Bryan:

The D4 I have has a New Zealand address - just grabbed the CD yesterday from
a used bin. Any band that covers Johnny Thunders and names their leadoff
track "Rock'N'Roll Motherfucker" gets my attention straightaway. :) On
Insecticide/Flying Nun. This is the band Stewart saw that's touring with the
(excellent, btw) Forty-Fives (words not numerals):

Coincidentally I did also find The Datsuns - also NZ - and their track #2 is
called "Motherfucker From Hell". So both bands pass the curse-like-a-sailor
test with flying colors.  They're on V2 label:

If you think that's confusing, both NZ bands played together at last years
SXSW - I imagine after a few beers running the merch table must have been
interesting. :)

b, who now must find the pop/Mod Datson Four for the trifecta..
