Summary
After disco came punk and then post-punk and new wave. From a military family, clinical psychologist John Watts created Fischer Z, a group that morphed into art-punk. Formed in 1976 and hitting it big with the 1980 single So Long, Watts and Fischer Z went on to challenge the listening world with words, music, art and the feeling that there is always more to do. Touring Australia later this year, Fischer Z celebrating 50 years of artful chaos. Here, we speak with John about all of the above, and his love of cricket and rugby and the fact that life has strings.
