Tauranga number-8 wire minimalist duo Flogging a Dead One Horse Town (FADOHT) and Auckland high-tempo noise trio REPAIRS have joined forces to release a 7” split lathe cut.
Initially conceived as a way to support Peter King through an order of lathe cuts, the EP includes each band doing a cover version of one of the other’s tracks – without ever having heard the original. Sending the other a track to cover with only the song’s name, lyrics and a couple of guitar chords via email, both bands had total creative freedom to interpret the track how they saw fit. Flogging a Dead One Horse Town have taken on the REPAIRS’ track “Boxer”, while REPAIRS’ rendition of “Shits” is now more modestly called “Shirts”.
