Chainsaw Masochist


Despite their bloodcurdling name, Chainsaw Masochist wasn’t one of the legion of noisy, angry bands on the rise in the late 80s/early 90s.

Instead, the Auckland four-piece purveyed a more wistful, bittersweet sound – and weren’t afraid to augment their guitar, bass and drums with piano, cello and accordion.
