Hunters and Collectors (above) have already discovered the delights of jogging around Hagley Park, but not so their manager, who staggered in after a 90-minute run, having got lost Appropriately enough, the Australian the band were staying at the Australasian Motor Inn, for it is this part of the world that the group work from. For Mark Seymour, the band’s vocalist, the trend has changed from the band being a New Zea-
land discovery to becoming increasingly well known in Australia. The band are already in the second week of a New Zealand tour to promote the new album, “Human Frailty,” but Seymour said that the band did not need to work as hard to promote the new disc in Australia, because they had already been playing the new material in Australia before the LP was released. This is the band’s fourth visit to New Zea-
land In five years, but for Seymour the style of the band is much the same except for new songs and a more dynamic sound. Because of voice problems for Seymour, tomorrow evening’s show at the Gladstone Tavern has been cancelled but Saturday’s, a ticket-only affair, is still on. Seymour explained his voice problem as saying that he has not got a particularly strong voice and he has to be careful and conserve it
