FLIGHT X-7

Flight X-7 were a New Zealand pop band, originally from Hamilton, before becoming Auckland based. Their first incarnation was Flight 77, which formed after another earlier band, Euphoria, dissolved in the late '70s. There were various member line-ups, but Tim Powles drummed on these, their only two singles. No album ever materialized. Flight X-7 supported XTC at the Logan Campbell Centre on Sept. 15, 1980. They also played the Nambassa Music Festival in 1980, and 1981 & 1982 Sweetwaters Music Festivals.
