Dag Rock!

_dag-rock-nz__1

Today I’d like to take a short break from the original tunes and share with you one of the rare 7” singles I’ve picked up here in New Zealand.

I found this little number in a mildewy box on the floor of an op shop in Whangawhanga. It’s credited to a group called Jet Merino and the Southern Men, on the Go Dink label.

The title is “Dag Rock (featuring Bongo Hamish)”. It’s the B-side- the A-side is “Hey Hey Hey (Buddy Buddy)”, listed as “vocal with instrumental accompaniment”, but is unfortunately (?) unplayable- it looks like it was violently raked with a fork.

I have no other information about this combo. The heavy green paper sleeve has “Mona” written several times in different colored ink.

Enjoy!

  1. Wow, I can’t believe I fooled anyone with disowning authorship of this one, but apparently I did.

    The scratches are made by crinkling a plastic bag.

    “Bongo Hamish” indeed.
