Larry Killip: an under-the-radar icon of NZ music history

RNZ - All Programmes

Lynfield-based Larry Killip describes himself as "possibly the most famous person that you have never heard of". With a musical career stretching back to the mid-60s, Killip's first band The Zarks was formed with a few high school buddies. Since then he's continued to write and perform in various iterations, but the work most people would be familiar with is the hundreds of jingles Killip has written - for everything from Columbine stockings to Skyline Gottages. He joins Colin Peacock to reflect on his unusual career, his work with indie pop darlings The Beths, and his ever-growing collection of vintage gear and ephemera.
