THE KLERKS

From Sydney's northern beaches, The Klerks ventured into the inner city throughout 1979 and became a regular Friday night fixture at the Sussex Hotel. At that time, the venue was evolving into the epicentre of the Sydney mod scene - the Klerks shared a stage there with the likes of The Sets and rubbed shoulders with other future mod scene-makers. Musically the band played raw and menacing punk rock. They released one single ''I Need A Pardon / Love And Pain'' in 1983 and an EP 'The Grooves Tapes' in 1985. Both on the Vi-nil label. Their songs ''I Need A Pardon'' and ''Love And Pain'' was added to the compilation album 'Indie Sounds From The Harbour City (1983-1987) Volume 1' released in 2022. Billy Ovation died in the late 90s.
