First Fifteen\u2019s tight rhythm section of Jeff Miles (drums) and Scott MacFarlane (bass) lay a captivating post-punk base for Blaise Orsman\u2019s chaotically hooky guitar and Tim Scott\u2019s off-kilter vocals.<\/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 the wake of the 1981 Springbok tour and the social upheaval that accompanied it, the fittingly named <strong>First Fifteen<\/strong> (a rugby reference if you\u2019re not from these parts) released a stand-out EP in November 1982. Featuring 4 tracks, one a cover of \u201c<em>These Boots Are Made For Walking<\/em>\u201d, the 7\u201d paints a dark picture of a NZ society that had emerged out of the post-war boom period into a brutish \u201cantipodean gothic\u201d version of itself following seven years of Muldoon government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">First Fifteen were a part of Wellington\u2019s second wave of punk playing alongside bands such as <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/11\/riot-111\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"401\">Riot 111<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/07\/flesh-d-vice\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"247\">Flesh D-Vice<\/a><\/strong>, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2026\/08\/aftershock\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"56\">Aftershock<\/a><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2025\/06\/unrestful-movements\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"576\">Unrestful Movements<\/a><\/strong>.

The Golden Showers concert was recorded live with two tracks, \u201c<em>Fascist Tango<\/em>\u201d and \u201c<em>Do The Jug<\/em>,\u201d featured on the <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/1983\/11\/capitol-kaos\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1122\">Capitol Kaos<\/a><\/strong> compilation that came out the following year.
