State Laughter

Peter and Graeme Jefferies....consistently in awe of these brothers decades after they began to make their mark on music in NZ and abroad. Dais really hooking it up here, hot on the heels of Superior Viaducts This Kind Of Punishment LP reissues. TKOP would follow this band and more readily incorporate the post-Velvet Underground drone that was rampant in NZ and well in most all independent rock music from the late 60's onward. But this echo's more with their UK contemporaries, namely Joy Division....very dark. Really ahead of their time and not JD clones, but kids chipping away at their own uncarved block parallel to the Factory. This LP collects live and unreleased material for the first time.
