Here's the only Talent Quest album thus far.T.Q. was floating around Wellington around 2007(not totally sure,will have to consult the archives...) and can lay claim to being the "only true punk band in Wellington" during it's tenure.Hardly anyone would come to our shows and the ones that did would tell us to get a new singer.Fuck 'em! Andy has a great voice and wrote a good lyric or two....
How did it start Lynton?Well,I put an ad in a local zine looking for interested musicians to get this large beach ball rolling.What I got was a bunch of likely lads; half of whom had little or no musical experience(but post-graduate diplomas in dough kneading) and two retired meatworkers with a lot of experience playing in Batman tribute bands.
We carved that ROCK until it had become a formidable weapon of cultural combat....
Listen on my friend for this is future heritage.....
Well there you go..also,I have some tapes where we are doing more of a poetry ambient jazz thing and a rocking version of "Dazed and Confused",so these may in the future make the transition from cassette to BLOG....
I'm a big fan of this band,although they need to get a singer I think the music is interesting enough in itself to warrant a spin or two.The last track(shimmering up the stairs) features Ducklingmonster on electronics.
