State House Kid

Very smart clean vinyl with a nice crisp clean cover.

Formed in 1984, Last Man Down, led by Ross Mullins, received critical attention for its quality musicianship and particularly for the innovative sketches of New Zealand urban life in Ross’ lyrics.

Last Man Down’s first album State House Kid was released in June 1985, was uniformly praised by reviewers and sold in excess of 2000 copies.

Between 1986 and 1988 Last Man Down released two further collections of Ross’s songs which made an immediate impact on the press and sold in healthy numbers. Two of the albums State House Kid and This Sporting Life were N.Z. Music Awards finalists for their sleeve design and the final album Parting Shots was released in the U.S.A.
