Radio with Pictures - North Island Music

Television (Full Length Episode) – 1984

Roving reporter Simon Morris talks to music movers and shakers in this special report from the 1980s cult music rock show. Auckland is on the cusp of the club boom and live music is waning. A youthful club promoter Russ Le Roq (aka Russell Crowe) flies the flag for the kids, Colin Hogg is unimpressed and a fresh faced Graeme Humphreys (aka Graeme Hill) fronts the Able Tasmans. Meanwhile, local acts are in short supply in Wellington. The live scene is healthier but radio certainly isn’t. The Pelicans (including future music critic Nick Bollinger) and Strikemaster perform.

When we play, we only like to play for half an hour. I certainly get a bit bored with any band really after half an hour.
– Trevor Reekie from band Car Crash Set
