Get Well Soon Mr. Knox!
Wishing Chris Knox a speedy recovery.
Sometimes living away from one’s original country, one misses important news. Chris Knox certainly played a big part of my life when I was growing up back in Christchurch. More than anything I love the way he has his own unique style. Playing his casio keyboard on top of an ironing board. Some very wonderful evenings. I remember him at one of the events at Canterbury University thanking the maths club for coming along (well they all had numbers on the back of their jerseys!).
Here is Not Given Lightly. Have always had a soft spot for that song. Reminds of someone who once had dreads.
Get well soon!

yeah, i always liked his videos. they usually cost somewhere in the vicinity of $50 to make! This should give you another example of his live performance style (or lack thereof)… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CH8qsRZ4-kI&feature=related

There is a wild rumour that they will be touring Japan this December.

Yeah, I was pretty shocked to hear about Chris’ health too. I used to live just down the road from him in Grey Lynn and while I wouldn’t call myself a huge fan of his music, he’s made a massive contribution to NZ music, tv and beyond and hearing his music makes me pretty homesick.
If The Homo Jews don’t make it over to Japan (or even if they do!) then you should come to Taiwan and see them. Not only that, Tomer the guitarist makes super good toasted sandwiches!
