Thanks to Burning Down for posting the Pylon song. Hotdamn! I loved that band. I saw them in the 80s and they were a ferocious beast of a live band. Human Body was my favorite song by them & I've embedded it below.



The Bush Tetras were another band I absolutely adored and saw several times in the early 80s.



My favorite band of that era was Mission of Burma who I've seen live at least 150 times because I lived in Boston when they were gigging in local clubs around 5-10 times a month during 1980 & 1983. I saw every local show they ever did including their first & last ones. This video of Trem Two is from their last Boston show at ballroom of the Bradford Hotel in 1983.
