D Super Straight To The Sun (CD, Wildside, 2001) ***
Genre: a mash up of Rock and roll, surf, garage, punk; NZ music
Places I remember: Roger Marbeck gave me a promo copy
Fab, and all the other pimply hyperboles: We Ride Tonite
Gear costume: Song 4 Linc
Active compensatory factors: A short lived flame out band at the start of the millennium, D-Super created a bit of a stir around student radio circles and managed to cobble together this album.

They wore their influences on their sleeve and created some interesting singles (both featured above) but somehow the songs don't make for a coherent album.
However, I enjoy their energetic approach for the most part and I'm a sucker for sixties rock and roll surf garage punk recorded well, which this is. So I'm pleased to add this to the NZ music collection.
Where do they all belong? A one off. Those two highlighted songs are all you really need.
