Wetbacks
Wetbacks formed in mid-1983, and featured Dianne Archer (guitar, vocals), Patariki Hura (bass, vocals), Geoff Sinott (drums) and Chris Corby (guitar), although the latter was replaced in 1986 by Murray Hintz (keyboards). Paul Donnelly of Two White Eyes also played bass at some time.
Wetbacks released one six track mini-album, Out of the Swamp, in 1985. They also have a song, Don't get Caught, on the 1985 compilation Weird Culture, Weird Custom, released by "National Student Radio" (now B-net), distributed by Jayrem. They played support to a number of popular New Zealand bands of the time, including Netherworld Dancing Toys, The Mockers, The Narcs and Coconut Rough. In 1986 they flew to Melbourne in an attempt to crack the Australian market.
