Description

This image was taken for a story that ran in The Manawatu Evening Standard on 23rd September 1980.

"Wellington band Backstreet are in Palmerston North tonight (Tuesday) for one concert only, complete with badges and posters. The four-piece group has only been together for about four months, playing mainly at The Club in Wellington, but hopes to have a single out by Christmas. Backstreet were in the city about a month ago.

Vocalist Chris West said they've sorted out a lot of new material since then. The single is likely to be "fairly rocky and very dance orientated." The bans will also be competing in The Battle of The Bands next month. They will appear at the Cloverlea. [Pictured] Allan Jenkins, left (guitar), Barton Price (drums), Don MacKay (bass) and Chris West (vocals and guitar)."
