Easy Cure, but that was before they became The Cure. They dropped the "Easy" because they thought it sounded old fashioned.
And that pic is most certainly from 1982.

Me maybe not so much clever as obsessive fan.

I'm doing better though. Thank you for your concern.

As for the antipodeans: nope, they were New Wavers all the way, I'd say (though their really old stuff *did* have a dark edge to it). The Front = EBM. In fact, they're the founding fathers!

AHA! Ok, I *knew* I'd heard of Fatima Mansions - "Blues for Ceaucescu" (sp?)
got played on MTV's 120 Minutes back in the early 90s, if I recall correctly...

Thanks, Scotty!
