User:Penknife Glides

Penknife Glides were a New Zealand pop/reggae band formed in 1980 by Cliff 'Skeats' Gravelle following the demise of punk band The Primmers. Perhaps best described as British pop with a slice of pork pie, the band featured Steve Gravelle on vocals, Skeats guitar, Jules Moloney Bass and Stefan Morris on drums. PKG were signed to WEA records and produced one single and two EP's between 1980/82 before moving to London. The band are probably most well known for their reggae song 'Taking The Weight Off'. Skeats later went on to form The Wyrd Things in London in the mid eighties. A band featuring Nasty Suicide from Hanoi Rocks, Terry Chimes ex Clash, Dave Tregunna ex Sham 69 and James Vane. Penknife Glides are still releasing new material today under their own label.
