Yep, New Zealand had punks although the social issues that underpinned punk in the UK weren’t quite as evident in NZ.
To understand why, watch Outrageous Fortune.
Still, punk took root among BA and art students and others who were happy to challenge the sheep-like (boom boom) mentality at the time.
It was a time when straight jeans, a spiky hair cut, and a white t-shirt was enough to cause shock on provincial streets.
Can’t find Megatron anywhere – it had a brilliant verse that reflected the fact that growing up in the 1960′s and 1970′s the spectre of nuclear war still hang around:
Told what to do by the megatron
So you may as while die while you’re having fun
Anyway, nothing nuclear going off here but Saturday Night Stay At Home did.
NB Supported by Toy Love who merit further focus on their own.
