I’m not surprised, you have a noticeable love for the funky kind of rock. At that time I started going the punk route then bands such as Devo and The Cure got me more into synthy new wave.
No.
Liked The Bottom Line and others from BAD’s debut. Went and saw them at The Palace around the time of Rush and they were awful. Played virtually nothing from their 1st album and got comprehensively blown off the stage by the support act - Maybe Dolls featuring Annalisse and Chris Morrow, who were previously in a terrific early 80’s band called The Numbers. They were great - an enormous sound for a 3-piece (and who doesn’t love a female bassist!)
