    In an alternative universe, where the Replacements quit drinking and followed Christ, they might have sounded like this.....

              So what happens when you take Steve Jones of the Sex Pistols.... add Blondie's rhythm section, and throw in one of Soupy Sales's kids as a second guitarist?

              Well, first thing, you probably shouldn't choose the "Ted McGinley of rock n roll" as your frontman. Also.... when Steve's doing his best impression of Keith Richards 1975/Sid Vicious 1978/Johnny Thunders... well pretty much anytime and being 90% incoherent and barely able to remain standing, it doesn't say much for the potential. Fortunately, Steve got clean. But not in time to save this band.......

                  And one of my favorite obscure eighties tunes (amongst hundreds) ever...PLAY FUCKING LOUD!



                  This one still gets me in the heart, while also kicking me in the balls and throat. Guess ya had to be there. Then again, perhaps not...

                            Possibly the US Festival. Same year as Van Halen, but different day. I'm guessing they played on the punk/new wave day where The Clash headlined.

                            Pulled up a clip from that show and Chrissie was a bloody mess who looked like she just wrestled with a grizzly bear or something.

                              Damn, I don't think I've heard this song in 30 years. This band really should have been bigger. They were better than all the synth-pop crap. Sort of like a Byrds/Rush hybrid or something.....

                                This band soon changed their name and their entire sound, and went on to have some hits (but never got as big as they deserved to)

                                Anybody recognize them?
