Baked Beans

There’s obviously some horrible drug, sex, or rock n’ roll innuendo going on here that we just don’t understand.

Those aren’t baked beans.

That was just… surreal.

Goodness Gracious, That is Mother Goose, one of the most amazing bands out of NZ in the 70′s. Hilarious and highly skilled musicians. What a find. This is exactly what they wore on stage. Ha ha ha. Absolutely bizarre. Precursors to Split Enz. Cheers guys.

That’s the closest I’ve been in ages to wanting to punch someone out.

Has a overtones of Zappa with an essence of mescaline, doesn’t it?

Yep, hasn’t stood up to the test of time one iota. There was this anarchic streak in all NZ entertainment, was quite interesting to look back on it.
BTW Liz, all their songs were like this and he sang this way everytime. Always available in the $2 bin over here if you want a copy…

So Christopher, did all NZ entertainers have the full mustache/facial hair going on too? I mean, these guys could braid it if they wanted…

Darren,
Back then, yes.
Jazz, rock, blues, comedians, all hair everywhere.
Only pop singers and girls went hairless. Well, most girls.
