Background notes
Archive material and source history
Gods of Blitz formed in Auckland in 1978 with Bobby Longhorn on vocals, Billy Bombshell on guitar, Piet Pieters on bass, and Jed Town on drums. They put out records like 'Blitz!' in 1979 and 'Assassins of Love' in 1981, working in that New Zealand punk and new wave space that was happening at the time.
Their song 'A Cat Named Dog' became one of those tracks people remember, with its oddball title and straightforward punk energy. They also had songs like 'A Life Replica' and 'Critical Masses, Different Classes' that followed a similar vein.
Longhorn had a reputation for being outspoken, and their shows could get pretty rowdy. They kept at it through the early eighties, releasing 'The Best of Gods of Blitz' in 1984, which collected a lot of that earlier material.
