The Knobz - Culture

[PrimxInxTeal]

I watched this because I thought of 'unfavorable' prime ministers and I decided I like this very much!

[nzrockofages]

I was 10 when this came out and I loved it. I loved the balls of a band taking the piss out of the tyrant that was Muldoon. I distinctly remember them giving him a copy on the steps of parliament and him saying he'd "give it a spin" on the stereo. I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when he played it! Great song from a period of awakening in the New Zealand media and culture, and is (criminally) almost forgotten today.

me and a mate went bck to their room when the played a local gig .. they gave us all sorts of free stuff and were bloody nice lads :-)

[TheNationalistParty]

Great, man hope you upload the whole song one day

[mozasaur]

[ZenWolfDances]

I remember dancing to this song at our school social around 1980.

[mutto82]

[novalee66]

OMG shame shame I had this LP LOL, absolute gold mate. Wow theings you remember.

[Ngapare]

Great to see this again! I remember seeing them live in Wellington (early 80's)? Rob Muldoon was invited and turned up... if only breifly.

[vinto34]

awesome didnt know there was a vid for this

[noDsliw]

Nominated 'best song ever written' on Radio NZ this afternoon. I just had to find it on the tube!

[hondacrff]

Go the Knobz!!! classic !!

[CarebearCountdowns]

Kevin Fogarty was my intermediate school music teacher, he was a bit of a slacker but he certainly knew his stuff, and he liked to boast about his days in the band. Never forgave him for replacing me in a school production however, I was the best viking out there, damn it!

[Subtropix]

Absolutely brilliant, I have two copies of this single and one goes on Trademe tomorrow. Fill your boots

[lawrencefinn]

Gawd I loved this band and I was only 10. Still have a copy of the LP as well. Gotta go look for Blam Blam Blam now!

[fatboy996]

Kevin Fogarty (the short lead singer) was my landlord of a flat out at Tomahawk in Dunedin, that was in the mid to late eigthies and then got him to play when I got married at Lanarch Castle in good old Dunners and he did us a version of "Culture" at the end of the night. Top bloke, I understand he is based in Auckland these days.

If you read this, Hi Kevin, remember 304 Tomahawk?

[autumnbubz5]

Who remembers The Knobz when they were just called Roxy Lox ??? that's the way ha ha ha, oi bend over and pick that up !!!!!!I'm an ex Mosgiel boy too............

[BrittEva2003]

Fantastic! Go the Knobz! We need more....

[oldludwig]

Great stuff... more Knobz please. They did several great videos - maybe TVNZ archives has some live footage - I remember seeing them at Sweetwaters Festival and they were a fantastic live act. Where are these guys now I wonder, possibly one of the few acts that haven't cashed in on the "reformed" band wagon.

[quogirl1]

I just have to add when this was released I was around 15 years old and it was a crime to pay so much money for a 45 record, WOW times have changed lol

[quogirl1]

thank you for posting this, so proud to be a Kiwi

[quogirl1]

these blokes were such hotties, go us the kiwiw

[80skiwi]

Ha, (Muldoon cackle)great to see this posted. I was 13 when this vid was released. The Band looks so fresh faced to me now!! Oh dear, I'm getting old. National didn't have a mandate to govern after 81.I actually miss the likes of Muldoon now.

[littlemascot]

go mr forgerty

{woot} {woot}

ROSKILL WAT

[glenncavaye]

Nice one, thanks! Its a shame that most people only remember the Knobz for this song which is not to me that representative of their other excellent music. A shame that they released so little...

[proudlyatheist]

I havent seen this in years. Thanks heaps. Can you upload the whole video?

[puhoi61]

Sorry, but that's all I had :(

[quogirl1]
