Back then me and my friends would have killed to see the B-52s or DEVO in a dance club. There were others that we liked as much or better for a concert, but no one that would have filled a small space with as much energy.

Been around for years, goes back to the early SF Bay Area music scene with people like Steve Miller and Jerry Garcia.

Here's a great live version of another fun tune you might like.

Thanks for the additional tune

Clapton, Beck and Jimmy Page. I loved them when I was a kid, they had kind of a minor key mournful sound, thanks to Graham Gouldman's song writing.

The lead singer died by electrocution from his amp. Weird.

Only two originals--McCarty and Dreja-- but the show was GREAT!

I think Beck was living in the area, but he didn't drop by.

&feature=player_detailpage#t=0

You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
So fuck you
All I want to do
Is have a good time
Now I'm blue
You wanna boogaloo
Run down to Tramps
Have a dance or two--ooh!
You're breaking my heart
You're tearin' it apart
But fuck you
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
Ooh!--ooh!--
[ From: http://www.elyrics.net ]
You stepped on my ass
You're breaking my glasses too
You wanna drive my car
Buy a lot of stuff
I've had enough
Of you--ooh!
I'm goin' insane
There's no one to blame
So fuck you
You've gotta have your way
There's nothin' left to say
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
So fuck you
You've gotta have your way
There's nothin' left to say
There's nothin' left to do--ooh!
You're breakin' my heart
You're tearin' it apart
But I love you
(Do-do-doots)
