From the quiet suburbs of Dunedin, to countless packed venues and then signing with international record labels, indie music icon, Shayne Carter has never been one to follow the rules, and his music shows it.
Life in One Chord chronicles Shane’s early teenage punk ambitions, to then being swept up in the Dunedin sound, forming his first band Straitjacket Fits, and his later self reinvention with Dimmer.
Narrated by Carol Hirschfeld, Life in One Chord fuses candid interviews, extensive archival footage and Carter’s own reflections to capture the grit, chaos, and creativity behind his career and music.
“Dunedin may seem like an unlikely location for a musical revolution, yet it became the locus of an indie music movement that was heard around the world.” – Madman Films
Shayne is playing at The Woodshed, Riverside Drive on Saturday 2nd May.
