Pikachunes are back on the blog. I've had this clip in mind for awhile. Miles McDougall has been quietly building an international profile in his own niche, with very little awareness at home, which seems de rigueur for talented New Zealand musicians who don't follow the standard dub, pub rock (sometime D&B) fusion model. Rather than getting too bitter about that, it is a small country and I suppose we just don't have the population to support those that take an alternative creative road - not that Pikachunes is exactly radical. The historical influences are obvious. Miles executes well though, and the omnipresent irony is what I like best about his work. I won't go on...there is a good interview with Miles at this link: http://fishpork.com/2011/10/13/the-only-boy-at-the-party-an-interview-with-pikachunes/ .
