Today's band, New Zealand wave act Car Crash Set, formed in 1983, rising from the ashes of pioneering underground post-punk act Danse Macabre. Upon the band's demise, vocalist Nigel Russell would recruit a series of synth players pursue a more electronic direction with Car Crash Set. (Side note: their name points to the influence of pioneering wave track 'Warm Leatherette' by the Normal and the Ballard novel that inspired it, Crash).
The band would release one full length record (1984's No Accident) as well as one EP and a handful of singles before splitting in 1986. I've uploaded both sides of their 1983-released Two Songs single for your listening pleasure:

Otherwise, that's all I have on these gentlemen. Any more information about this fine band would be most appreciated!
