Fur Patrol

Fur Patrol were a New Zealand rock band, which formed in Wellington in May 1996 by Andrew Bain on bass guitar, Simon Braxton on drums, Julia Deans on lead vocals and guitar, and Steve Wells on lead guitar. Their debut studio album, Pet (September 2000) reached No. 7 on the Official Aotearoa Music Albums Chart. It provided their number-one hit, "Lydia" (2000) and two top 40 hits "Andrew" and "Spinning a Line" (both 2001). They relocated to Melbourne, Australia in 2001 and issued their second studio album, Collider (2003). In the following year, Wells left Fur Patrol. The three-piece line-up released a third album, Local Kid (2008) before disbanding. The group undertook a reunion tour in 2016.
