SYI were great, definately one of my favourites from the Crystal Ballroom days. Quirky and jerky, fascinating rhythms. Mick's deep dark vocals, Peter's nasal twang, Mark's marvellous melodies. They reminded me a lot of XTC, and of course The Jam. I still have a mono tape of a live gig I recorded from the radio (3CR?), made just before they brought out Housebreaking. Lyrics of suburban adolescent angst. Parents Go Mental. Why Cant I Control My Body? I Want Cake, indeed.
One of my fav's from Housebreaking.
