Tim Mahon – bass player in The Plague (1978-1979), The Whizz Kids (1979-1980), and Blam Blam Blam (1980-1982) – is releasing his new solo album The Great Kerfuffle, and taking it on the road.
His band is also called The Great Kerfuffle, and is a top-notch team, featuring members of Ardijah/Bamboo, O.M.C., Newmatics and Blam Blam Blam.
At a time where every man and his dog are reforming and providing nostalgia, Mahon is presenting new music, with relevance to the interesting times we live in.
From plucking the bass harmonics on the seminal Blam Blam Blam track 'There is No Depression in New Zealand', Mahon's new songs are in keeping with the anarchistic revolutionary themes he has long espoused. The lyrics will challenge you, but the music will hug you, like an old friend you danced with at The Gluepot, The Windsor Castle, Mainstreet, The Gladstone, or The Cook.
Tim Mahon and The Great Kerfuffle will be joined by support acts: guitar legend Teina Benioni (Bamboo/Ardijah), and alt-country NZ/US duo Shooting in the Dark.
