The Babels



















This was my first band. Started by me and Miles Fahey in 1990. Thats him on the far left wearing the bad brains t-shirt. We would always see each at gigs and say we were gonna start a band. And after a lot of messing around....we did! And this was the result. Influenced by early gothic rock, punk, and with a good dose of our surroundings thrown in (lets just say the backyard of NZ music can be a pretty strange place!). Some of this stuff is live and from rehearsals (and hence some is rather raw) but this documents pretty much everything in our repertoire.
