	Knox Overstreet - Dead Poets Society Movie Philosophy: Death of a Romantic
		Knox was the lucky one of the romantics, as the only "authority figure" he came into contact with was Chet, and Chet really wasn't much of the authority figure that Mr.
		Chris obviously does like the attention Knox gives her, and in the end, holds his hand at the play.
		Everything Knox did was based on his feelings for a girl that he knew as "Chris." This must be stressed, as who the girl "Chris" actually was is unknown to him.

		knox then set about forming the utterly eclectic and thoroughly low-tech tall dwarfs with his fellow former toy love buddy, guitarist alec bathgate - the whimsy to his destructionary element and a high quality song-writer in his own right.
		'not given lightly' could be called the apex of knox's career - his most commercial success and his most oft referred and covered 'classic' song, it's also well-documented as his very first love song (and some would point out that his wife barbara had certainly deserved one by the time of its release..).
		so into the 90s knox stride as an icon of the new zealand music scene, alternating between the tall dwarfs and his own solo albums, just as his journalistic side was starting to bloom.

	TrouserPress.com :: Chris Knox
		Chris Knox is the godfather of the New Zealand alternative-music scene — if Iggy Pop, Joan Jett, Robyn Hitchcock and Lou Reed were all the same person, that's how important he is to Kiwi pop.
		Knox sings in Tall Dwarfs most of the time, but the group is a full-fledged collaboration with Bathgate; their records are very different from Knox's solo records, with ultra-weird arrangements (often dominated by their signature loops of deeply unconventional percussion) and subtler, trickier songs.
		Knox's unique weirdness is back ("Lament of the Gastropod," "Chemicals Are Our Friends"), his social-conscience lyrics are on the mark and rarely heavy-handed, his words have never been cleverer (check out the frenetic babble of "A Song to Welcome the Onset of Maturity"), his gift for simple, flawless melodies has never gone away.

		Chris Knox is the central figure in New Zealand rock'n'roll, the man from whom almost everything since 1977 flows from.
		Chris Knox ended up a confronting lo fi singer songwriter, in between forming the new wave pop Toy Love, and doubled as one half of Tall Dwarfs, a psychedelic version of the solo Chris Knox.
		Knox was raised by adoptive parents in Invercargill, the southernmost city in New Zealand, and significantly, around the same time, discovered the family piano and his Super-9 camera.

	Chris Knox: Reviews, Discography, Audio Clips, and more \|\|\| Music.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Knox has had an ample opportunity to work alone given that he and Bathgate, because of their different living circumstances, are usually only able to record together for short, infrequent bursts of time.
		Undoubtedly Knox's solo albums are more personal in nature than his group projects, yet in all honesty it can be difficult to find much difference between them and the Tall Dwarfs [+] records.
		Within each Knox solo record there is a great deal of diversity, although it must be cautioned that there isn't a notable difference in approach from recording to recording.

	Chris Knox (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		Possibly the most important figure in New Zealand alternative/indie/post-punk rock, Chris Knox has been an integral figure of three of the country's more important rock bands (Tall Dwarfs, Toy Love, the Enemy), as well as recording prolifically as a solo artist.
		Although Knox has worked with Bathgate on Tall Dwarfs records since the early '80s, he has also maintained a less active, but ongoing, solo career in which he writes, performs, and records without Bathgate's assistance.
		Undoubtedly Knox's solo albums are more personal in nature than his group projects, yet in all honesty it can be difficult to find much difference between them and the Tall Dwarfs records.

	Chris Knox: Beat - PopMatters Music Review
		He continues to be a co-conspirator with Alec Bathgate in Tall Dwarfs and, rivaling Howard Stern for the title "King of All Media," Knox is also known for his work as a music and TV critic, a magazine editor, and a comic-strip artist.
		And on top of all that, of course, Chris Knox is an accomplished performer in his own right.
		Knox strays, inevitably, into rock territory on "Denial Song" and "I Wanna Look Like Darcy Clay." The real winner, though, is the epic "Ghost," a track that bounces and grinds along like a stripped-down "Lust for Life," complete with warped horns.

	MySpace.com - Chris Knox & The Nothing - Auckland, NZ - Alternative / Pop / Punk - ...
		Chris turns his extremely able (if slightly unhinged) mind to film, video, comix, writing and criticism in a variety of regular outlets, including his country's leading magazines and national television networks.
		Chris, aided in recent years by his partner Barbara Ward, has been making videoclips to accompany Dwarfs' records since day one as well as for his solo stuff and the odd other band-including a decidedly low-tech vid for Flying Nun's first single, Tally Ho by The Clean.
		Add in Chris' reputation as a wonderful live performer, fond of terrifying forays into the myriad sacrosanct personal spaces that make up the average audience, capable of surreal lyrical and ear-shattering instrumental extemporisation (though he's never claimed to be anything other than barely competent on any instrument).

	Chris Knox: Beat: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-28)
		You may remember Chris Knox from his old band, the Tall Dwarfs, as they were spawned from the same New Zealand indie label, Flying Nun, as the Verlaines, the Chills, and the Clean.
		Knox, however, is no longer notorious for onstage self-laceration (he used to carve himself up with whatever jagged objects happened to be lying around); at 47, he rarely puts himself under the knife anymore.
		The subject matter Knox tackles is, on the surface, what you might expect of a mad genius pushing 50: twisted love songs, ruminations on aging, human nature, mortality.

	earpollution live reviews - issue 2.1Ø, october 2ØØØ
		What you come for is the "Chris Knox experience," which includes one guy, his oddly shaped guitar, Madonna-like headset, drum loops and a whole lot of banter.
		In between antics, Chris threw in a lot of tunes from his most recent album, Beat (Thirsty Ear Records), a collection of twisted bubblegum folk and fuzzed-up weirdo pop that, oddly enough, may be one of the smartest "feel-good" albums of the year.
		Knox never sacrifices irony for sincerity, and conversely his sentimentalism is threaded with the proper amount of venom.

		Seizure that he's not afraid to mix things up a little (if not a lot) when it comes to genre and style.
		The album even has its own version of Knox's most well-known song -'Not Given Lightly' - where he recycles the well-known strumming pattern and guitar sound of the older track to play backing for the slightly less optimistic tune 'World Without a Sun'.
		One notable develoment on this release is Knox's use of a 'proper' band (his first since Toy Love, a quarter of a century ago).

	SPACE CITY ROCK: Live -- Yo La Tengo/Chris Knox
		On the other hand, there was Chris Knox, a New Zealander and formerly half of the revered Tall Dwarfs who opened up the show.
		A few days earlier, I had Napsterized a few of his tracks and was not terribly hopeful, but when he stepped onstage in his tank top, here-and-there mustache, a headset mic and a pair of rubber sandals, the outlook improved.
		Knox taught the two of them and the rest of the audience his closing tune and went down to the floor to incite happiness throughout the venue.

	Ink 19 :: Chris Knox
		What you should know about Chris Knox: He is, in some way, shape or form, responsible for just about every interesting sound you've ever heard come out New Zealand.
		Chris, I believe, has not one bone of pretension in his 48-year-old body, and is the least self-conscious performer I have ever seen take a stage.
		Chris alternated between playing and storytelling for about two hours, and he treated the crowd like we were all old friends.

	Splendid E-zine reviews: Chris Knox
		You can't lump Chris Knox in with the rest of the New Zealand contingent.
		Knox works with only the essential details, trusting your ears and imagination to flesh out the sound.
		Beat seems to be a bit of a concept album, addressing affairs of the heart on the lyrical side while tinkering with tempo on the mechanical front.

	The History of Rock Music. Tall Dwarfs: biography, discography, reviews, links
		Il loro repertorio, quasi interamente registrato a casa di Chris Knox, contiene pochi brani davvero memorabili, ma lo spirito rigorosamente indipendente e anti-commerciale della loro operazione inebrio` un'intera generazione di musicisti.
		Il terzo album solista di Knox, Croaker (Flying Nun, 1991), di nuovo all'insegna di una canzone rock ancor piu` regolare, lo presenta nei panni di un Robyn Hitchcock tanto prolifico quanto amatoriale, intento a dare freneticamente alle stampe il materiale casalingo ma anche sinceramente occupato a dibattere temi sociali importanti (Liberal Backlash Angst).
		Knox perviene cosi a un'opera-sproloquio (70 minuti) come Polyphoto, Duck Shaped Pain and Gum (Flying Nun, 1993), contenente (rispettivamente) registrazioni di qualche anno prima, un album di materiale nuovo (fra cui l'orecchiabile Under The Influence e la bizzarra Trim Milk) e l'EP Gum.

		They become hugely successful, record 3 singles, 1 L.P., spend five months in Australia (which doesn't really come to grips with the Toy Love attitude) come back to N.Z. greatly disillusioned by the "music industry" and, at the peak of their limited fame, break up...
		Alec Bathgate (GTR) + Chris Knox (vocals) both in Auckland begin to noodle around on Knox's elderly teac 3340-5 4.
		A working title for this sorta summing-up disc was to be "a history of rock'n'roll" which pretty much describes the album.

		Chris Knox began the late report by reminding readers that he has not been totally critical of Heston, who replaced his father Neal Knox as First Vice President of the NRA.
		In the report, Knox described Heston's encounter with Tony Snow on CNN Sunday news as a "softball interview", and said that Heston did better than anyone else could have done in a hostile interview conducted by Tim Russert on NBC's Meet The Press.
		Regarding Heston's two Sunday interviews Knox said; "The only thing I would criticize is that he agreed with Sarah Brady's line that there are extremists in NRA -- and since he has repeatedly said I'm an extremist, without ever saying why or how, I resent it.

	Chris Knox & The Tall Dwarfs Discography - Slipcue E-Zine
		Knox is one of the world's most insistent champions of the virtues of imperfection -- in life, in love, in music, and in our perceptions of the world around us.
		But for Knox, love is not a redemptive, magical force fit for primetime TV, it's just something to insist on and cherish while the assholes of the world knock on your door and leave marketing calls on your answering machine.
		Knox holds a few tracks in reserve, such as the scathing indictment of the healthcare (and social) system which is hidden after ten minutes of silence...
