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 Bill Callahan Have Fun With God Reggae / Dub / Ska | Drag City | 1LP Released 5th February 2014 £15.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Bill Callahan Have Fun With God £15.00 Genre: Reggae / Dub / Ska Label: Drag City SKU: DC571 Formats: 1LP Released Date: 5th February 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Belief Belief Rock And Pop | Lex Records | 1LP Released 26th August 2022 £22.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Belief Belief £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Lex Records SKU: LEX163LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 26th August 2022 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View John Metcalfe Tree Rock And Pop | Real World Records | 1LP, Includes Download Code Released 22nd September 2023 £25.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders John Metcalfe Tree £25.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Real World Records SKU: LPRW250 Formats: 1LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 22nd September 2023 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Morrissey Jacky’s Only Happy When She’s Up On The Stage / You’ll Be Gone Rock And Pop | BMG Rights Management | 7", Single Released 27th October 2017 £7.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Morrissey Jacky’s Only Happy When She’s Up On The Stage / You’ll Be Gone £7.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: BMG Rights Management SKU: 4050538351552 Formats: 7", Single Released Date: 27th October 2017 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Madness Absolutely Rock And Pop | Size 12 Records | 10", 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released 23rd July 2010 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Madness Absolutely £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Size 12 Records SKU: SIZE1002 Formats: 10", 2LP, Gatefold Sleeve Released Date: 23rd July 2010 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Boards Of Canada The Campfire Headphase Electronica | Warp | 2LP, Includes Download Code Released 21st October 2013 £19.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Boards Of Canada The Campfire Headphase £19.00 Genre: Electronica Label: Warp SKU: WARPLP123R Formats: 2LP, Includes Download Code Released Date: 21st October 2013 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Eva Cassidy Time After Time Rock And Pop | Blix St | 180g, 1LP Released 25th November 2014 £23.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Eva Cassidy Time After Time £23.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Blix St SKU: G8-10173 Formats: 180g, 1LP Released Date: 25th November 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Ava Max Heaven & Hell Rock And Pop | Atlantic | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 18th December 2020 £22.00 Select options Ava Max Heaven & Hell £22.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Atlantic Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 18th December 2020 Read More Select options View Product Quick View Grant Hart Good News For Modern Man Rock And Pop | Wienerworld | 1LP Released 10th March 2014 £14.00 Back Order View Pre/Back Orders Grant Hart Good News For Modern Man £14.00 Genre: Rock And Pop Label: Wienerworld SKU: MVD6101LP Formats: 1LP Released Date: 10th March 2014 Read More Back Order View Pre/Back Orders View Product Quick View Jason Molina Eight Gates Americana / Country | Secretly Canadian | 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released 7th August 2020 £19.00 Select options Jason Molina Eight Gates £19.00 Genre: Americana / Country Label: Secretly Canadian Formats: 1LP, Coloured Vinyl Released Date: 7th August 2020 Read More Select options See more in Rock And Pop Start again
