They have a very interesting story-someone should do a doc on them

I only ever heard that song "I Know What Boys Like" from a K-Tel comp album I had as a kid.

Then I think later on MTV I saw the video.

You know, one of the reasons why I Know What Boys Like is a stronger track (IMO) is because it's raw, not polish, and bite-size funky for a soft rock band. cool And to go from that to a play it safe (for children?!?) track like Make The Weather seems so out of character. hmmm

Thanks. I'll check those songs out later this week.

And BTW, Patty Donahue died of lung cancer, not of AIDS or any STDs.
