Children's Hour were an Auckland Flying Nun band from about 1983 through to 1985. After their demise, they then basically reformed as 'Headless Chickens' and became a huge success in NZ and Australia. Early 'Headless Chickens' material was quite dark, but nothing like 'Children's Hour'.... this is goth,industrial, a bit of punk and some of the 'Joy Division' bleakness all blended together to perfection. They released an EP "Flesh" which I actually had on vinyl but can't find the thing anywhere... I hope I didn't lend it to someone that didn't return it. Anyway, that's history, luckily the digital version has been available for Bitter FM listeners to enjoy. The unbelievable news is that they are reforming for the Laneway Festival early next year.... I won't be missing that one.
