| − | Inspired in part by the antics of [[Wendyhouse]], the [[Big Muffin Serious Band]] and The Residents, Avant Garbage attempted to integrate performance into the music. Costumes, dance, props, toys and various other instruments were used in and around their songs. They played quirky original compositions with some rock overtones. Gigs included at Waikato University's [[Wailing Bongo]] and the basement of the notorious [[56 Memorial Drive]]. An album length cassette, '[[De Compost Collection]]' was recorded by [[Greg Locke]] of [[Orange Recordings]]. The review in Real Groove magazine was reasonably complimentary.
