After spending some time in Germany following the demise of The Straitjacket Fits in 1994. Guitarist Mark Petersen return to New Zealand in 1996 and formed the Cabbage Bomber. It was to be the vehicle to perform the songs Petersen had written in the last few years. Which were well crafted Power Pop gems. The ever-prolific Petersen was soon playing in Auckland band Shaft as well. In fact, apart from Cabbage Bomber, Shaft and the Straitjacket Fits he has play in Jan Hellriegal’s Band, Greg Fleming & The Trains, Cane Slide, Working With Walt, Swamp, The Beads, Meatboy, Mellon Farmer, Lozenge and still more.
The first song, I Done Stuff is from the 1997 Wrong Records compilation Dollar Mixture. Its a song about how one minute you’re touring the world in a band, next you’re living in a Grey Lynn flat on the dole. A common story for kiwi musicians. The second song Never Gonna…hmm is from the 1997 album they shared with Cane Slide; Sloppy Pop Wars. Both songs were recorded on lo-fi four track.
