Saw that tour in Green Bay in 81 while visiting my ex-wife's brother who treated us to the show. Didn't see them again for about a decade when we were living in Lacrosse WI and the last time was 2005 when I took the new wife to see them in MD. They actually are playing in DC on the 22 but I've run out of wives.
I know I saw them in the early 80s for the first time. Not sure if it was in Seattle or Vancouver BC. I seem to remember them with the Gang of Four but that was probably 2 concerts a week apart. The Gang of Four Show had the best sound I had ever heard.
I hear the similarity too. On the same lines as the Flying Lizards. The singers have an uncanny resemblance .
