The Enemy, Toy Love and Tall Dwarfs are among the bands that Kiwi music legend Chris Knox founded.
He was a firebrand instigator of early punk in Dunedin, where he took the stage by storm, known for full-on performances, sometimes involving him injuring himself.
It was Chris Knox's four track machine that recorded most of the early Flying Nun label's singles.
Knox is also an artist, satirist, cartoonist, writer and critic - and widely known for his wicked sense of humour.
In 2009, he had a stroke which left him paralysed on his right side, without most of his voice.
Craig Robertson grew up in Dunedin and was a huge fan of Flying Nun records and the Dunedin Sound.
He was slightly too young to have seen Chris Knox in concert himself in those big punk years.
He's written a definitive biography of Knox, named after his best known song Not Given Lightly.
