The Plague were formed in reaction to the
nailed down and narrow-minded state of Muldoon-era Aotearoa. Including members
Tim Mahon,
Charlotte Wrightson,
Miles McKane and
Sally Griffin, the songs of The Plague will at last be brought to light on a new collection on vinyl LP and 7 , available at this week s reunion extravaganza at Auckland s Neck Of The Woods with
X-Features and
DJ Dubhead. Iconic for their pioneering theatrical and untamed art-punk shows, including a high profile performance at Nambassa Festival 1979, members of The Plague generously shared with UTR some of their own memories of the wild times they spent together.
