Sailor on the Coast
Hello Sailor are playing campus and club dates in Los Angeles. A UCLA gig is to be followed by a stint at the Starwood with expatriates Mother Goose. Dave McArtney reports an enthusiastic response from Sailor's audiences and manager Dave Gapes says his boys are playing well McArtney says : the pressures of trying to break into the West Coast have been the catalyst for a more "up-and-at-'em" approach. The group’s material is centred around "Pacific Amour" and Graham Brazier has been introducing "Son of Sam" with a rap about how America’s killers aren't unknown in the Antipodes. The group has new amplification (Music Man and Ampeg) and McArtney reports ablebodied assistance from various expatriate New Zealanders, including former Hauraki DJ Brian "Rocky" O'Toole and the staff and stewardesses of Air New Zealand. .
