    Will only mean anything to 3-4 people on this board. But any fans of proto indie guitar bands, should seriously listen to this.. :(

    Saw them when they reformed at Glastonbury '92. Lou Reed was on too. Not as cool as CBGBs but...

    Cheers Tom, your songs made many of my compilation tapes.
