This is totally newsworthy, Nick H. is a talented dude who actually 
deserves the hype. This ain't the first time he's been reviewed 
positively by Pitchfork, check the review for the Shocking Pinks debut 
2004 release 'Dance The Dance Electric' on Chch label Pinacolada Records 
which got 8.2 out of 10:

This is review is what got DFA first keen on the Shocking Pinks (Franz 
Ferdinand's debut was review same week on Pitchfork and got 7.5. out of 
10) so it's good to see them follow through and support a local artist 
by putting their money where their mouth is.

Also the group that Si to in his post refers to playing the in the Chch 
alleyway with Nick were the Tigertones, look out for them, they are 
wicked..album out Feb 2008. ...www.myspace.com/thetigertones

Anyway, the main point here is I think we should celebrate what's 
happened for the Shocking Pinks as it could be really beneficial to 
other like minded local artists in the NZ scene instead of being bitter 
jealous motherfuckers.

Chch represent!

Tim.
