Ahh! The bands I knew before I saw the movie, off the top of my head: Wall
of Voodoo, Pretenders, The Waitresses, The Police, The Cramps (which
disturbed me, the first time I saw the movie), XTC, GoGos, and I don't know
who all else. There were a number of bands in it I'd never heard of. But I
was kewl, back in the day. [grin]

I'm 37, and I saw it in the theater way back when in Indianapolis.

In fact, I won free tickets. I don't think they could give away enough
tickets for it, as the theater was pretty sparsely populated.

Full disclosure: I didn't know what the movie was about, but was always
trying to win free stuff from the radio station. It's what we did in
Indiana
in the early 80's I guess.

The only band I knew in the movie was "The Police." I may have heard of
some
of the names of the bands in the movie, but certainly didn't know what
they
sounded like. I couldn't stand a lot of the groups in the movie, but got a
kick out of Klaus Nomi!

A recent episode of "The Venture Brothers" brought it all back with Klaus
and Iggy Pop disrupting a wedding. Guess you had to see the show to know
what I'm talking about!

Come to think of it, I wouldn't mind checking "Urgh!" out again to see how
my tastes have changed over the years.
