@MiketheSnow For a minute there I thought that The Stranglers version was a cover, but I seem to remember that all of their songs are originals (and Cornwell is a Strangler).

Dire Straits and AC/DC played Athletic Park in 1991. I went to both. The latter was full of bogans and 14 year old MN5 got to see a great pair of cans on a topless peroxide blonde slapper sitting on some bogans shoulders.
I believe both concerts were just the start of the hearing problems I have today....

Don’t you love it when an absolute fucken banger you haven’t heard or even thought about for years comes on the car stereo and makes you drive around and arrive even later to your appointment than you intended ?
That happened to me today.
Deep Purple Mark I should be ashamed of how much cooler the Beastie Boys made their song sound.....

For a year or two these chaps were everywhere in Auckland:
First ever kiwi song to enter the charts at number 1 (although that was heavily manipulated by some friendly record shops with a clever pre-sales campaign)
There was also a small circuit of underage gigs where bands would hire out local halls and play. The same faces would drive all around Auckland to see the Meemees, Blams, Newmatics and similar. Crowd favourite from the Meemees was 'My Girl's got Pointy Ears' which wasn't quite as clean as the version recorded as an album filler.
Always the little 'tribes' talking shit at each other and even though we thought there was trouble at times it was no more than the odd scuffle really (Bootboys vs punks vs Mods vs New Romantics).
Definitely remember that the nights in South Auckland used to occasionally attract the cops. There was a 'Mod/Ska' covers band called something like The Smith Brothers? that were pretty popular but would also attract a group of bootboys looking for a fight.
One night in Weymouth probably had about 400 kids and about 11pm (that was late in those days) the cops turned up with their shiny new long batons at shut things down rather forcefully...Ahh, good times.

Indeed!
Pretty sure I saw them play at University Cafe. Lead singer did a law degree there.
Disappeared pretty quickly!

Early 90s mainstream rock

Watched a documentary on Ella Fitzgerald a couple of nights ago and started to listen to some of her stuff.
Holy crap. What a voice and what a singer.
