  • Flying Nun Moments,

    Holy shit, so many moments.

    The Clean and The Chills at the Rhumba bar in Victoria St ('81, 82?), everybody jumping so hard in unison the wooden floor was acting like a trampoline. I thought the building was going to pancake. The crowd a solid steaming heaving screaming clusterfuck.

    Toy Love supporting Hello Sailor at an Ak Uni cafe gig in '79; all the students were standing open mouthed on the edges of the dance floor and no-one knew what was going on. Chris Knox had scampered up the PA and was singing hanging upsidedown from the lighting grid 15-20 ft off the floor. The only people dancing were a dwarf and a beautiful blonde girl. The whole scene was surreal. I think the dwarf might have been Richard Von Sturmer.
