Features

Auckland post-punk band formed in late 1979 by Jed Town and James Pinker (ex-Superettes) with Karel Van Bergen and Chris Orange. Drawing from PIL, Wire, and no-wave, they provided the stylistic delineation between punk and post-punk in Auckland before disbanding in 1980.

Bizarre but often highly melodic experimental group, one of the first New Zealand outfits to incorporate multimedia elements into their shows and actually classified themselves as a production, creating art shows and (eventually) computer based presentation that encompassed both visual and audible elements.
