THE MOCKERS - Culprit and the King 1985
The Mockers were hugely successful in an early-mid 80s New Zealand, obsessed with then-current crop of British pop. The band initially formed in 1979 as The Ambitious Vegetables, with line-up of Gordon Costello, Andrew Fagan, Gary Curtis and Charlie Mannell who were all at Rongotai College together. Their original songs were written by Gordon Costello when he was aged approximately 10. Gary Curtis wrote many of their songs as well and continued on to write most of the music for The Mockers. Sadly it's one of the best, but sadly ignored records that came out of NZ.
