Reminds me of Echo and the Bunnymen, and not without a sense of humor.

[nzoz1983]

have you heard any other Triffids track besides this early effort? Explore a little further (1984 to 1987).

The Triffids and Friends Play the Songs of David McComb - a gig coming to the Arts Centre, Hamer Hall, Melbourne, 29 January 09. Its a tribute to the fine talents of David McComb from Rob and the rest of the band (Jill Birt, Martyn P Casey, Graham Lee, Alsy MacDonald). It'll include some of the original band slides and bits of Dave's poetry. Wish I had friends like Steve Kilbey, Rob Snarski, Mick Harvey, Toby Martin, Ricki Maymi, Mark C Halstead and Melanie Oxley! Ticketmaster for tix.
