Dead Image were an 80s punk band from West Auckland, New Zealand. Dead Image were a fitful live presence through much of 1984, a situation not helped by a rowdy destructive 1983 year-end party at the Lab Studios. They were already banned from the Windsor Castle, adding Mainstreet to the list in November for vandalising the band room and spraying graffiti in the soon-to-be demolished cabaret.

To sidestep the bans, and get playing again, they decided to change their name to Warners, and bowed out as Dead Image in early 1985, at a Performance Cafe on Symonds Street with Christchurch's No Idea. They were already Warners when Dead Image's first major interview appeared in June 1985 - The Men, the Myth and the Flab by Celia Patel in Book of Bifim.
