Bassist Alan Deare was originally in a Rotorua band called [[Number Thieves]] along with [[Jonathan Armstrong]].  He and Armstrong formed [[Book of Martyrs]] in about 1988 and moved to Hamilton in 1990, continuing with the group until 1993.  Deare and Armstrong shared vocal duties in the band, and Deare's distinctive style of bass playing was one of several unique aspects of the band's overall instrumentation to distinguish them on the New Zealand music scene at the time.
