Hi there,I've just recently joined this list, and thought I'd better
introduce myself. My name is Pete, and I'm from Australia. I've been a big WoV
fan since 1986, when "Far Side of Crazy" made the top 40 here. I was lucky
enough to see them live twice - first time was in '86 on the "Sammystown" tour,
and then again in '88 on the "Happy Planet" tour. The 2nd show was the night
recorded for the "Ugly Americans" live album.
After seeing them the 1st time, I went and bought their entire back catalogue,
and Stan's first lp. Stan 1st toured here around the same time as the
"Sammystown" tour, but I couldn't attend that one, as my band was playing the
same night. I liked the "Big Heat" lp a lot, but always enjoyed WOV more because
of Marc's guitar playing style, and Prieboy's sense of drama.
Anyway - that's enough of an intro...
I hope there's a bit of activity on the list soon.

ps - I haven't heard anything by "Dept of Crooks" - or anything else by Marc
since WOV folded. Can anyone tell me a bit about their music/style?
