This started it all. SO strange!! WARNING: f-bomb in here.
Devo meets the Alan Parsons Project
Brilliantly weird band that so many hated. Dark Continent was my intro, hearing Back In Flesh on a college radio station in '82 and everything changed.
If you don't have Stan Ridgeway's album Mosquitos, get it.
Stan was the brains of that outfit. Creative, quirky, amazing lyrics, coming out of left field. Some of WOV are still my go to songs in my music library...no more cassette tapes...LOL!

Stan Ridgeways album Mosquitoes is a keeper
The Ozrics...One trippy show at Liberty Lunch...you bet
Band name came from a ficticious breakfast cereal....hence a live album...Live Ethereal Cereal
