The Enemy (NZ)

The Enemy were a Punk Rock band from Dunedin, New Zealand, that are often seen as the starting point of the Dunedin Sound rock movement. Formed early 1977 and fronted by vocalist Chris Knox with bassist Mick Dawson, drummer Mike Dooley, and guitarist Alec Bathgate, the band were strongly influenced by artists similar to those cited by the then-ascendant international punk rock music scene. Elements of Glam Rock, Hard Rock and the catchy chart-pop music of the 1960s were fused with definitive Pre-Punk acts like Lou Reed and Iggy Pop (who is referred to in the song "Iggy Told Me", during the performance of which Knox would often intentionally cut himself, drawing blood). During the last months of 1978, bassist Mick Dawson left to return to Dunedin and former Split Enz member Phil Judd joined the band, but the lineup proved incompatible. Due to these and other tensions (the 'Punk' label was becoming something of a burden), The Enemy ceased soon after.
