Dunedin Flying Nun band The Chills became known internationally in the early 80s for jangly pop songs 'Pink Frost', 'I Love My Leather Jacket' and 'Heavenly Pop Hit'.

Frontman Martin Phillipps hasn't let his songwriting knack slip though. In 2015 they released the well-received Silver Bullets - their first album in twenty years. They performed at the 2016 NZ Festival, and RNZ Music was there to catch this mix of new songs and old favourites.

Recorded by RNZ at Shed 6, Wellington

Engineer: Darryl Stack
