Their early Auckland shows at the Windsor Castle and XS Café were messy and memorable enough to prompt music journalist Colin Hogg to label them, “Iggy Pop’s imbecile protégés".

Bondage
Collins and Norman set up a stall in a bus stop in inner city Queen Street to sell Let There Be Noise, and although they didn’t sell many copies, they made the pages of the Auckland Star. Among the purchasers was student scribe Garth C (Garth Cartwright) and Jeremy Chunn, a Detroit punk fan destined to be their bass player. The album stretched to a second pressing, with a white cover (as opposed to the first pressing’s black cover).
