Synopsis

This simple but very effectively choreographed clip is possibly the only surviving music footage shot for mid-70s rock show The Grunt Machine. The extended instrumental introduction allows Phil Judd nearly two minutes of pacing and hovering in the Avalon Studio shadows before he confronts the camera at his malevolent best. The soon to depart Wally Wilkinson is on guitar; time in Australia has cemented the band's stage personas, Noel Crombie's black and white costumes are a visual treat, and the result is a perfect document of Mental Notes-era Enz.

Ah, the perils of miming to playback... 1.09 - drummer doesn't make it to drum kit in time, but has good grace to look embarrassed.
