state of the scene?
Harry Ratbag (Rem): "Trendy, pretentious. Too many people following overseas trends - blitz, billy, bluebeat. Whatever happened to originality and trash?" Kerry O'Connor (fan): "A bit stale. I'd like to see more experimentation. A few weird and wonderful noises via percussion and synthesisers." Nigel Russell (Danse Macabre): "There aren't enough venues interested in new music. - But it's pretty -healthy, the major bands around Auckland have never been more diverse:" MiktlCo‘rlessT(NMM)rßHßW "It's not as healthy as it should be." Andrew Boak (Radio B): "It seems to be getting better but there are mega-problems." Paul Rose (Furtive): "Very depressed. Because of. the lack of an' underage venue, no new bands are coming forward." Jean Williams (Reverb): "Musically it's good, lots of bands playing interesting original music, but financially it's disastrous." ,
