Life In The Fridge Exists
Life In The Fridge Exists left just three songs from their brief late 1970s, early 1980s existence, the best being a sharp-edged version of ‘Have You Checked The Children?’ from **** (Four Stars), the 1981 compilation from Sausage Records that captured the peaking Wellington post-punk scene.
The fractured rocker had a twin vocal assault courtesy of Sam Swan and Sue Forbes and a menacing cyclic riff from Nick Swan (guitar), Nino Birch (bass) and drummer Alison, and featured strongly in Chris Knox’s November 1980 street view documentary on the Wellington Terrace Scene.
