Sunday quiz No.5: Max Merritt & the Meteors

As anyone who regularly reads this BLOG will know, this quiz is the last of 5 quizzes. These came into being because there is a young Kiwi guy working in a cafe I go to often & his knowledge of Kiwi music & musicians is lacking. Staffing at cafes changes often but while there were 3 regulars on each Sunday these quizzes were fun.

  1. Where did the band form?
  2. Which club did they often play in during their early years in that city?
  3. How did Operation Deep Freeze help them?
  4. Which year did they shift to Australia?
  5. Which well known actor (now deceased) was their drummer in the mid-60s?
  6. What tragedy did they have in 1967?
  7. Who joined on bass guitar in 1970 (to replace Yuk)?
  8. They went to the UK in 1970. Names 2 of the high profile bands they supported in either the UK or Europe?
  9. Which major festival did they perform at in 1972 & 1973?
  10. Name the big hit they had in 1975.
  11. Which jeans do you associate Max Merritt with? Why?
