SOOO MANY fine bands came out of New Zealand and it's sad that too many Americans are only familiar with Split Enz. By the way, I wish you;d played MORE of

D.D. Smash!

NZ radio programming is done by corporate shills. I remember in 1990 when 'Can't Touch This' was released stations just played it on high rotate til it charted. It took six months.

I also worked in a record store where it was standard practice to rig the chart returns to get more airplay for singles we had too many of in stock.

I still have the Dance Exponents and Legionnaires gigs on Vinyl!! Just transferred to MP3.

Its a shame NZ radio mostly refused to play these bands - not even songs like "Poi E" and and "Don't Dream its over" were played until they were popular elsewhere!
