After the four o'clock news: AK79 Live! (Pt 1 of 2)

Revisiting the influential Auckland punk rock scene of the late 1970s.

This independent, gut level short haired rock and roll was first documented on the defining compilation AK79, a record that has taken on a life of its own over the last three decades to become an internationally-known snapshot of New Zealand in 1979 - all the more astounding considering the youthful scene that spawned it represented merely a tiny subset of local popular culture.

When The Terrorways, Proud Scum, Spelling Mistakes, Scavengers and the X-Features re-convened thirty years down the track, Radio New Zealand National was there to speak to the musicians and record the high-powered rock and roll fun that had earned this music a place in history in the first instance.
