[daveo26]

Wow how old was Perry here? How on earth did he come from this to Dead Can Dance?

[jvolume]

bperry was 17 here. DCD came about 2 or 3 years later... Shane (drummer from a band called Microfilm) arrived with his singer Lisa Gerrad.

That specialXXXXthing happened when she took Ronnie's hand and read his palm. A day or so later MGs left for an NZ tour and fell apart.

Back in melbourne Ronnie reverted to Bperry, moved to Nth melb. with Lisa and with Des Hefner on drums and Paul Erikson on bass began DCD.

I remember a girl from Zwines called Gail Force. I used to fancy her desperately. She was knocking off Bones from the Assassins (used to be in Sub Reps and later the Swingers). Any relation? Dean Martelli had his wicked way as well. I was a jealous young man in those days. Was a treat just to talk to her though.

classic punk rock. i remember years ago listening to AK79, the compilation of aukland punk from 1979 with this song on it. beautiful punk rock which seems to have been for the most part overlooked cos no-one knows what's happening in new zealand. almost the same as in australia, (where i am from) but we seemed to have gotten a bit more recognition. pity cos nz punk was and is as good as anywahere else in the world.

Cool to read input from Mr.Volume himself ! Excellent times at Zwines but a bastard when the "faggots in pseudo tapa" from babes decided to flex cock - truth be known- taro down the lycra!

[Buggerlugz000]

Came across these blokes in and around Auckland in the capacity of the author's- shall we say occupation. Went to Zwines one night & had the best night / morning in me then 22 years of life. Became ressonably pissed of with the "disco bunnies" from babes (?) chocolate factory when one particularly "brave" snotgobbler pushed a girl (Zwines patron) over. Needless to say the "fulla" got a kickin'- albeit covertly.
