Thursday music corner: The Spelling Mistakes were a short-lived four-piece Auckland punk outfit led that achieved some prominence in 1979 and 1980 amidst a wave of like-minded bands. Feels So Good was their first and only single released during the band's existence. In June 1980 its lickety-split punk energy and the band's youthful fan-base helped it reach number 29 in the New Zealand charts in a five-week run. The single's video was also featured on TV's Radio With Pictures. Three months later the band split up in response to being barred from multiple music venues due to obnoxious behaviour, only reforming briefly in 1999.
