Dominion Road (song)

An alternate video was later produced in the United Kingdom, featuring the band performing Dominion Road inside an old armoury building in London.

[5] Despite a lukewarm reception upon release, Dominion Road became a mainstay of 1990s New Zealand alternative rock, and helped contribute to the growing Auckland indie scene separate from the prevailing Dunedin sound.

Dominion Road has been covered by numerous New Zealand artists, including Dave Dobbyn, Nadia Reid and Towers.

[8][9] In 2013, an unknown artist installed a brass plaque in the footpath approximately halfway down Dominion Road in honour of the song, in order to coincide with events on the street as part of the Auckland Arts Festival.

However, changes to the road layout and discrepancies with the music video have led to debate as to where the halfway point described in the song actually is.
