Two more posters from the West Auckland hall Punk scene of the early 1980s. No Tag,
The Mormons, The Plunket Boys and Red Cross were cornerstone bands of
the early 1980’s West Auckland hall punk scene. They played self-organised gigs in hired West Auckland halls. The gigs were promoted
by world of mouth and self-designed photocopied posters like this one.
The Plunket Boys put this gig together and therefore this poster. It
was closed down early by the Police like many were.
Here is a rare recording of The Mormons drunk in their practice room. It was recorded on a portable cassette player. The singer was Ian Wardle, the guitarist Gary McDonald, the bass player was Karl Tchernegovski and drummer may have been Pete Morris.
