Car Crash Set

Car Crash Set were a leading New Zealand band in the mid 80s pioneering 'electronic' music that was in many respects ahead of their time. The band founding members consisted of Nigel Russell ex-Spelling Mistakes/Danse Macabre, Dave Bulog and Trevor Reekie. Taking their influences from New Order, Suicide and DAF, the band employed cutting edge electronic sounds, guitar overdrive and feedback. The band has released several singles, as well as one album and EP remixed and produced by John Fryer from Blackwing Studios/Mute fame. The band has also tour extensively as well as playing several key supports for the likes of OMD, Shriekback and Hunters and Collectors. They disbanded in the early 90s with members going on to become The Greg Johnson Set. [SOURCE: NEW ZEALAND MUSICIANS AND BANDS]
