Before Harry Sinclair moved onto a successful film career and Don McGlashan formed The Mutton Birds, the two founded the iconic Kiwi band The Front Lawn.
In 1989 they released their debut album Songs from the Front Lawn and over the years it has gained "classic" status.
So much so that musician and writer Matthew Bannister has authored a book about the record as part of the popular international book series 33 1/3, each of which explores a significant album.
Songs From The Front Lawn is among the first NZ albums to be included in the long running series, along with Bic Runga's Drive, The Dead C’s Clyma est mort and Alastair Riddell’s Space Waltz.
Matthew is in for this weeks' music feature, he speaks with Susie Ferguson.
