Rock

Rough Justice is a Wellington based Rock group just back from a North Island tour — including an excellent gig at Nambassa. Pivot point of the band is Rick Bryant, former lead singer of "Mammal", and one of New Zealand's most respected Blues/Rock performers. The group comprises of at least 8 musicians and includes a horn section plus an extended percussion line up. At Hops "Rough Justice" are exciting, in concert their Rock'n Roll jamming music is tight, appealing and totally absorbing.

"Spatz" must be potentially one of the finest bands in the country. Lead Guitar is is Tony Backhouse, another "Mammal" survivor. Bruno Lawrence, formerly of Blerta and another founder of "Spatz" will will probably not be around for Orientation — he's got Hepatitis or something — but other ex-Blerta member Pat Bleakley will be with the band. Pat plays electric double bass. "Spatz" music is a mellower complement to that of "Rough Justice", and they will be performing together in both a Hop on Friday and at the "Mad Hatters Tea Party" concert on Saturday 4th.

Rocking horse have had several changes in their lineup since their first album was released by they remain one of the better light rock bands in Wellington.

"Heart breakers" are a popular, rather rip-off collection of misfits and members of just about any now-defunct New Zealand band you care to name — anything from Tamburlaine (New Zealand's answer to Donovan Leach) to Hogsnort

Miscellany — Completing what we hope to be the best music package ever seen at Orientation is a series of performances and once only concerts.

"Mogambo" is a 10 piece percussion ensemble. They will be performing once only in the Union Hall on Friday 3rd March, at 3:00 pm. Percussion is a rare musical treat, and should be worth missing a lecture to see.

Music Dep't. Concert will be classical and yet not so. Thursday 2nd, 1:10 p.m. in the Union Hall.

Musical Miscellany will hopefully be featured all around campus during the week and though the program is comprehensive, lots of space still exists for anyone who wants to play. If you want to set up a time to play come and see Neil Gray at Studass office or just show up. Payment isn't possible but a hat might bring results. Enjoy it!
