About Me


Wellingtonian 'spaz rockers' currently stationed in Melbourne. Known for their blistering live show and mind control tactics . Recording debut album at present....
"To describe 1QA as "awesome" would be akin to saying the same of an electrical storm; its ferocity matched with unmistakable beauty make it a frightening delight to behold. Never before have I seen a band so meticulously random, taking melodies and rhythms from thin air and combining them in a melting pot of talent and insanity. Revelling in their post-punk origins, these Melbournian ex-Kiwis were truly special, and would have to have been a highlight for everybody. The fact that their truly punk rock finale, all microphone-destroying crowd violence and screaming viciousness, might (so I hear) have caused their frontman to enter into convulsions coming off-stage, only adds to the incredulity of their performance."
