The Chills - Another New Zealand band, again from the Flying Nun label. Early in their career, they brought their first single (Rolling Moon) to a Dunedin radio station, hoping they would promote it. The radio station wouldn't play it, saying "it's not what we like to play", or something like that. When they did make it in NZ (without any real support), they went to the UK to get more exposure. They got support from John Peel, but journalists would refer to sheep jokes instead of their music when writing about them. So, they didn't really get any succes outside of NZ, but listening to their best of, I really think they deserved more.
