Wow - such fun finding this again. I saw these guy at Glastonbury Festival in 86. They were such fun even tho it was pouring with rain and everyone was covered in mud.
But they were part of that 2-tone ska movement of the early 80's that spawned No Doubt, Sublime and 311 in the 90's a very influential band that doesn't get any love
I am with you, bro. This was the sound in Califonia clubs of the '80's and into the '90's whether you were up San Francisco or San Diego, whether it was a band or the DJ. This represents a combination of so many types of music that was and still is so California, USA. JMHO, hugely influential.
@USA1749NY2SFnSD2Fork I was ther too. I am class of 84 and grew up (born and raised in SF). Saw them at Stanford University and Keystone in palo Alto with Fishbone etc. Ska was huge then alomng with RHCP and tons of other bands atthat time.
First heard their performance on Saturday Night Live. I was there.

"Freak In The Streets" Extended Mix-12" inch (MCA Records) is still a masterpiece.

I'm sad to say I just discovered these guys when I saw them open for Fishbone a couple nights ago, but at least I'm glad I finally did! Great band!

Great Mod band, kept the Mod torch burning through the mid 80s. Loved watching them in Repo Man.
