WTF this is the oldest and coolest poster ever to turn up!
On May 29, 1988, Auckland punk band The Warners were featured on Radio with Pictures (1988 Programme 13), hosted by former musician Dick Driver. The segment included a studio interview with the band and a broadcast of their ferocious live performance of the song "Dance Dance Disco"
The WARNERS Reputation: Because of their loud sets and intense mosh pits, many bar owners were hesitant to book them. When they played Auckland's legendary venue The Gluepot, they were famously required to put up a $750 bond upfront to cover any potential crowd damages. The MOSH PITS WERE BRUTAL!! But FUN!!
