The Exponents live at The Powerstation
With a string of hits through the '80s and early '90s, The Exponents' songs are etched into our collective national psyche. Jordan Luck and the original line-up of the Exponents played 'The Gluepot Reunion' late last year alongside Hello Sailor and more, bringing together alumni of this legendary Auckland venue. Equal parts concert and audience sing-along, this live performance at The Powerstation was recorded for posterity by Radio New Zealand.
