Live at Mainstreet - Blam Blam Blam
Television (Full Length) – 1984
A bittersweet Auckland 'goodbye' from Kiwi post-punk band Blam Blam Blam, after bad luck stopped them in their tracks. In 1982 bassist Tim Mahon was seriously injured in a van accident and the band decided to call time. In 1984 they briefly reunited and recorded this Radio with Pictures special for a live album. The footage is intercut with reviews tracking their career, and a brief interview with Don McGlashan and Mark Bell. The euphonium takes centre stage for 'Don't Fight it Marsha...' and McGlashan takes over drums for alternative anthem 'There is No Depression in New Zealand'.
It's nice when you're doing your last gig to know that it's your last gig and not...find out about it from hospital staff.– Don McGlashan reflects on Blam Blam Blam's bumpy trajectory
