russell brown on public address notes the death os steve android of the christchurch band the androids.
they issued one single "auckland tonight/getting jumpy". i don't have the single but i have both songs on various complimations. classic bits of nz post punk pop.
(best of the complimations, apart from ak79, is a thing i picked up for 5 bucks called "christchurch music". its a double cd that has a wide range of christchurch sourced music from dinah lee (do the bluebeat) and lutha 9only time will let us know), to bic runga, the narcs and the feelers and the gordons (adults and children), jpse (i like rain) and the johnnys (who killed johnny). the androids track is "getting jumpy")
mr brown also notes that its the ten year anniversary of the death of kevin amith, actor, comic and one third of "say yes to apes" beleive it or not, i do have a copy of the ablbum he released under the name hyphen-smythe

Yeah, for the 19 years or so I've been using a computer, I've never kicked the 'eth' habit. Almost mastered the apostrophe though ...
