The lyrics also make several references to my favorite Roeg film, "Walkabout "(Australia 1971). But the video includes no footage, of course, because "Walkabout" was mired in legal limbo, at the time, and was 'lost' to screen and video. Fortunately, it's available now on DVD. Well worth checking out.

Thanks for the great memory. I remember a show around 1985 south of market that was an absolutely mob scene. I think I'll check them out again. - Jeff

In 1985 I bought the import 12" of their first single, "The Bottom Line." A few weeks later some friends and I performed it in front of most of our Melbourne Florida high school, at the annual air band contest. The crowd was very into it, clapping and echoing some of the lyrics. Pretty cool for not having ever heard it before.

We won, but were disqualified because we stole the perfectly jigsaw-cut instruments the cheerleader-infused tribute to Berlin's parents had made for them.
