 Wellington
group who had a sort of angular approach to some of their
music, Ska-like, but also had an appealing
dark edge.
They released the impressive Fishing 7" EP on Ripper
Records. This was followed by another couple of singles
then a lacklustre album on Flying Nun.
The band's mainman was Guitarist / Singer John McLeary
who wrote all the songs.
In their early stages the band featured the brilliant
drumming skills of Caroline Easther. Caroline was later
replaced and the band became more technical and less
moody in their songs and delivery.
Live the band had an intensity about them, but there
was something very Wellington about them that surfaced
every once in a while. That quirky Ska thing perhaps.

Our Time track is from a live performance
at the Gladstone recorded straight to 2 track.
