The Mockers were a New Zealand pop band formed in Wellington in 1979 by Andrew Fagan. Fagan was the only ever-present of the band's line-up whose initial members were mostly drawn from Fagan's Rongotai College classmates. Their most well-known songs include "One Black Friday" and "Forever Tuesday Morning". The Mockers' style drew on punk and new wave influences from the UK and performances centred on Fagan's flamboyant stage presence. Other band members included Charlie Mannell (drums), Gary Curtis (keyboards, vocals), Steve Thorpe (drums), Dale Monaghan (guitar), Dean Hazlewood, Brett Adams (guitar), Geoff Hayden (bass), Tim Wedde (keyboards), Murray Costello, Gordon Costello, Brendan Fitzgerald, Barry Caitcheon and Paul Lightfoot (guitar).
The group broke up in 1988, after which Fagan embarked on a solo career. Since then, they have periodically reunited for various concert tours, most recently the Sounds Series in 2024.
