Hell yeah! 78 and 79 were Auckland punk years. Scavengers, Reptiles, Proud Scum, Toy Love....
I was a bit younger than you but from about 80 on was sneaking into places like Reverb Room, Rumba Bar and Mainstreet.
Strangest gig I look back on was Toy Love playing on what must have been a summer tour at the already closed down Marineland at Orewa. I’m guessing the summer of 79/80. Climbed the fence with some mates and stolen beer.Hahah I remember all those bands , then a few ska bands emerged , and the skin heads
The Windsor Castle was another good venue,
In that late 70s period in NZ ,
it seemed like there were only two music scenes , punk or disco ,and they were polar opposites , and you had to pick onefunny looking back

Don't forget reggae. It was punk or disco for the pakehas, tea cosies for the brown fellas.

Guildford's finest band. Guildford's only band really.
Except that none of them are from Guildford, so Guildford is tragically bandless.
Which is really surprising as it is such an inspirational place.

@R-L now if you had put this in the HAWT thread it would have won Post of the Year hands down

I have 7 of those in my CD collection.
In theory I would have thought "vinyl era" was pre-1982.
I decided that the vinyl era extended until CD sales were clearly dominant.

OK, just curious as the majority of my early purchases were on cassette not vinyl. I do have a few LPs and 7" singles from the 1980s but no turntable anymore.
BTW, I had always thought "Brothers in Arms" was the first CD produced in 1985 but it was only the first digitally recorded to CD. The first CD was actually ABBA (The Visitors) in 1982.
