Don't know about them now, but the 'Tones were one of the best and most
fun live bands around back in the mid-Eighties. I mean "fun" in a stay up
all night / wake up in a strange place / scalding polysubstance hangover /
miss work kinda way. Their "Roman Gods" LP (on IRS) desperately needs to be
reissued. I envy you. I'll check out the other two bands you mention as
well. (Oh yeah, one of my favorite FT songs, "The World Has Changed", is on
the Children o' Nuggets box.)
