Renamed the And Band after moving to Christchurch, the group wound down sometime around 1982, but not before influencing local musicians and releasing an incredibly rare split 7” EP (with the Perfect Strangers) and this LP—originally available on cassette only. Outhern features George D. Henderson, who would later go on to form the Puddle (Flying Nun), and should appeal to fans of early Red Krayola and The Godz.

What's The Reason?
The And Band Lyrics

Tell me what's the reason you
Keep on teasin' me?
Tell me what's the reason you
Keep on teasin' me?
You say that you don't love me but
You just won't let me be

Tell me what's the reason that you
Do the things you do?
Tell me what's the reason you

Do the things you do?
You say that you don't love me
Stop breakin' my heart in two

Well, I get up in the mornin'
And I'm feelin' kinda good
Hopin' that my baby would do
The things she should
I'd take her in my arms
And hold her real tight
All she wants to do is start another fight
Tell me what's the reason you
Keep on teasin' me?
Said that you don't love me but
You just won't let me be

Hit me

Well, I get up in the mornin'
I'm feelin' kinda good
Hopin' that my baby would do
The things she should
I'd take her in my arms
And hold her real tight
All she wants to do is start another fight

Tell me what's the reason you
Keep on teasin' me?
You say that you don't love me but
You just won't let me be
