I remember seeing them at the hillsborough community centre (about 1980, did the siphoners support?) only had about 5 songs; identity, paxt, quality control, head injury. For me one of best gigs ever. Never thought the records did justice to those early performances, but I suppose that holds for most nz music from back then.
Fond memories of them at the Gladstone - especially the week they hired the best PA they could find ($1000 in them days money) for a mere gig fee of $200. Pure noise, no distortion and AWESOMELY LOUD!
at the first gig myself.........was flatting with brent at the time they formed.......from memory....mr Gordon was john or alistar or daves landlord at that time...........also saw midnight oil,the dudes,the crocodiles,alistar riddell,the androids,flight x7 and a heap of other bands at the hillsborough.........easy walk home to opawa
They were pretty good. I liked them a lot. We must have been STUPID to stand through some of their LOUD gigs. I know there are one or two now paying the price for liking it LOUD.Fabulous band.
