Flying Nun Records celebrates its thirtieth anniversary in November 2011. As well as shows by The Bats, The Clean, Ghost Club and HDU there will be appearances by newer signings Surf Friends, T54 and F In Math amongst others. To mark the occasion, here's two previously unseen photos, both taken in 1986 when the label was barely five years old. We were enjoying the sampling, sequencers, sound manipulation and visuals of Fetus Productions (Jed Town, above) and the Headless Chickens (Michael Lawry, below). These two bands released some of the best music to appear on Flying Nun. Timeless Fetus Productions songs like ‘Desert Lands’ and ‘What’s Going On’ from Fetalmania were already established favourites, and great tracks like 'Flicker' and 'Classical' appeared on the 1986 Luminous Trails LP. The three-piece Headless Chickens were ferocious live, and had a compelling and unique set of songs including ‘Monkeyjar’ and 'Do The Headless Chicken'.
