From 1977 to 1979, Rough Justice was one of the hardest-working bands in New Zealand, despite never releasing any commercial recordings. Fronted by Rick Bryant, they toured tirelessly in a former railways bus. They played their last show together in January 1980 at the Brown Trout Festival in Dannevirke.
Rough Justice is getting back together for three summer performances. For Access All Areas Rick Bryant, Nick Bollinger and Tony Backhouse reminisce with Trevor Reekie about the musical travels and tribulations of Rough Justice.
