think EARLY careers and the fact that it was American, not British. I trust that you'll get it.

The band answer in the first question also put out the first "HC" video and was briefly played on MTV.

Got the AB question now.

and they're not even German!

Fuck, if that isn't dead give away I don't know what is. But then again. Members of the Cult and the Smiths were in what band? Don't cheat. It's not Slaughter and the Dogs.....

Dexy Midnight Runner = Killjoys>>>Girlschool.....Motorhead...Hawkwind....

Members of The Crowd and Youth Brigade were in what band?

I swear, we were JUST talking about this at No Spectators practice.

is this the Extremes? I know Boz lived in the Skinhead Manor for a while. The Extremes songs are painfully similar to the Crowd's New Wave record on Flipside records (or really vice versa)

Boz= Youth Brigade and The Crowd. He played in a band called No Crisis with a couple of guys that wound up in MIA and Big Drill Car. No Crisis were actually pretty damn good.

woah throwing in the trick question! riddle me this! i actually remember Siz telling me about Boz's short tenure with Youth Brigade. I heard once that Shawn Stern tried to start a band that didn't have any of the other Stern brothers and his parents threatened to ground him!

you've got me stumped on the other questions

Morrissey and Billy Duffy were in a band called The Nosebleeds.

The singer of The Killjoys(a great late 70's punk band) later was the singer of Dexys Midnight Runners. The dude had a great snarling voice. Now I believe he's a drag queen. The bass player of The Killjoys wound up in Girlschool. Here's where I'm cheating...Girlschool and Motorhead did a cover of "Please Don't Touch". I shouldn't post when I drink. Lemmy played in Hawkwind, The Damned blah blah blah..

I got mad(I'm exaggerating) at my wife for not knowing Marky Ramone played with Richard Hell and Voidoids. I think these things are common knowledge. I need to get a life.

Morrisey also did a short-lived stint with Slaughter & the Dogs along with Billy Duffy after the Nosebleeds went tits up.

I think Morrissey and Billy being in Slaughter and the Dogs is more "common" knowledge, so that's why I eliminated that band in my intial question. Hell, maybe no one on this board actually knows this. Well, you obviously do.

I know people familiar with all parties and never knew they came together in Slaughter and the Dogs.

I know a few people that know an insane amount of trivial nonsense about punk rock. Well, about music in general. I'm sure that's how the info came my way.

I'll take a stab, two months after the fact...
