I found the cover of these LPs when searching the interweb for info on the Surf Punk band the Tikis: A late 60s New Zealand Maori Showband? How cool is that? I can't seem to find anything else except the covers on RateYourMusic.com, a note that they existed on AllMusicGuide.com, a note that they appeared in the New Zealand film Don't Let It Get You, and a couple short blurbs on bands.co.nz. And then I found the fan sites: http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~mstowers/id69.htm http://www.sergent.com.au/quintikis.html Damn! Now I'm hooked and have to start scouring record stores & eBay for Maori Showbands.
