Oh, man. That's just WAY too much fun. Look at her clothes! So preppy!

That Jun Togawa is hilarious. Look at that skirt! What the hell, she's wearing a backpack!

I've never even heard of the X-Teens, I'm really impressed. I've heard of Sandii & The Sunsetz, though. I'm amazed how much that lady looks like Kate Bush. I like the music too. I'll try to track down more of these bands. Thanks ILXors! I <3 you.

AAAAAAAH! David Sylvian recorded with Sandii & The Sunsetz????? OMG I am going to have an orgasm. Oh god. Oh god. What in the living hell.

Bimble, thought you might get a kick out of the X-Teens. They were early-80s cult heroes in North Carolina. They put out a couple of singles & some albums produced by Don Dixon & Mitch Easter who of course went on to much greater fame producing REM's early work.

BTW, Don Dixon did some great new wave / power pop as a performer in the early 80s. Search Praying Mantis & Skin Deep. Lots of similarities to Nick Lowe's early 80s work.
