The Androidds
The Androidss – yes, with a double s, a set of twins and two brothers are back!
Don’t miss their one and only Auckland show on Saturday Oct 25th, at one of Auckland’s oldest standing Rock ‘n’ Roll venues, that’s right – The Kings Arms.
Christchurch punk band The Androidss formed in 1979 and last played Auckland in 1981 – 27 years ago! Some of you will remember them, others of you would not have been born yet, but the legacy of their hit song ‘Auckland Tonight’ and their punk attitude lives on in many of us.
It been 27 years since the The Androidss last played Auckland!
It is a show that me, myself Devil Doll is proudly promoting so pass the e-mail round.
Devil Doll
Presents…
This band has a great and large repertoire of songs that were most unfortunately lost to history. A contributing factor to their history and lack of recordings was due to a couple of members doing jail time. However, ‘Auckland Tonight’ and ‘Getting Jumpy’ were the only two songs to have been recorded/documented/saved, thanks to Ripper Records.
Ripper Records being one of NZ’s most important record labels. Hell, it was only the first punk record label to have started up in NZ! The mastermind behind the label was Bryan Staff, who up until recently hosted a country music show on Radio Live.
World famous in Christchurch, this band was very important on the local scene for it’s melodic post punk Rock/Pop sound.
Don’t consider this a mere reunion show for the revivalists, this is a show to evoke and awake the punk attitude that so many bands and businesses have adopted today…Hallelujah!
This show will stand the test of time, with old favourites and new songs from their up coming album, or rather long awaited album. Incarceration can somewhat stifle productivity – 27 years in the baking!
Quote from punk band peers,
The Enemy on 3 Jun 2008
‘Auckland Tonight is an under recognised New Zealand classic’
Quote from http://www.thebigcity.co.nz.
‘Undeniably the band produced some standalone great music, pure guitar pop.
I never saw the Androidss perform live and never actually met any of the band members directly, so the band is a bit of an enigma to me, just their reputation and their music left to impress me. One band I really wish I’d caught live.’
Don’t be the one writing the above in years to come.

Stolen. Black Yamaha Jog.
Stolen. Black Yamaha Jog scooter 37YTK.
Taken from Austin Street, near corner with Majoribanks Street, Mt Victoria,
Wellington sometime around September 1st to 5th.
Distinguishing features:
All down the left [95% sure it is the left] side are scratches.It has a
cracked orange front indicator light cover on the left side.
And the brake lever on the left side is also slightly bent down – all of
these are from the impact of when it got knocked over in the wind.
On the right hand side, where you rest your right foot while riding (towards
the front of the bike) there is a smallish crack in the plastic – around the
area where there is a screw.
I left the bike with its internal wheel locking mechanism on, and with the
keyhole cover on, so the key area is likely missing or mangled if it was
hot-wired. The front plastic often gets pulled back and broken if it is
hotwired also.
The Wellington police station number is 04 381 2000 if you do spot it, and
please call Richard on 021 125 4117 also.
