Biografia:
Blam Blam Blam were a New Zealand pop/rock/alternative band. Tim Mahon (bass) and Mark Bell (guitar,vo) had been members of The Plague and The Whizz Kids. After losing their drummer Ian Gilroy to The Swingers in 1980, Tim and Mark joined up with Don McGlashan, a multi-instrumentalist who played drums and sang many lead vocals.
The band's first release was the song Motivation on the Propeller Records Class of 81 compilation album. They then released a four-track self-titled EP for the label, which hit the top 40 in New Zealand.

This is a (simplified) chord-only version of
There Is No Depression In New Zealand,
lyrics by Richard von Sturmer and music Don McGlashan in 1981.
I don't claim it to be my own
but I feel it's an important New Zealand song
and when I couldn't find chords or tabs for it
online I thought I should rectify that!
Unfortunately due to my lack of skill I haven't included
any of the solo bits; feel free to submit
them yourselves if you know them.
Enjoy. :)
