If my memory serves me correctly, I saw these as a support act in the 80's for either Bruce Hornsby or Huey Lewis. Can't remember which.
I do remember that they were great, though!

Didn't know they were still working. 8)

Just looked at them on Wiki - they supported Go West in '87 - THAT'S WHERE I SAW THEM!

My memory, honestly.

:roll:

I had them down as a 'pop' band so I didn't really take much notice of them after that gig. I do remember enjoying them though because the name stuck in my head.
