In the mid-1990s, the Village Voice described Chris Knox as 'indie rock's premier oddball singer songwriter' and, when Knox suffered a stroke a decade later, music icons such as Yo La Tengo, Bill Callahan, Neil Finn and Shayne Carter all showed up for concerts and a tribute album. Who is this epileptic, opinionated, shorts-and-jandals-wearing, endlessly creative musician and artist from New Zealand? This is his story - from a childhood in 'flat, rectangular and boring' Invercargill to years of creative experimentation in Dunedin to family life in Auckland; from The Enemy's first gig at Dunedin's Beneficiaries Hall to Toy Love's tour of Australia and on to Tall Dwarfs' escapades around the globe; from tape loops and crashing cutlery recorded on a TEAC 4-track to the biting satire of Jesus on a Stick comics and Listener opinion pieces; and from home-recorded LPs delivered by hand to the ubiquitous voice on ads for Vogels and Heineken. Chris Knox: Not Given Lightly tells the story of one extraordinarily creative man's journey from the obscurity of punk rock to the heart of New Zealand culture.
