But Gin Wigmore? That was funny as hell.
I didn’t see much of the live show, but I did see this. It’s the closest we’ll ever come to a Kanye/Swift moment, and I fuckin’ loved it.
Maybe the cringes missed this interview from a while back?
‘I like fanny!’ Brilliant. -

right at the back with my people: the middle-aged media white guys. (Christie, Reid, Greive, Phin and James
Mr Reid gave Taika quite a swerve on facebook. So without seeing much more than a bit of the Cringeworthy crew giggling (whatever happened to 'The Tickle King' eh?) I got the impression the music was good, the rest not so good.

That was Toy Love,
My mistake they still had the black transit tho..? The name change passed me by till OZ And it was definitely the Enemy at an outdoor gig in Orewa(of all places) Still amazingly energetic
most of the covers bands at Zwines
Were pretty ordinary but they were having a go, bless'em.
It was too easy to blow them off the stage, as CB did in their only appearance there. -

yep the black transit was around for a while, until Oz I think…

if the Dudes were there too, it was Toy Love as well…
I can still hear the delayed drum echo back from the fence around the place and Chris was in good form… -

Who knows? Perhaps you were present at the last two Toy Love gigs at the Windsor Castle. Perhaps that was you who, in a burst of late punk exuberance, sprang from the dance floor to grasp the rim of one of those bloody great wagon wheels suspended by chains from the ceiling, each with three glass faux-baronial flaming torches, and brought the whole thing down with, amazingly, no discernible injury to anyone.
By the time the security guy did his rounds asking "Juicy who pulled that light down?" you'd vanished, only there you were again on the following and final night, pants held up by the same distinctive rainbow-striped braces, pogoing wildly beneath the two surviving light fixtures. Or perhaps it wasn't you, I guess we'll never know now.

Man, the things that happened at the Windsor …I was there in body, but never noticed that Chris had shaved half his hair off until we got to the airport the next day - summat to do with the man with the pink cadillac and a crate of tequila...
I think... -

Anyway serious stuff going on abuse of power and privilege.
got rid of monarchs and priests only to have politicians and business(persons) take their place
Why do we allow this to happen? -

That'd be this thing: Toy Love at Albert Park, 1979 - Photo By Sara Leigh Lewis. Might even be the nervous owner with his back to the camera, though if you park right in front of the stage people will dance on your pride & joy, no? Chris kind of set the tone by prancing across the top of the thing to take the stage, attired in his interesting tunic which I seem to recall was inspired by Mick Jagger's Concert in Hyde Park costume.
From memory it was a '61 Chevy Impala that had been a prize in a radio station contest, where it was touted as an Elvis memorial car. Sprayed pink with signwritten musical notes down both sides, set off with little stick-on guitars cut from that shiny laser etched stuff. The guy who bought it from the lucky prizewinner was a fixture at Toy Love gigs prior to their leaving for Australia.
