Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 9th July 1986.

"Palmerston North band Thin Red Line are off to Auckland tomorrow to record songs for a new EP. The record, their second, will probably go under the title Simplicity. Again, Phil Yule will produce and Mascot Studios will be the recording venue.

TRL are now down to a three-piece following the departure of vocalist Karen Rush to Wellington shortly after the debut's Ep release. Bass player Steven Thomas has assumed vocal duties assisted by Fiona Masters (guitar/flute/percussion).

Keyboard player Dave White said the new sound is quite different because of the change of vocalist and many of the old songs have had to be replaced. "Some elements of the music are pretty similar because of my keyboards though."

The band recently did the final mix on their contribution to the upcoming Meltdown Records compilation of Palmerston North bands -- a song called Economics. Live work will begin when they return from Auckland, starting with a gig at the Teachers College on July 23.
