As those who know me know, I have a lot of music. CDs, LPs, DVDs and even a few cassettes and Bandcamp downloads. In general, the web does a good job of providing information on any artist you can mention, plus cover art you can use on whatever portable device you use to play your music.

The one gap I have found is that some New Zealand bands from the past are poorly represented or almost absent from the web, though one or two sites try. And cover art? Lucky if you can find a tiny low-res image.

So I thought I would do my bit to at least record some basic info and where possible provide cover art.

Progress is slow - life doesn't leave much free time.

I would of course love to share the actual music, but our corrupt and unethical copyright laws maintain that even recordings over 30 years old and/or not even available and are still illegal to copy, usually remaining the legal monopoly of some corporation. Copyright protects the artist? Yeah right....

In rough order of age, oldest first, the artists I've managed to put together some info and cover art for are:

• Kal-Q-lated Risk
• Ticket
• Bulldogs Allstar Goodtime Band
• The Inhalers
• The Gardening Angels
• Propeller/Semi Lemon Kola
• Splitter
• Breathe
• The Shirleys
• Paselode
• Tadpole
• Ruptus Jack
