Sophie, you might mean Diamond Dogs
The last time I was up there it was definitely a Scum gig but it also could have been a closing night or maybe a private function with the Scum playing.I really liked the Island of Real Cafe with no booze inside so lots of stoners and excellent music.30 years on and a brain job amongst other things does not for a sharp memory make.I am glad you are filling in gaps for me. As you were.:)

It can't be that easy to find accomodation suitable for a cabinet minister/family of eight in Wallytown.
Here's one.

a faint memory
Much appreciated.So what was the place up past the Ak library where Proud Scum used to play?, not the Island of Real Cafe which was another haunt. Geez I am glad my parents were Hippies and thought I should get out and experience the music.:)Thinking last night that I didn't leave NZ until my 17th birthday.I was 2 weeks into it and without Simon that would be archived.

I remember Tich.

There was a very dark side to the whole Auckland punk scene.
Twas. A friend of the time was thrown over the railing into the carpark at uni, ended up in a wheelchair permanently and I never understood that. Bloody skinheads.Yes I think it was a tough crowd at times with an out of it lot.
Don't know if you knew her?
Neither do I to be honest.One person I do remember was Rob from the MeeMees had a sister who I am sure was called Jo (then again I could be wrong). She was cool.We were quite young then. I'd even forgot about the State Theatre until your link.Would that be where Toy Love first played? I got to Oz pretty quick (16) but still managed to skoot around Ak alot before I left.Well, enough to have experienced the local bands of the late 70's.I'd go out for the bands,not overly for the scene.

Dunno if you've seen this?
Thanks Simon, bookmarked now.May I just say,That was a nice little trip down memory lane. I grew up in Durham Lane with my parents being part of a group that started The Browns Mill Market next to Babes of which was used for many a hippy fashion parade from the weavers and printers etc out of the Mill.I just loved how the lane was dead end, up and down. I vaguely recall when the guy lay around in zwines for the night and very few I was with even noticed anything unusual about that. I think we were slightly moved,Charming(not).Still, I wouldn't change any of my delinquent past. Thanks :)

They'd been taken into Durham Lane West, and turned into the wallpaper in the about to open Zwines, where The Scavs were the resident act. Ta guys...
Were you there for the balcony collapse?That was a bit of fun Ahh, the good ol' daze :)

Sorry if I sound a bit prickish here, but if anyone has been forced into Parliament at gunpoint they probably shouldn't be there at all.
Aye.

Hey I figure, if this is going to be the knee( circle) jerk reactionary party, may as well yank their chain :)
