Housemartins appreciation

[gvox]

They occured to me as a funny retort to another thread, but in reality in the 80s I really loved this band.

So a few gems to celebrate, and maybe some of you kids will like 'em:

YouTube - The Housemartins - Build

YouTube - The Housemartins - Happy Hour

YouTube - The Housemartins - Think For A Minute

YouTube - The Housemartins - Get Up Off Our Knees


I could go on and on...did these guys even have a bad song? Pretty solid stuff...too bad they didn't last.

oh and they did covers pretty damn well too:

One of them was a teacher at my brothers school in the mid 90s

It's amazing to think that one of them went on to become FatBoy Slim...
