Radio de The Swingers

The Swingers were a New Zealand rock band. Formed out of the remnants of The Suburban Reptiles, the founding members were Phil Judd (guitar, vocals), Bones Hillman (bass), and Buster Stiggs (drums). Formed in 1979, the band released the single, One Good Reason which was a top 20 hit in New Zealand. They also appeared on the Ripper Records sampler AK79 and established a large live following after a residency at Auckland's Liberty Stage club. In 1980 the band moved to Australia, and signed for Mushroom Records for that country although their New Zealand releases remained on Ripper. [1]
