THE DUNEDIN SOUND!!
Toy Love was a New Zealand new wave/punk rock band fronted
by Chris Knox. Other members were guitarist Alec Bathgate,
bass player Paul Kean, drummer Mike Dooley, and keyboard
player Jane Walker. The band developed out of the earlier punk
band The Enemy from Dunedin, New Zealand, and are often
regarded as the progenitors of the Dunedin Sound movement.
Toy Love were together for less than two years (1978–80) and
spent a large part of that time in Australia. They released just one
(self-titled) album, however the band members were apparently
appalled by the mixing of the tracks which took the edge off the
band's deliberately raw sound.
After Toy Love broke up, Bathgate and Knox remained together
as the Tall Dwarfs.
In 2012, the band was inducted into the New Zealand Music Hall
of Fame and given the Legacy Award at the Vodafone New
Zealand Music Awards.
