The Brunettes
Years Active: 1998 - 2009
Auckland indie pop band The Brunettes made their mark in the early 2000s with a twee, sugar sweet sound, pairing boy-girl vocals with playful melodies inspired by 1960s girl groups.
Overview
Lead Brunettes Jonathan Bree and Heather Mansfield became the poster boy and girl for Kiwi bubblegum pop with the 2002 release of debut album Holding Hands, Feeding Ducks. Signed to label Lil' Chief Records at home, growing international interest saw the band sign with American label Sub Pop (alongside Flight of the Conchords). The Brunettes put out four albums and three EPs, before calling it a day in 2009.
