Nunchukka Superfly 95, the previously unreleased ‘first’ album from the long-running Hard-Ons off-shoot Nunchukka Superfly, is out now on Cheersquad Records & Tapes.
Formed by Ray Ahn and Peter Black after the initial Hard-Ons split in ’93 with Massappeal drummer Peter Allen, the new group eventually found the frontman they were looking for in former Harpoon vocalist and future Drones co-founder (and now JJ McCann Transmission mainman) James McCann. The group recorded an album in 1995, but cracks were showing and after one last show at the Big Day Out in 1996, the line-up called it quits, with Ray and Blackie going on to form another line-up. The album remained unreleased. With James recently unearthing a copy of the master, and all involved giving it a good listen for the first time in decades and giving it the thumbs up, that album now finally sees the light of day as Nunchukka Superfly 95.
To mark the album’s release, the original ’95 line up – Ray, Blackie, Peter and James – will reform for a number of album launches in July and August.
