LIVE The Heartbreakers Hello Sailor
Hello Sailor Island of Real, Auckland. I'll admit it, I like Hello Sailor. They've had their problems transferring effectively into larger venues witness their support of Melanie in Auckland and their top-billing spot at the Wellington Arts Festival rock concert but in a smaller venue there’s no one to touch them. The supreme hard-working, hard-rocking band in NZ at the moment. In Auckland they’re developing a very large and well deserved following, so it’s no surprise that the Island of Real was packed. The Sailors played what has now be-
come a standard set for them; Originals that will be included on their album and a wise choice of others material bbing”, Thin Lizzy’s “The Boys Are Back in Town’’, Desmond Dekker’s
“Shantytown”, and as a finale the Velvet Underground’s “White Light, White Heat”, in the right sized venue such as this, they’re a pretty superb unit, and Rickey Ball’s muscular drumming was particularly impressive. Me? I’m waiting for the album. So when is it gonna be released? Huh? Alastair Dougal
