Above Ground was a band from Christchurch, New Zealand formed in 1983.
History
Above Ground developed out of the friendship of the four members: Bill Direen (Guitar/Vocals), Carol Woodward (Keyboards), Maryrose Wilkinson (Bass/Vocals) and Stuart Page (Drums). The group played locally and at the Punakaiki Music Festival (West Coast, New Zealand); and would have been forgotten like a lot of bands had Page not recorded nearly every practice and concert and organised the "Gone AIWA" cassette (1983), re-released in 2011 on vinyl by Siltbreeze.[citation needed]
Historian of NZ music John Dix mentions the group in his encyclopaedia of NZ rock and roll Stranded in Paradise: New Zealand Rock'n'Roll, 1955-1988.[1]
