Lost Bands of the 80s Part XXX

Got into these cats because I am a rabid Nick Cave fan and he dug them heavily. Former head of the LA Blondie Fan Club, overindulger and unwitting creator of hair metaller Vince Neil's early look Jeffery Lee Pierce had talent to spare. 4 great LPs, lineup changes, etc etc then total burnout. The Grim Reaper ended the chance of any comeback in 1996 when Jeffery died. A sad fate for a great band. Robert Johnson brought into the Hacienda can't fail to inspire.
