Flying Nun Special with DJ Karl (part 2)

DJ Karl is back at The Pig on the seafront on Saturday 14 November, with a night dedicated to the cult Kiwi label Flying Nun. It's the second part of a Flying Nun special, so if you caught the first one, this is the follow-up.

For those who aren't familiar, Flying Nun is the legendary independent label from New Zealand that defined a whole era of the South Pacific's indie scene. It's the label that gave the world The Clean, The Chills and The Verlaines, and it's known for that particular brand of jangling, slightly off-kilter guitar pop that's as melodic as it is idiosyncratic. Karl's set will be built around that catalogue, so expect a night of New Zealand's finest indie exports.

It's a DJ and club night, so the focus is on the records rather than a live band. Karl will be digging through the Flying Nun archives, pulling out the tracks that made the label a cult favourite in the first place. If you've spent any time with the label's history, you'll know it's a deep one, and this is a good chance to hear those songs played out in a room with other people rather than on your own headphones.

The night kicks off at 19:00 at The Pig, right on the seafront in Hastings, and entry is free. With the music starting early, it's one you can ease into.
