Formed in 1998 by Dave McDonald (drums), Matt Sherborne (guitar\/ lead vocals) and James Bryant (bass), C13 made their live debut in May 1998, playing a lunch-time set at their Kapiti College school hall. By that August, they had earned a spot in the Wellington regional finals of the Smokefree Rockquest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;autoclose&quot;: false, &quot;accordionItems&quot;: [] }\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/accordion\" role=\"group\" class=\"wp-block-accordion is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-is-layout-flow\">\n<div data-wp-class--is-open=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-context=\"{ &quot;id&quot;: &quot;accordion-item-1&quot;, &quot;openByDefault&quot;: false }\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.initAccordionItems\" data-wp-on-window--hashchange=\"callbacks.hashChange\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-item is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-item-is-layout-flow\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading has-icon has-icon-right\"><button aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" data-wp-bind--aria-expanded=\"state.isOpen\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.toggle\" id=\"accordion-item-1\" type=\"button\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle\"><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-title\">Read more<\/span><span class=\"wp-block-accordion-heading__toggle-icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\">+<\/span><\/button><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div aria-labelledby=\"accordion-item-1\" data-wp-bind--hidden=\"state.isHidden\" data-wp-on--beforematch=\"actions.handleBeforeMatch\" id=\"accordion-item-1-panel\" role=\"region\" class=\"wp-block-accordion-panel is-layout-flow wp-block-accordion-panel-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">In 1999, McDonald and Sherborne moved to Wellington for university studies while Bryant left the band to pursue other opportunities.\u00a0 He was soon replaced on bass by Mike Penhall, who brought more of a ska influence into the band\u2019s sound. At the time Penhall was also playing in another punk band, <strong>Johnny Nostars<\/strong>, with both bands part of a vibrant fourth-wave of punk in Wellington that included <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/05\/floorpie\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"252\">Floorpie<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/05\/deaf-terrorists\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"199\">Deaf Terrorists<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2026\/08\/blake\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"2770\">Blake<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2026\/09\/brubeck\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"139\">Brubeck<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Channel 13 injected themselves into Wellington\u2019s vibrant punk scene, playing at <strong>Victoria Uni Hall, Indigo, Valve<\/strong> and house parties, along with out of town bands like <strong>Shinkasta<\/strong> and <strong>Sommerset<\/strong>. In October 1999, they performed a set at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/1999\/10\/punkfest-1999\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"5996\">Punkfest<\/a>\u2019s<\/strong> Saturday night show held at an inner city warehouse flat on <strong>Wakefield Street<\/strong>. The following month, C13 headed into OMW Studios in Mount Cook, recording seven tracks with Peter Jamieson as engineer. These were released as the EP, &#8220;<strong>13<\/strong>&#8220;, in early 2000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">A second recording session took place in 2001, this time at <strong>Marmalade Studios<\/strong> with the five new tracks recorded. These were released as a <strong>split EP<\/strong> with Christchurch ska-punk band Molly Says Go through Stake Out Records. The split release was launched with a gig at <strong>The Stomach<\/strong> on July 1, 2001, which also featured <strong>Molly Says Go<\/strong>, <strong>Mailbox Skipole<\/strong> and <strong>Nana Squad<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">\u201cOur mate Alastair Tye Samson was a huge part of this, he helped us put everything together and basically acted as our manager at this time. Matt Barnes from <strong>Punkas.com<\/strong> was also a huge help at the time, and arranged the release show gig at <strong>The Stomach<\/strong> in Palmy for us. As was Blair Jones from the Wellington Punk scene and <strong>NAY records<\/strong>.\u201d <\/p>\n<cite>Mike Penhall<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">By 2002, Channel 13 added Anton Becic on lead guitar, but their activity slowed. Penhall was planning to travel overseas, and McDonald had begun jamming with his new project, <a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/not-quite-right\"><strong>Not Quite Right<\/strong><\/a>. C13 decided to call it quits and played their final show at Valve on December 18, 2002.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Mike returned to the Kapiti Coast and went on to play in The Know Nothings and The Ganomes.
