangible cd! so, if you want it, this is your only shot!) and LOCAL KID from the iTunes Store (if you use itunes) and from digiRAMA.co.nz (if you don't)
we played a Secret Show at the Dux Delux in Christchurch, here's some footage for those who couldn't make it:

we had a great time! huge thanks to everyone who came along, to the Tiny Paper Daggers and of course to all the myspace and Dux folks!
Hey really loving the new album guys! The vox are really amazing, and I think you're really playing to your strengths with this album. Every song is a standout, and the standard of recording is worldclass.
I had a nice chat with Simon at the last Wgtn gig, and I reckon one of the most outstanding gigs I can imagine would be you guys with a kickass choir. And Si those one-handed snare rolls were sounding awesome, and your backing vox sounded great, which is no mean feat when it's Julia you're backing who has the best voice in the business!
hey guys it's katie here from friday night. cheers for getting me in and all that. anyways see you when you're next in town. hope you enjoyed your fish burger simon :-)
I wish I could afford to go see your shows on the other side of the world, but alas, being a student in George W. land doesn't afford me those luxuries. GOOOOO OBAMA!!! oh, also, i ordered your latest cd from nzmusic. com, and i'm still waiting on it - that was about a 3 weeks ago -should recieve it anyday now i imagine AND I CAN'T FREAKIN' WAIT!! good times!!!
Oi, warmest greetings from Manila's finest, Fur Patrol! "Great Leap Forward" is a gem! You guys remind us of 90's indie groups/artists like Throwing Muses, Tanya Donelly, etc! More power & God bless you!
