Mi-Sex! A ragged assortment of prog rockers, bar band hacks & a former tv talent show winner, they reinvented themselves as a new wave band & produced a bunch of fantastically wtf hits, etched into the brain of every good Kiwi. Their best was 1979's "Computer Games" - k-rad lyrics like "I fidget with the digit dots / And cry an anxious tear / As the X-U-1 connects the spot / But the matrix grid don't care", & a chorus of the song title delivered as stuttering space invaders fire! Here's the video:

Mi-Sex - "Computer Games" (look out, it's 38 megabytes & in .mpg format)

. . . anyone want to compile footage of keyboardists ROCKING OUT?

ESSKAY this is AMAZING!! Also his pronouncation makes 'matrix grid' sound like METRIC SQUID which is brilliant! And what's with the yelping! Wow if this is what NZ had in 1979 whilst we had Sham 69 I am well jealous (or something)! Are there any real actual mp3s of their stuff?

these opportune commuters! are blasting on their hooters!

I don't think my work connection is up to a naughty 38mb but I will give this a punt when I get home (or download an MP3)
