Shocking Pinks are a band formed by Nick Harte and based in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Nick Harte has been in New Zealand bands such as CM Ensemble, Hiatus, The Incisions, Montessouri, Laudanum, Luxor Dance Ensemble, Urinator, Solaa, The Brunettes and Pig Out. The band has been signed to New York City based record label DFA Records. The band released a self-titled album on DFA in September 2007, which is primarily a compilation of tracks from the two Flying Nun releases "Mathematical Warfare" and "Infinity Land", though it also includes two previously unreleased tracks, and all tracks were remastered by DFA for the release.[1] Preceding the album release a series of vinyl singles were released, beginning with the track "Smoke Screen" featuring a remix by The Glimmers.[2] The first world-wide release single by Shocking Pinks was "End of the World" on October 15.[3]

The Shocking Pinks gigging lineup has featured over sixteen members in line-up changes since its inception in late 2003, often due to personal or creative differences within the band. Shocking Pinks have played live with members of New Zealand bands such as Leper Ballet, Pig Out, The Enright House and the Tiger Tones.

The 2009 Lineup of the Shocking Pinks features Tim McDonald and former D4 bass guitarist Vaughan Williams.
