They were a great band.

Mayor of Simpleton is my favorite tune by them.

I had hopes for a while that the UK people were Making Plans for Nigel, but he faded. On the other hand, here in the US we have the Mayor of Simpleton.

One of my favorite bands- on Skylarking, Ballet for a Rainy Day/1000 Umbrellas is like riding an rollercoaster to the highest point, then diving to the bottom of the hill.

I believe the lead singer had stage fright and they had to discontinue touring.
