Hope you enjoyed the above video and the discussion of these three bands.   Below, I have some information and sound bites for you to check out connected to the discussion above.

One Note:  I mentioned that Briefs were from California. How freakin’ presumptuous of me thinking an awesome punk-cum-powerpoppin’ band would be from Cali – They were from Seattle.

(Personal Note Again:  I strongly disagree with the assessments of these reviews, as do many other power pop fans who have heard these album – take it from all of us – drop $10 at Amazon and get this 2-fer!  Look at the comments on the Amazon listing…..)

CRAZY HORSES – Video (live)

Come On – You want MORE, man!   Here’s the Osmonds Boys showing generations on how to lip-synch properly!  Check out Donnie rocking the keys w/ a quasi thermin thang!  I’d love to have dinner with the family and laugh along with them with the moves they did here.  Can you imagine drinking tequila with these guys?  I can – they rock.
