New look to site
The long overdue changes to the site are occuring, but it'll take some time
to 'theme' all of the pages in line with the new home page. In case you
haven't guessed, it was inspired by the sleeve of "Rain, Steam & Speed."

Revamp at some
stage...
Having
not updated things for a while, it was possible to look at the site in
the cold hard light of day last weekend. If you're new to the site, we
hope you enjoy the content. If you're a previous visitor, expect some changes.
Bit more content on other NZ music scene stuff is essential (isn't Stellar
stellar?), as is the cut down in some of the heavy graphics stuff.

Yahoocities?
Looks
like the efforts (and cost) we've gone to to ensure the site is free of
huge advertising banners now changes with the shift in ownership of Geocities,
and the imperative to hold advertising on one's site. Oh well. It's the
way of the world... Anyone out there experienced this yet?

 Interview
With Don Now Up!
In April
this year, Don did an in-depth interview on New Zealand's National Radio,
covering topics both old and new.
This
has now been added in, after many delays.
You
can read it, or download mp3 sound files - so you're actually able to listen
to the interview. As at October 30, some sound files have yet to be added,
but we hope to have a solution at hand soon.
Now
available!

been up to since he left the band. Mp3 and text formats.
Portions
now available!

 Croydon
Gig Reviewed
Ants,
Tan & John zip over to Croydon
for a great night out. Ants reviews, and Tan's digital camera gets an airing.
Site Improvements
We've
tried to make further improvements, particularly shrinking down some of
the graphics to make pages load faster. BTW, if you're still getting annoying
Geocities pop-ups, please let
us know.

Survey
We seem
to have received quite a few more votes after the results were published
- mainly because Pete forgot to remove the actual voting form. So, we've
decided to leave it up, and periodically update the graphs. We can then
note any significant changes over time. Add
your vote now.
