Bored Games Profile
A punky footnote in NZ’s alt-rock timeline, Bored Games was the high school band of Shayne Carter, who would go on to stamp his mark with Straitjacket Fits and Dimmer.
While attending Kaikorai Valley High School in Dunedin, Shayne Carter formed Bored Games with Wayne Elsey, Fraser Batts, Jonathan Moore and Jeff Harford.
