RIOT 111 - 1981 LP BACK TO BLACK from CBGB and Rock ‘n’LP IMPORT RIOT 111 was born from the 1981 anti apartheid springbok tour protest on Molesworth St, Wellington when police broke up a peaceful protest by savagely beating protestors with batons. Shocked by the violence they had witnessed, protest organisers VOID and ROGER RIOT formed RIOT 111. Were gonna record a protest song called 1981, well be New Zealands Sex Pistols! said Void, Roger, play a tribal drum beat that sounds like a haka! RIOT 111 self
