It’s 1979. Where were you?. These boys were on a mission. Tommy McEwan was working for an oil company and spending his weekends in a Flanellette shirt living the 1970’s dream in his 1963 Kombi Van. Rob Kirk was scaling the heights of his chosen profession, having recently won the prestigious ‘Mr Junior Cut and Blowwave’ title at the Wellington hair awards.
Then it happened …….
For Tommy it was a Hamburger with the lot at 2am at the Canterbury Rd fish and chip shop. The Clash came on the grease encrusted transistor radio. He made a decision.

That band ended up being No Nonsense, after that The Swingin’ Sidewalks, Louis King, the list goes on. The Music changed. The Flat top never……..
For Rob it was Wellington New Zealand, the latest eagles Album, Split Enz, The Ennui of the small town boy. He saw those thick black Glasses on Declan McManus’s face and he was sold….Moved to Melbourne and started playing in clubs.
