The Retaliation were resident at The Scene Niteclub and were managed by Barry Johnston.  Barry Leef (then of The Simple Image) connected with the local Christchurch members of the group and decided to jump ship just prior to the band heading off to Sydney, Australia.  Leef's tenure as Retaliation vocalist was to prove a fairly short one, and he rejoined The Simple Image in Sydney.
