Above Ground
Above Ground was a band from Christchurch, New Zealand formed in 1983.
History
Above Ground developed out of the friendship of the four members: Bill Direen, Carol Woodward, Maryrose Wilkinson and Stuart Page. The group played locally and at the Punakaiki Music Festival ; and would have been forgotten like a lot of bands had Page not recorded nearly every practice and concert and organised the "Gone AIWA" cassette, re-released in 2011 on vinyl by Siltbreeze.Historian of NZ music John Dix mentions the group in his encyclopaedia of NZ rock and roll Stranded in Paradise: New Zealand Rock'n'Roll, 1955-1988.
