Ths 'Burbs were (I guess they still are) - one of Mpls's early post-punk
bands - I think they had the first Twin/Tone release (?) .. anyway
They were THE band around Mpls until recently when The Replacements
and Huskers passed 'em up on their way to the top ....

They realeased two albums on Twin/Tone (In Combo -1981, Credit in Heaven - 1982)
and an EP (Dream Hog) from which they had a couple of dance hits
(Waiting and Music for Boys) .. the EP got them signed to POLYDOR where
they proceeded to die an inconspicous death .. one nationally released
album (Love is the Law .. single of the same name).

Curently they are working in the studio with REO Speedwagon's producer
		(god is that disheartening ...) 

anyway - I don't have much hope of their ever regaining 
the form they had 2-3 years ago ...
	
ah well -- I'll just hafta put on Zen Arcade again ....
