THE GORDONS - 'Future Shock'

I was lucky enough to go to The Gordons first and not last, ear-splitting public performance - late 1979/early 1980 (Hillsborough Tavern) from memory and they played this song twice as they only had 4 songs penned at the time, started just a few days before playing support for The Whizz Kids.One of the best live Kiwi bands ever!

I believe you may be interested a band called "Bailter Space" should you not have heard of them already. Same dudes as in the Gordons. I believe they are currently living in New York.

Cheerio

I remember seeing them at the hillsborough community centre (about 1980, did the siphoners support?) only had about 5 songs; identity, paxt, quality control, head injury. For me one of best gigs ever. Never thought the records did justice to those early performances, but I suppose that holds for most nz music from back then.
