The Verlaines
Formed in late 1980, The Verlaines is Graeme Downes' long-standing song-writing vehicle, and one-hell of a brilliant, literate band at that. With the classic early 1980's line-up of Downes on guitar and vocals, Alan Haig on drums and Jane Dodd on bass, the Verlaines released excellent singles such as '10 O'Clock In The Afternoon' from the EP of the same name, and of course their signature tune 'Death And The Maiden', which stands as one of the true kiwi classics. #nzmusic #theverlaines
