I saw them open for the Pixies back in '92 or so. Damn, but they kicked ass. They had Eric Drew Feldman from Beefheart's Magic Band on keyboards, and Tony Maimone (RIP) on guitar, as well as David Thomas on vox (of course). I think they called the tour "Back to the Avant Garage" or something like that. They were touring the "Worlds In Collision" album, which was not their finest work, by any means.
They played 'Final Solution', "Heart of Darkness', and 'Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo' as well as many others which I did not recognize at the time. Check out "The Art of Walking" sometime. Good stuff.
