Biography
Flying Nun Records EP from Auckland musician Chris McKibbin – featuring contributions from Hallelujah Picassos Robert Pauling (aka Bobbylon) and Peter McLennan, under the name The Bagmen. The Picassos Tony de Raad was also an early member.
The cover song ‘Crawfish for Elvis‘ became a student radio hit on bFM. The group split after the EP release in 1991 as McKribbin grew tired of playing 2nd fiddle to the increasingly popular Picassos, he would then form the largely improvisational group Steam, and was a contributor to Voom in their early stages.
