    Just ask John Lennon.

    The first two albums are New Wave classics. Punky with a good beat.

    Ran into this song again at a bbq today. I still dont think novelty is enough for full redemption, nor does it a good band make; but I'll be damned if it wasnt a fun song.

    Saw a hometown gig +-1994 2nd row, hell of a show. Deadbeat club, Roam, Planet Claire, etc. The girls were still young and hot and thin and could dance ther ass off. Great memories of that show.

    I like their music, because it reminds me of college. But I saw them two years ago at a great venue. Bellyup Aspen and they just didn't get the crowd going like I thought they would.
    Did a 45 minute set and they were done. Just going through the motion, without emotion.

    Saw them 2 years ago at the National Zoo of all places. It was a fun night, and when the final 2 songs of the encore were Planet Claire into Rock Lobster the dancing shoes were absolutely on fire.
