The Cannanes Concert History

Coming from Sydney and formed in 1984, The Cannanes were an indie pop band associated with K Records and several Flying Nun acts. Today they enjoy a cult like following, described by some as 'the world's most indie band' because- despite never having a manager, agent, or signing a formal record deal- they have toured the world and produced a sizable discography. Kurt Cobain notably listed them as a band he liked in his journals.
