EN CAN MA

Approximate time period - 1982 - 1984.
A very strange band but also strangely good. These guys had some connection with the Auckland group the Features. Guitarist / Singer Ljinon shared a similar shard-like guitar style and vocal approach to the Features.
The band had some sort of abstract art thing going and could either be really good or bloody awful depending on the night.
They featured Vince Pinker on Bass Guitar, who later went on to be part of the resurrected Gordons (sans Alistair Parker), and a few drummers.
"Eat Shit" was actually quite cool to watch live and I remember watching Ljinon playing the guitar stabs in this song and slicing his fingers on the guitar strings, bleeding all over his guitars white scratch plate. At the end of the song he asked the bemused audience if anyone has a band aid. No one did.
