Playthings - Sit Down / Stand Up
Early vehicle for notable Christchurch musicians Jay Clarkson, Paul Kean, and David Toland. The band were kind of like the Patti Smith Group of the Christchurch music scene, as British punk and post punk took hold. Their music featured time changes and complex chord progressions. Toland played a home-made all metal drum kit, apparently very heavy.
They played from 1980 to February 1982 in the various line-ups and played predominantly if not exclusively Christchurch gigs.
