The Mint Chicks powered through the latter part of the first decade of the century with some terrific ‘noise-pop’. Hailing from Auckland the band had a huge year in 2007 and swept the music awards, before promptly re-locating to Portland, Oregon. There have been a few line-up changes but the Nielsons are still the core of the band, and their album released last year, and EP this year show they are still going strong.
And because its nearly the end of the month, a bonus track. The Mint Chicks doing Ray Columbus and the Invaders classic She’s a Mod.
