Auckland's North Shore has been a musical breeding ground dating back to the 60s, 70s and 80s - when Screaming Mee Mees sold 4000 copies of 'See Me Go' in a week and went straight to number one.
Now bands like The Checks, The Veils, White Birds and Lemons and The Electric Confectionaires are keeping the Shore music scene alive. They've been documented in a film called Guitars from the Leafy Suburbs.
Trevor Reekie talks to film maker Julian McCarthy, Ed Knowles and Sven Pettersen from The Checks and record producer Rikki Morris.
