At the end of Split Enz gig we went up to Auckland Uni to catch Citizen Band supported by Spelling Mistakes, a 2nd generation punk band who released the 'Feels so good' 7'' on Propeller Records in June 1980. It remains my favourite pop-punk tune of all time www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM-E...

The Spelling Mistakes - Feels So Good

New Zealand band with a perfect mix of Punk Rock & Powerpop. This one was released on Propeller Records in 1980.

Jan/Feb 1980 I went to see Whizz Kids and the Swingers at Carrington Polytech. It was my first small gig; 30/40 people and the first time I realised you could engage with musicians. This was the first time I'd seen a Rickenbacker guitar and it was love at first sight.
