Thursday music corner: Dance Exponents, founded by vocalist Jordan Luck and guitarist Brian Jones, were the original 1980s incarnation of the truncated Exponents that took the New Zealand music charts by storm in the 1990s. Formed in 1981 and relocating from Timaru to Christchurch, the Dance Exponents released three successful albums: Prayers Be Answered (1983), Expectations (1985) and Amplifier (1986) and had nine New Zealand top 40 singles; the first, 1982's Victoria, being their most popular.
As the Exponents the band went on to greater success in the 1990s, including three top ten albums and ten more top 40 singles. They attained their peak popularity thanks to the Something Beginning with C album from 1992, which featured twin New Zealand number three-charting singles in 1991, Why Does Love Do This To Me and Who Loves Who The Most.
Sex & Agriculture was a non-album Dance Exponents single from 1984, which followed up the barroom stomper I'll Say Goodbye (Even Though I'm Blue).
