This just in from Andrew Schmidt's blog Mysterex - someone is listening God bless 'im...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Flipper’s moggied out prowler Ha Ha Ha has long been a favourite. It was one of those arty punk tracks from Jello Biafra’s landmark 1982 compilation, Let Them Eat Jellybeans, that dug deep into the head. It sounds no less biting and snarky in 2008 as Melbourne’s Clones give it a good dusting at www.myspace.com/icloned. The Clones are Dark Mark Courtney, long active on the Hamilton punk scene in groups such as Swamp Goblin, performing here as Stininski, Lance Strickland, Paeroa’s best product of punk, and Bob Cadillac from Christchurch. Kiwi ex pats all. Better still is UFO Remix, a pounding synth slashed original. Both tracks can be downloaded gratis. Bargain. Lance also has Dot Dash (www.myspace.com/dotdasha), his solo electronic project. Anyone who thinks Myspace sites are minimal and clumsy should take a look at this layout. It suits the sounds as well. Lance also demonstates his considerable way with words with tales about SPUD and King Loser. There’s four downloadable tracks available of which Fruity, a propulsive synth-dance track with occasional dark twist, and Musk, where the synths attack, are the pick.

So it's T01's shout next time we spot Andy...And BTW - there's some great reading on his blog just in case you were even mildly curious to know more about some legendary Kiwi Punk.
