Dead People
​I Have Known: 
​Shayne Carter


Presented by BrandAid






Picture
Indie-rock legend Shayne Carter (best known for his bands Straitjacket Fits and Dimmer) will talk about his new autobiography, Dead People I Have Known. Shihad’s Jon Toogood gave the book this verdict: “Sometimes profound. Sometimes utterly hilarious. I couldn’t put this book down. A triumph.” Carter will talk about his stellar music career, the Dunedin Sound, his love of sport, growing up in Dunedin, and everything in between. Chaired by Carter’s former driving student Steve Braunias.
