Top dance band visits
Who Loves Who the Most, the catchy pop songs played often on radio at present, announced the return home of The Exponents earlier this year. The band, formerly the Dance Exponents, play Hot Lava this last weekend of the ski season. Four years ago they left for London led by under-rated singersongwriter Jordan Luck and with the change in name, a return to their
original Christchurch lineup of 1982 they have now returned with a mix of old and new. Harry Harallambi keeps the drumsticks tight and drives the band precisely; guitarist Brian Jones keeps the heavy pop feel with hard riffs and fine lead work; bassist David Gent keeps a pounding bass line for his colleagues to build on; and Luck does build with a quiver of new catchy songs plus a few classics from their
early days. Luck is one of the country's most mesmerising performers with a wildly informal style endearing himself to fans. The Exponents' lineup includes new ones such as Why Does Love, Sink Like a Stone, The Nameless Girl and The Fug Song, and classics like Victoria, Sex and Agriculture, Your Best Friend Loves Me Too, and 1*11 Say Goodbye. All good dance movers.
