ARTIST: The Puddle
Seminal Dunedin band The Puddle was formed in 1983 by leader-singer-writer-guitarist George D Henderson and bassist Ross Jackson and was soon joined by Lesley Paris & Norma O'Malley (Look Blue Go Purple) and Peter Gutteridge (The Great Unwashed, Snapper). The Puddle's 1986 – 93 Flying Nun Records catalogue of an 12" EP, two albums and a single are long out of print, but a Lazarus-like comeback over the past 5 years has seen the release of 4 new albums to international acclaim. The latest album "Playboys in the Bush" is out now CD and vinyl LP with a further LP due early 2012.
The current line up of The Puddle features long-time fan Gavin Shaw on bass, multi-instrumentalist Alan Starrett on keyboards & viola and George's brother (and original 1984 Puddle drummer) Ian on drums...
