Thanks for posting, but I remember seeing this in Christchurch when it first aired and being disgusted that the entire alt-rock scene was ignored in favour of professional  nightclub covers acts and their slick promoters. Hell, surely the Axemen, Scorched Earth Policy, No Idea, the Triffids, the Onset-Offset label etc. was more to do with 'Christchurch rock 1984' than a bunch of lounge-bar entertainers who played the sort of slop you could hear in every other meat-market bar in the country.

I was wondering if it was the verlaines or if you could just tell me the song name. It's been bothering me for like an hour.

[jpsnz]

Hey. I'm sorry. I was just seeing if the comment thing was working. Alright so in the ver beginning of the vid, there's this great song. It's got the jangly guitar. I think it's beautiful. I was wondering if you knew what the song was called, or if anyone knows the song? Is it the verlaines, or
