This is the final single from Pop Mechanix. Originally formed in Christchurch in 1979 as Splash Ally. By the time Pale Sun was release only Bassist Paul Scott and Guitarist Paul Mason remained from the first line up. The final line up, now based in Auckland featured vocalist Andrew McLennan and ex D.D. Smash drummer Peter Warren. In the meantime they had a couple of minor hits in New Zealand. They moved to Australia and changed their name to NZ Pop then Zoo. Andrew McLennan left to join The Swingers and then rejoined the band. They had also moved back to New Zealand and change their name back to Pop Mechanix. A detailed history of the band can be found here.
