RIMU. THE SAGA Many moons ago.... In a small timber town located in the south Waikato, 4 young men formed a punk/new wave outfit called ROOM 101, influenced by The Clash, Bauhaus & the Cure. The young men were without doubt the only "alternative" band in the land of AM radio supremacy. But never the less, they managed to scale the grand heights of support act to the Shetland Ponies at the local A&P show... Having achieved such massive success there was only one thing to do, move to the big smoke of Palmerston North. Student radio loved the pine tree boys , with many rad mass top tens & numerous gigs. They lost a guitarist and gained a sampler (all the rage at the time) and a new moniker...Damask. Found better drugs and broarder influences, Sonic Youth , Bailter Space, Butthole Surfers etc...Did a north island tour, got great reviews...and split up... On to Auckland a year or so later they reform as a three piece, change name to Feudant, start to play regular gigs, get BFM airplay and then split up again... Years later after many drunken sessions of reminiscing the boys decide it would be a laugh to have a jam , they love it, and this time they swear they're never gonna stop. Four Name changes , numerous gigs, countless lost picks and broken sticks, RIMU Present to you COMPLICITY......
