Description

The information for this image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 17th October 1979.

"Think are an original 70's New Zealand rock band playing their own brand of highly listenable dance music flavoured by the many talents and diverse roots of the individual members. Bassman/singer Allan Badger turned professional at the age of 16 and played with many New Zealand bands before forming the successful Tracks who toured extensively for over a year. He then helped form the early three-piece Think.

In 1975 Think was joined by guitarist Phil Whitehead whose professional career spans 10 years playing in both New Zealand and Australia. He had been associated with other name bands like Father Time and the long-established Human Instinct. Currently his playing is highlighted by his brilliant use of the recently developed Roland guitar synthesizer which must be heard to be believed.

All this week, Think are appearing at the Awapuni Motor Hotel and according to the band's manager, Lindsay Flint, a number of complimentary admission tickets are available from the Central Service Station."
