Radio with Pictures - 17 June 1984

Television (Excerpts) – 1984

RWP presenters past (Barry Jenkin, aka Dr Rock) and present (Karyn Hay) discuss clips selected by Jenkin, whose choices reflect his musical epiphany at the hands of punk in the late 1970s. This segment features three local acts, and provides the opportunity to see a somewhat distant Johnny Volume (guitar in the Scavengers on their classic 'Mysterex') — and to observe Chris Knox's considerable musical and visual progression from the punk of The Enemy, to the altogether more experimental Tall Dwarfs (via one of Knox's classic animated clips). 

That last clip has been selected to feature at Auckland Art Gallery fairly soon. I imagine Chris Knox often thought he might hang – but didn’t expect the gallery probably.
– Barry Jenkin
