Biography

New Zealand folk-pop group Dribbling Darts was founded in 1989 by former Sneaky Feelings vocalist/guitarist Matthew Bannister, and was originally completed by ex-Remarkables bassist Alan Gregg and violinist Alice Bulmer. Originally dubbed the Dribbling Darts of Love, the trio debuted in 1991 with the EP Shoot; by the time of the follow-up EP, Florid Dabblers Voting, drummer Richard Foulkes, Jr. had been recruited, and was later replaced briefly by ex-Sneaky Feelings drummer Martin Durrant. The Dribbling Darts were silent for the next two years as Bannister and Bulmer focused on raising their child, but finally resurfaced in 1993 with the single "Hey Judith," quickly followed by the full-length Present Perfect. ~ Jason Ankeny, All Music Guide

Dribbling Darts (originally Dribbling Darts of Love) were a New Zealand band based in Auckland which existed from 1989 to 1993. The name is a quote from William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure, Act I, Scene III: "Believe not that the dribbling dart of love..." (may be a reference to Cupid).

The band were formed by Matthew Bannister when his move from Dunedin to Auckland led to the demise of his former band, the "Dunedin Sound" group Sneaky Feelings). Other members of the Dribbling Darts of Love included Alice Bulmer, Ross Burge and Alan Gregg. They had a NZ Top 40 song with the offbeat "Hey Judith".

Richard Foulkes Junior played drums on Florid Dabblers Voting (the title of which was an anagram of the band's name).
