Artist Overview

Auckland band the Headless Chickens went against the grain of the Dunedin Sound that dominated the Flying Nun roster at the time, by making extensive use of beats and electronica. The band won the Rheineck Rock Award in 1987, and the prize money funded their innovative (for its use of sampling) debut album Stunt Clown. Singer Fiona McDonald joined the band in the early 90s, and it was during this time that they attracted their widest audience. The Headless Chickens split up in 1998, but in 2008 performed reunion gigs in Australia and NZ.
