Biography

Noise rock unit Snapper was led by singer/guitarist Peter Gutteridge, an unsung hero of the New Zealand pop scene whose résumé included stints as a founding member of both the Clean and the Chills. Snapper evolved from the lineup of another Gutteridge-led band, the Dunedin-based Phromes, and the lineup featured on the group's excellent self-titled 1988 debut EP included organist Christine Voice, guitarist Dominic Stones, and drummer Alan Haig. The LP Shotgun Blossom followed in 1991, and appeared to strong reviews; after the subsequent departure of Stones, Gutteridge's ex-Clean mate David Kilgour stepped in to assume guitar chores, and with the exit of Haig, former Toy Love drummer Mike Dooley signed on as well. After a 1994 single, "Vader," Snapper was effectively reduced to a duo, with only Gutteridge and Dooley remaining; together they recorded ADM, issued on Flying Nun in early 1996. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Snapper was a New Zealand indie/alternative band formed by Peter Gutteridge, previously in The Clean, The Chills and The Great Unwashed.

Gutteridge started out solo on a 4-track with input from Alan Haig and Dominic Stones (who went on to the 3Ds). He did a solo show supporting the Delawares, which drew Christine Voice to join and make the project a proper band.

Buddy from the bands self-titled debut EP became an indie classic.
