Thurstons Shopping Basket
...music fans are aware of it, no matter, Thurston wants it. Its in his little blue book. He wanders off, flicks through the bins, returns with This Kind Of Punishments Beard Of Bees and opens the little blue book again

Children's Hour - live and on record - 1983
Childrens Hour Carolines Dream/ Looking For The Sun Flesh Flying Nun Records 12 EP November 1983
Carolines Dream is harrowing. Its heart of darkness a million miles from the myth of 1980s Auckland. No wonder Childrens Hour - Chris Matthews, Grant Fell, Bevan Sweeney, and Johnny Pearce - were Looking For The Sun

Looney Tours - Hamilton - 1984
...music to Sunday soccer show, The Big Match , before banging into the same ten song set theyd been destroying audiences with up the island

The Johnnies
...music, bald headed Haughey sneered
The little known Johnnies never released another record, and played sparingly around Christchurch throughout 1982/83/84 at the Gladstone, St Asaph St Hall, Caledonian Hall (27 May 1982), PJs (12 June 1982) and the Star & Garter Battle of the Bands
They were billed to play Golden Showers in Wellington, to...
