The Brew links us to another band here, The Underdogs, whose guitarist Harvey Mann played with Doug Jerebine while in The Brew together. They evolved in Auckland from the Underground Blues Band in 1966. and quickly achieved a reputation as a wild live act. They played on the national TV pop show "C'mon!" and lasted until 1970 (with a brief late-70s reformation) after many lineup changes and an unsuccessful relocation to Wellington. Many members moved on to other notable bands, some of which also appear on this comp; singer Murray Grindlay went on to an incarnation of Cruise Lane (appearing on the next NZ volume), bassist Neil Edwards was in Human Instinct (this volume and Vol3) and Headband (next NZ volume), Harvey Mann later lead Space Farm (this volume) and Living Force (this volume) and finally drummer Glen Absolum played with Ticket (coming next).
