Rocked the Nation - No 46: Rock N' Roll Ponsonby
Television (Excerpts) – 2008
It was documenting the times and what was happening ... all our songs were bitching about the fact that we couldn't get jobs and how tough it was.– Dragon's Todd Hunter on songwriting during the band's time in Ponsonby
A lot of people were scared of Ponsonby: 'oh no, don't go to Ponsonby, because of all the people there!' But we loved it. It actually shaped what we were as a band.– Hello Sailor vocalist Graham Brazier on Ponsonby
