Australians from the early to mid-'80s.  They had sort of a mid-'70s 
UK pub-rock feel to their music: if you remember Any Trouble, or Nick 
Lowe's work with Brinsley Schwartz, those are pretty good touchstones. 
My favorite of their songs were "The Nips Are Getting Bigger," but I 
think they were probably best known for "If You Leave Me, Can I Come 
Too?"  Their later albums suffered very badly from the dreaded Bad 
Eighties Production Syndrome.
