Aaargh!  The name of the group is on the tip of my tongue.  They're from
Australia and there (were, are) about 8 people in it.  That song came out
about 3-4 years ago, and they have toured the US at least twice.  They 
have also at least two albums out.  

Aha!  Cogitation wins out!  The name of the band is "Hunters and Collectors".

Descendents/Dag Nasty 930 club, 

Big News: Dag Nasty will be putting out a 7" 4-song Ep on Dischord
in a month or so !! Dischord # 19 for those keeping count. 

Other Big News:  I had my first drink in a month ! Whoa boy, calm down.
Had too, after I found out that Husker Du and Soul Asylum will
be playing the 9:30 on Feb. 9th.  Had another one when I both 
my tickets (2 for 19.00, big bucks for big stars).  Total = 2 Beers, 
2 Tickets, 2 bands. one night.

Dag Nasty came up. The singer is now on lesson 6 of "Ian Mckaye's
16 steps to be a big time rock singer".  The band as a whole has 
improved since the last time I saw them, and there still improving.
I was more impressed this time.

In between sets you could hang out watching videos (like Til Tuesday's
video of "Voices Carry" while listening to the Gang Green version of
the same song) or go to the back bar for some good drinks or go outside
and listen to Peter Murray of Marginal Man and John Stabb of GI's talk
about their motorcycles (how macho are you??) or go around the corner
and hit the peep shows.  I myself like top stand outside a peep show 
house (no particular one) and when someone would exit, make it look like
I'm writing down information about them.  These clods then get all
nervous and uptight and want to know what your doing.  Then you tell
then you work for Jerry Falwell or something along those lines. They
hit the road fast.  Still waiting for one to pull a knife on me.

okay, okay, here come the descendents.  With Bill Stevenson back 
from Flag and Milo back from college, they ripped through their set.
And ripped through was right. Not one break between songs, just 
barrelling through most of their new songs.  Problem with the guitar
player, never turned to face the audience at all. guess he didn't like 
the way we looked. 

Still More big news: John Labovitz is in England now. who knows what
kind of deviant behavior he's unleashing on the countryside. 

look for the descendents in your town soon.

I'd like to find out more about the following groups.  I have either heard
interesting things ABOUT them or FROM them, and I want to know more.

Residents
Replacements
Siouxie and the Banshees
Cocteau Twins 		(somebody on the net mentioned "Treasure" LP ...)
X
Fine Young Cannibals 	(does a good cover of "Johnny Come Home")
Tom Waits 		(ok, so he's not a group, and he's been around awhile)
The The 		(a few people raved about them, but what KIND of 
			 music do they play?)

(that's all I can remember now)

Most importantly, what do their music SOUND like?  I know this is hard to
describe (how would you describe KB?), but any effort is appreciated.
Also, what are their best efforts, and which LP's are good introductions 
to their music (i.e. 1st one to buy)? Are they worth it?

For instance, I would consider HOL a very good introduction to KB (it got
me hooked!).

Thank you for any infomation!

Gee, I'd never thought about some of the benefits of nuclear war
before....  Maybe Reagan isn't so bad after all.

Siouxie and the Banshees is one of my favorite groups.  Siouxie Sioux, the
lead singer, has a stage presence not dissimilar to Kate's, although not quite
in the same league.  The band is usually associated with Britain's early
punk movement (Siouxie was the original 'Nazi' punk), but don't really have
a hardcore punk style.  I believe one of the band members used to belong to
Magazine, but I'm not sure.  I'm surprised you've not heard of them -
some of their more 'popular' songs are "Christine", "Arabian Nights",
"Israel" (their best!), cover of "Dear Prudence".  I really like their "Juju"
album.  Hope this helps!

John McGeoch of Magazine (and Visage) appears on several Siouxsie and the
Banshees albums, as does Robert Smith of The Cure.

I just have Hyaena by SatB (it's the only one I've seen on CD), I like it a
lot.

Sounds like "Talking To A Stranger" (surprised?) by Hunters and Collectors,
an Australian band.  It's on _Hunters and Collectors_ (A&M/Oz).  Yeah, good
stuff, a girl I knew in Firenze liked it.
