The Axemen and a stalwart of the New Zealand underground scene. As The Axemen faded away in the early 1990s, Cardy put together the auckland-based Shaft with Tony Rush (bass - moved toWellington and joinedThe Users ) and Rich Mixture (drums - joinedThe Rock'n'Roll Machine ), with formerAxel Grinders guitarist John Segovia (who left to formThe Radio Kings ) joining soon after. Since that time the lineup has changed considerably, with many members coming and going. The current lineup includes Cardy as well as all members ofThe Situations .Discography
