The Kal-Q-Lated Risk/The Risk
This band originally hailed from Featherston, a small town in Wairarapa nestled beneath the Rimutakas/Tararua Ranges, around 1967 to 1974. As you can see, they underwent several line-up changes.
They had become well known in the Wellington region before moving to Wellington city at the end of the sixties and having a string of hits for HMV/EMI.
They made the national music award TV program "The Loxene Golden Disc Awards" finals for three consecutive years, 1970 - I'll Be Home, 1971 - Angelina, and 1972 - Lazy River.
The Kal-Q-Lated Risk are another band EMI has chosen to ingnore in its back-issue releases. A few of the hits are available on the Loxene Golden Disc CD re-issues and various other compilations, but the disc we'd like to see, "Holding Our Own" plus singles A's & B's, looks unlikey to appear......
Obscure German label "Rock in Beat" has released a CD with a vinyl transfer of "Holding Our Own" coupled with the self titled and only LP from an Upper Hutt band of the same era, The Dedikation.
