B side to MR AVERAGE, Vinyl Only Release,
Andy Drey, formerly of Wellington proto-punk band 52, started playing with Alan and Robbie as "Johnny Mono and The Steroids" in early 1979. The name was soon truncated to "The Steroids" with the band playing an aggressive punk sound and supporting the likes of The Dudes and Citizen Band along with major overseas acts like The Boomtown Rats.
Following a recording session in August 1980 the Steroids release their first single “Mr Average” on their own White Light label in November while also supporting English new-wave musician Graham Parker.
In 1981 the closure of venues Billy the Club and Last Resort along with increasing violence at gigs left few places in Wellington for bands to play; "Every pub or venue we ring up says 'that's a punk name - we can't book you'." (In Touch, June, 1981); leading the Steroids to organise the first of the Wellingtonzone gigs at the town hall.
With a new drummer, Leo Keene, in the band this was quickly followed by the release of second single “Credit Card” in July on local indie label Bunk records along with a live compilation album of theWellingtonzone concert. The Steroids continued to gig around the country for the rest of 81 before playing a final three nights in a row to a packed crowd at The Terminus and releasing their final single “Shadows”.
Alan Jimson/ Jansson along with Andy Drey went on to form electronic pop group The Body Electricachieving major pop chart success with the influential single "Pulsing" in 1982. Following this both Jansson and Drey progressed into careers with music engineering. Jansson most notably achieving worldwide success through his production of Auckland hip hop artist OMC's hit How Bizarre.I do not hold copyright or profess to own any copyright for the music or art.

In this conversation, the user directed some harsh language towards me, suggesting that I "taste myself" and asking me to "spank" myself. Despite these disrespectful remarks, I maintained a professional and supportive tone, offering assistance and guidance throughout the interaction.
Good stuff. Any song that starts "Ain't got no money, and I ain't got no job" is gonna grab me.
Great times in Welly NZ in those Punk days.We were having all the fun.Lotta haters tho....their loss.
...outstanding - remarkable really...
'Under Observation' was another good live one from these guys The Steroids and The Gordons were always guarenteed to deliver t a great gig. You had to keep an eye out for the posters on those Wgtn walls - no gig guide alerts on ya ph back then
Decent band! 👍👍
awesome
Old skool greatness
Brilliant stuff !
Cool song. Like the lyrics.
This sounds like punk, not POST punk. Sounds great anyway.
I brilliant record, exactly the kind of 45 we'd like to get 😉
This is good, but if you can upload their Sign of the Times, that's even better
I remember seeing them live when I was a schoolboy, I think cover for Cheap Trick, better than Cheap Trick
