A chance encounter with Flying Nun’s spiritual guru, Chris Knox, led to a one-off deal with the label that resulted in a five-song EP, ‘Lost Persons Area’. Moving to London in 1986 the fabled “Flying Nun sound” began making an impact outside New Zealand. The release of near-perfect compilations by The Clean and The Chills except Dead Famous People were a little early for that buzz. Stumbling into a deal with Utility Records, Billy Bragg and legendary manager Pete Jenner. Dons later started singing with new combo, Saint Etienne, her vocals feature on the original version of their cover version hit, ‘Kiss And Make Up’, as well as a cover of Gil Scott-Heron’s ‘Winter In America’. Around this same time, Martin Phillipps of The Chills asked Dons requested she sing on ‘Heavenly Pop Hit’. Dons soon returned home to Auckland without an outlet for her music, three decades later Fire tracked her down and the rest is history. Now set to release her new album ‘Harry’, it’s more philosophical than her earlier work. It feels like the right one for a world of apocalyptic pandemic, uncertainty and quarantine. Dons’ power over melody and knack for profundity remains unchanged since Dead Famous People’s original incarnation. A rare record in a time of musical factionalism and a world divided into camps of willful obscurity and grotesque mockeries of stardom and art, it’s a document of unadorned perfection. “Bob bought a DFP single which we both really liked, we were drawn to the mystery of the band’s name and the melancholy tone of Dons’ voice.” Pete Wiggs – Saint Etienne “There was a sense of excitement that something special was happening.” Martin Phillipps – The Chills Artist Dead Famous People Genre Rock And Pop Label Fire Records Buying Options 1LP Format 1LP Condition New Country UK Track Listings Side A A1 Looking At Girls A2 Goddess Of Chill A3 Safe And Sound A4 Turn On The Light A5 Dead Birds Eye Side B B6 Groovy Girl B7 The Great Unknown B8 Dog B9 To Be Divine B10 Harry Share this On Facebook On Twitter Via Email More from Rock And Pop View Product Quick View Say She She & Jim Spencer Wrap Myself Up In Your Love Rock And Pop | Numero Group | 7", Coloured Vinyl, Single Released 19th April 2024 £8.00 - £9.00 Select options Say She She & Jim Spencer Wrap Myself Up In Your Love £8.00 - £9.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Numero Group Formats: 7", Coloured Vinyl, Single Released Date: 19th April 2024 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Bruce Springsteen Human Touch Rock And Pop | Columbia | 2LP Released 29th October 2018 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bruce Springsteen Human Touch £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Columbia SKU: 88985460141 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 29th October 2018 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Weatherbox The Cosmic Drama Rock And Pop | Topshelf | 2LP Released 18th September 2015 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Weatherbox The Cosmic Drama £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Topshelf SKU: TSR1241PMI Formats: 2LP Released Date: 18th September 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Florence & The Machine Dance Fever: Live At Madison Square Garden Rock And Pop | UMC | 2LP Released 14th April 2023 £33.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Florence & The Machine Dance Fever: Live At Madison Square Garden £33.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 4524670 Formats: 2LP Released Date: 14th April 2023 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Joss Stone Water For Your Soul Rock And Pop | Stoned Records | 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released 5th August 2015 £21.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Joss Stone Water For Your Soul £21.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Stoned Records SKU: STONE00112 Formats: 180g, 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve, Includes Download Code Released Date: 5th August 2015 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Mac DeMarco This Old Dog Rock And Pop | Captured Tracks | 1LP Released 5th May 2017 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Mac DeMarco This Old Dog £19.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Captured Tracks SKU: CT260LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th May 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Nearly New View Product Quick View Nice, The Elegy Progressive | Charisma | 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 14th July 2022 £8.00 Add to basket Reserve View Reservations Nice, The Elegy £8.00 Genre: Progressive Label: Charisma SKU: nn246072 Formats: 1LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 14th July 2022 Reserve View Reservations Read More Add to basket View Product Quick View Steve Winwood Arc Of A Diver Rock And Pop | UMC | 180g, 1LP Released 13th February 2017 £18.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Steve Winwood Arc Of A Diver £18.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: UMC SKU: 5719708 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 13th February 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Big Search Life Dollars Rock And Pop | 30TH Century Records | 1LP Released 6th January 2017 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Big Search Life Dollars £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: 30TH Century Records SKU: 88985343581 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 6th January 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Lottery Winners, The Something To Leave The House For Rock And Pop | Modern Sky | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 3rd December 2021 £20.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Lottery Winners, The Something To Leave The House For £20.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Modern Sky SKU: M4738UKLPX Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 3rd December 2021 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders See more in Rock And Pop Start again
