Hey Mike, they were a better than average punk-ish band w/ a strong melodic
slant, though......(not as good as The Diodes).  Jamie can tell you more,
I'm sure! ;-)

On yr next order, Mike....email direct w/ it.....i can find a CD-R comp that
I have a copy of(a friend of this list made it up a few years back, very
nicely done!) and throw in there for you.....all their stuff is long out of
print on CD

Last I heard from Love Candy they were working on a new record.....that was
to be finished later that year. That was,  um, two years ago.  :-(

That Teen Machine is still a huge pleasure of mine......

Actually, it's a bit early to talk about.....Peter(Kuehl) and I were trying
to keep it a bit under the wraps until we/he nailed down a few important,
profile-ish acts, but it's already turning out to be really, really
cool........release date?  Late summer/early fall.......i'd say details will
be forthcoming, certainly, by Spring!  :-D

Peace,
Bruce
