History

1972-1975: Early years in New Zealand

Dragon formed in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1972 with a line-up that featured Todd Hunter (bass guitar), guitarist Ray Goodwin, drummer Neil Reynolds and singer Graeme Collins.^[6] All had been in various short-lived bands in Auckland, Collins is credited with using I Ching to provide the name Dragon. Their first major gig was an appearance at the The Great Ngaruawahia Music Festival in early January 1973.^[3] By 1974 several personnel changes had occurred, with Todd Hunter's younger brother Marc Hunter joining on vocals and Neil Storey on drums.^[6] The band recorded two progressive rock albums in their native New Zealand, Universal Radio in 1974 and Scented Gardens for the Blind in 1975 both on Vertigo Records.^[6][16] Robert Taylor (ex-Mammal) joined on guitar as the band searched for a more pop sound under manager Graeme Nesbitt (ex-Mammal) who felt they should now tackle the larger Australian market.^[16] Nesbitt had obtained regular gigs and organised their first New Zealand tours,^[3] but was unable to travel to Australia - he'd been arrested for selling drugs.^[3][16] For other uses, see Auckland (disambiguation). ...

1975-1979: Initial stardom

Dragon relocated to Sydney in May 1975, landed a contract with CBS Records after being seen by record producer Peter Dawkins,^[2][3][16] and sent for keyboard player Paul Hewson who had a reputation, in New Zealand, as a pop songwriter.^[3] Hewson had been scouted by Nesbitt when Dragon were still in New Zealand but had declined to join at that time.^[3] Often courting or creating controversy, the band was rocked by the heroin overdose death of drummer Neil Storey in September 1976, aged 22.^[4][16][12] By then, founding member Goodwin had left the group, and their single "This Time" had begun charting.^[16] This article is about the metropolitan area in Australia. ...

After considering disbanding, Todd Hunter consulted with Nesbitt who advised him to continue and organised for Kerry Jacobson (ex-Mammal) to join on drums.^[3] Between 1977 and 1979, the line-up of the Hunter brothers, Taylor, Hewson and Jacobson had a string of major hits on the Australian National charts with singles "April Sun in Cuba", "Are You Old Enough?" and "Still In Love With You" and albums Sunshine, Running Free and O Zambezi. These releases made them one of Australia's most popular rock acts.^[1][4] They attempted a breakthrough into the American market with a tour supporting Johnny Winter, starting in November 1978, but this was foiled after a disastrous show in Texas at which Marc Hunter, incited a crowd by suggesting all Texans were "faggots": band members had to dodge flying beer bottles.^[2][3][16] John Dawson Johnny Winter III (born on 23 February 1944 in Beaumont, Texas, USA) is an American blues guitarist, singer, and producer. ...

In 1994, Marc Hunter related his version of the Texas show to rock journalist Glenn A. Baker: This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

"I remember seeing someone standing holding a pistol and shouting 'Im gonna kill you, you son of a bitch'... I didn't know it but by this point the rest of the band had left the stage. I was still singing because I could still hear the music in my head. It took ages to clear the pile of debris on the stage - broken glass, bottles, chairs, half a table - but I was totally unaware of this, I thought I was going over really well and I'm standing there in a crucifixion pose with my arms out, really gone, with heaps of eye make-up on, looking like some sort of twisted priest. And apparently Johnny Winter was taking bets on the side of the stage as to how long it would take before somebody shot me. Then I turned around and saw no one was on stage so I realised I wasn't going over too well after all and I went back to the dressing room and everyone was just standing there... I said 'We went great, weren't we terrific?' At that stage of the band I was really a shocking sod. And all the record company people were just staring at me like I was an insectoid from Mars. And so that was it for us for that trip to America."^[17] John Dawson Johnny Winter III (born on 23 February 1944 in Beaumont, Texas, USA) is an American blues guitarist, singer, and producer. ...

—Marc Hunter , 1994

Upon returning to Sydney, Marc Hunter was sacked from Dragon in February 1979 due to drug problems which were seriously affecting both his vocal performances and his general health.^[3][4][16] According to Todd Hunter:

"Things like Dallas happened all the time... Most of the time I wasn't drinking or anything and, from my perspective, this Fall of the Roman Empire thing was pretty wild. I hated a lot of it. People came along because they wanted to see Dragon decombust. They were enjoying it but Marc was just killing himself. We had to fire him or he'd have destroyed himself."^[17]

—Todd Hunter, 1994

Singer Billy Rogers formerly of Perth group Last Chance Cafe and violinist Richard Lee from Melbourne band Sidewinder were recruited and Dragon recorded the commercially unsuccessful Power Play LP before breaking up in December 1979.^[3][4][6]

1979-1982: First split

Marc Hunter cleaned up in the post-Dragon years and released two successful solo singles, "Island Nights" (1979) from Fiji Bitter and "Big City Talk" (1981) from Big City Talk.^[16] "Big City Talk"'s video was filmed in the Broadway Tunnel, a long and dreary pedestrian walkway linking Sydney's Central Station with Broadway. It captured the seedy and unsettling atmosphere of the tunnel, adding extra mood to the song's words. Central Railway Station (also known as Sydney Terminal) is the largest railway station in Australia. ...

Todd Hunter had meanwhile teamed up with his partner (and later second wife) Johanna Pigott, formerly of indie punk group XL Capris,^[6] and together they became a successful songwriting team.^[1] XL Capris were not commercially successful, although their memorable re-working of crooner Tommy Leonetti's "My City Of Sydney" became a minor cult classic. Todd Hunter produced both their albums Where's Hank? (March 1981) and Weeds (October 1981), and was a member of the band for the second.^[6] Johanna Pigott is an Australian musician, singer/songwriter and screenwriter. ...

1982-1997: Reformation

Dragon reformed in 1982 to pay off outstanding debts, with the band then staying together when their second comeback single, "Rain", proved to be a #2 hit in 1983,^[18] but Jacobson left the band for health reasons and was replaced by British drummer Terry Chambers (ex-XTC), American keyboard player and Dragon's producer Alan Mansfield also joined.^[6] Mansfield had worked for Robert Palmer (including guitar for the "John and Mary" single from Palmer's album Clues) and Bette Midler in the late 1970s,^[19] by 1982 Mansfield was living in Sydney and produced tracks for Marc Hunter.^[20] Marc Hunter convinced Mansfield to also produce Dragon's single "Rain".^[20] Year 1982 (MCMLXXXII) was a common year starting on Friday (link displays the 1982 Gregorian calendar). ...

Dragon's 1984 album Body and the Beat became one of the biggest-selling albums in Australia and New Zealand; they were restored to something close to their late 1970s glory. Their public profile was further raised by Marc Hunter's solo album, Communication. Its title track became a moderate hit in Australia and featured a loosely cabaret-oriented video-clip filmed in Amsterdam in which Marc — resplendent in a bright red cowbot hat — was flanked by two women who also danced away under red Stetsons. Body and the Beat yielded further successful Australasian singles, notably "Magic" and "Cry". Mansfield and New Zealand-born singer-songwriter Sharon O'Neill met on Dragon's Body And The Beat tour: they later became domestic and professional partners.^[21] This article is about the year. ...

Paul Hewson left Dragon and died of a drug overdose in New Zealand on 9 January 1985;^[16][22] fellow members Terry Chambers and Robert Taylor left some time after. Dragon performed three songs for the 13 July 2005 Oz for Africa concert (part of the global Live Aid program) - "Speak No Evil", "Rain" and "Are You Old Enough?"; which was broadcast in Australia (on both Seven Network and Nine Network) and on MTV in the US.^[23] American drummer Doane Perry replaced Chambers, and Taylor was eventually succeeded by local Sydney guitar ace Tommy Emmanuel. This line-up recorded the Todd Rundgren-produced Dreams of Ordinary Men album in 1986 and toured Europe with Tina Turner under the name Hunter in 1987. By this time Mansfield was writing with O'Neill they wrote "Western Girls" for Dreams of Ordinary Men and then three tracks for her 1987 solo album Danced in the Fire.^[21] The term drug overdose (or simply overdose) describes the ingestion or application of a drug or other substance in quantities greater than are recommended or generally practiced. ... is the 9th day of the year in the Gregorian calendar. ...
