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.

Now Suse, that is weird - cos i was trying to remember who i saw them support - but, i remember going to see Huey Lewis, and Bruce Hornsby was the support act!!!!!
I may have It Bites headline.
Calling All the Heroes
All in Red
great songs-and new album is excellent too.
There is life after Mr. Dunnery - altho he is an incredible talent.
