Thanks to Hamish Kilgour and Simon Sean Coffey for this visual slice of New Zealand South Island greatness; the band existed from 1981-84 and featured Roy Montgomery, Ross Humphries (the Great Unwashed/Bailter Space) and Peter Stapleton (who was in the Dead C's Bruce Russell's Handful of Dust). One of the few bands who could pull off versions of the Red Crayola's "Hurrican Fighter Plane" and War's "Low Rider" and put you against the wall with 'em. Theirs was the first ever 7" to be released on Flying Nun. Live versions of "Ambivalence" and "Coat" here, aided by Christchurch poet Desmond Brice.
