Ex-Split Enz bassist Mike Chunn always loved Larry's Rebels song I Feel Good, so when Chunn formed Citizen Band with brother Geoff and musicians Brent Eccles and Greg Clark, they included this cover on their self-titled album. This video captures the band's straight down the line rock’n’roll energy — guitarist Clark takes the lead and the Chunn brothers go to work on back-up vocals. The video was shot at Avalon Studios for pop music show Radio With Pictures. 1978 was a stellar year for the musicians — they scooped Most Promising Group at the NZ Federation of Phonographic Industry Music Awards.
Citizen Band work their own distinctive changes on the beat group era … The Chunns grew up in this era and the love affair enjoyed with it by all concerned is what makes the disc the sunny successful event it is.– NZ Listener reviewer Gordon Campbell praises a 1978 performance from Citizen Band, AudioCulture, 8 January 2015
