283: Sunday Brunch

On this episode of our signature show, we feature Simple Minds (pictured), who many Americans only know as ’80s one-hit wonders thanks to “The Breakfast Club” soundtrack. Before they asked us not to forget about them, however, Simple Minds were a rather brooding Scottish post-punk band with an arty edge. We’ll also listen to Love Tractor, Bauhaus, Starflyer 59, The Bongos, Small Factory, The Soft Boys, Hoodoo Gurus, Lords of the New Church, Luna, Live Skull, The Real Kids, The Posies, Slowdive, Inspiral Carpets, Primal Scream, Spirea X, and much more.
