You are both fibbers - 'the Rog drainpipe excess express' (sadly lacking Reggie Crudthorpe but now with Myrtle Winterbottom on 2nd flugelhorn) is easily the best alt rock band in NZ - from their uniform of day-glo woolly willie-warmers (try saying it quickly

), down to the unfogettable sounds and songs - who can forget the massed kazoo solos or the rhythmic burping of 'Bean Gas' or the lyrics 'They don't let me have nothing sharp in here, but otherwise fine' to the' Niet! niet! niet! arrrrgh Spasebo' chorus of 'Mama works for the KGB (and loves to bring it home!)' celebrated in epic concerts from Foxton to Te Awamutu and all points in between (assuming people acutally live between those points - a lot depends on your definition of 'living' I suppose).

Then consider how 'alt' they truly are! no website, no cd's, no contracts, no concerts for the last 2 decades, just literally one gungy tape from the late 60'sd that circulates among the afficianados - secretly - truly these people have never 'sold out' to the 'establishment' (Rog's little incident with $500,000 of public monies and Miss Baked Beans of 1965 excepted - the cat HAS recovered and he keeps on taking the pills) - can YOU say the same?"? thought not!!! Hang your heads in SHAME!

'the Rog drainpipe excess express'

Ahh, I remember their sound well. One day when walking down K road I was approached by a male hooker in a skirt (not pre op or post op, just no op) I said I wasn't interested but he would stop hastling me. I stopped and looked him square in his dirty, smutriddled eyes and said "Please, just leave me alone"

His eyes rolled into the back of head, his legs gave way, and he hit the pavement with a thunderous man-whore crash.

That's when I robbed him. I took his wallet and a grungy old cassette tape from his manbag and ran. Years later I discovered the tape and cranked it through my walkman. Ever since then 'the Rog drainpipe excess express' have been corseing through my veins. They are the standard onto which I judge all else

Heil Rog, Heil his status as THE number one alternative band in the nation!

I was, in fact, referring to The Rog Experience, my dear.

So take that back. I'm not pretentious, and Amperzahn is not Alt Rock. We are contemperary-prog-rock-pop. (Whatever the hell that is. I read it on the internet so it must be true)
