Rock City Wellington&#8217;s pride of coagulated sleazy scum.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-drop-cap wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Vas Deferens was a decadent and debauched punk band hailing from Wellington, New Zealand, founded by Steve Andrews (known as Luger Douche) in 1988. The band came into existence as a casual project for Andrews\u2019 22nd birthday on November 20, 1988, initially intended to perform cover songs. The original lineup featured Andrews on vocals, Barry \u201cLoose Unit Beef Curtains\u201d on guitar, Peter Tapp (Hanoi Von Strap-on) on drums, and Reverend Jolt Cola on bass. Jolt Cola\u2019s tenure was brief and chaotic\u2014lasting just two months\u2014due to his erratic behavior, including arriving at practice without his bass. After Jolt Cola\u2019s departure, Simon Claridge (aka Flex) stepped in as bassist, staying with Vas Deferens for a year before moving on to play with <strong>Cropt<\/strong> and the award winning <strong>Headless Chickens<\/strong>. After Flex&#8217;s departure Gareth Smith (aka Elvis Jagger) took over bass duties, and then Barry also left the group and was replaced by Dragan Stojanovic (aka Sickie Dryhump). Stojanovic brought additional musical pedigree to the group, having also played guitar for Christchurch\u2019s prolific punk outfit, <strong>The Axemen<\/strong>,  solidifying the band\u2019s lineup.<\/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\"><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\">Known for their flamboyant style and self-described as \u201cWagnerian rock music to invade Poland by&#8221;, Vas Deferens revelled in the bad-taste humour of a degenerate punk rock that kept its tongue planted firmly in cheek. During 1989 they became a somewhat of a resident band at The Clarendon tavern belting out a setlist of punk and metal covers and a growing catalogue of original songs. Steve Andrews&#8217; stage persona as Luger Douche got a kick out of rarking up the Wellington audience, often dispensing eggs and rotten fruit to the crowd to encourage audience &#8220;feedback&#8221;. Anti-System describes the VD&#8217;s \u201cattempt to put some theatrics and stupidity back into punk, makes them the band everyone loves to hate!\u201d&nbsp;<\/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\">I had this idiotic idea to provide the audience with a dozen eggs to hurl at me, but man raw eggs hurt at close range! However the gimmick worked because the stunt got the VDs a mention in Rip It Up magazine. Everyone seemed to have a good night and it being Vas Defs first gig I think people were quite surprised we played so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:15px\">Steve Andrews<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Vas Deferens released their debut album, <em><strong>Original Hits<\/strong><\/em>, in June 1991, a six-track record featuring quirky and provocative songs about harems, incest, and Microwave Pies (the later written by Darryl Ward of <strong>Goatrider<\/strong>) . They followed this with the EP <em><strong>Luger Douche and the Rolli Hei Hei Experience<\/strong><\/em> in October 1992. Vas Deferens shared the stage with Wellington mates <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/flesh-d-vice\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"247\">Flesh D-Vice<\/a><\/strong>,<a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/t-a-b\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"501\"><strong>TAB<\/strong><\/a> and out of town bands such as <strong>Sticky Filth<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">In 1997, Steve Andrews relocated to London, putting Vas Deferens on hiatus. During this period, Andrews occasionally returned to New Zealand and performed with <strong>Flesh D-Vice<\/strong> as their vocalist, stepping in after the death of their singer, Gerald Dwyer, in 1996. A notable 2002 performance at Valve saw Andrews fronting Flesh D-Vice while Vas Deferens also played, joined by another 1980s Wellington band, <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/upthepunks.co.nz\/2022\/06\/wazzo-ghoti\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"609\">Wazzo Ghoti<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">Vas Deferens reunited in 2008 for a series of 20th-anniversary shows in Wellington and Auckland, reigniting their legacy. What may have been their final gig with Andrews on vocals occurred on November 29, 2008, at <strong>The Adelaide<\/strong>. Tragically, Andrews\u2019 life was cut short in December 2012 when he was fatally assaulted outside a pub in Putney, South West London. Friends rallied to raise $13,000 through a benefit gig in January 2013 to repatriate his body to Wellington. At this event, Vas Deferens performed with Gerry Moran taking over vocals and Simon Gotlieb joining as a second guitarist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:17px\">This new lineup continued the band\u2019s legacy, playing sporadic shows around Wellington and releasing the EP <em>Mad Mothers, Man<\/em> in 2015 and the album <em>Only Got Yourself To Blame<\/em> in 2016. However, Vas Deferens officially disbanded in December 2016, closing the chapter on a nearly three-decade run of degenerate fun times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p
