Wednesday, June 20, 2012  New Zealand's Opossum Releasing Debut,
Download "Blue Meanies" Now  Photo by Owen Behan  This past
weekend, I happened to discover a small little pack of opossums
living underneath my back deck (true story). They were...oh
sorry, wrong opossum write-up. This particular Opossum is a band
from New Zealand, has a lot less hair, is significantly bigger,
and happens to make spacey, '60s psych-tinged pop. The band is
helmed by Kody Nielson, formerly of The Mint Chicks and
occasional touring member of Unknown Mortal Orchestra (he also
happens to be the brother of UMO's Ruben Nielson). Opossum's
debut LP, Electric Hawaii, will be released through Fire Records
on August 7th. Hear and download first single "Blue Meanies"
