Teenage Kicks Shows Some Leg

This week on Teenage Kicks, we've got Love and Rockets in the spotlight. Formed in 1985 by the remaining members of Bauhaus (after Prince of Darkness Peter Murphy split to go solo), Love and Rockets took their name from the series of comic books by Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez (hear also: Lucero's "The Devil and Maggie Chascarrillo.")

Love and Rockets made eight albums in the fourteeen years they were together. Their biggest hit, "So Alive," made it to #3 on the American singles charts. Check out the video for "So Alive" ...

Then tell me if you see an homage here ...

Let's hope you're not too destroyed from The Current's 5th Birthday party to tune in to Teenage Kicks tomorrow from 8-10am. You'll hear more Love & Rockets, plus tracks from Dramarama, Josie Cotton, The Smiths, and more!

I seem to really love the Big Express Album the best. How can one not love the song Kundalini Express? Not to mention the Ball of Confusion remake. I saw them at First Ave. on one of their fairly recent tours here and they covered Rock On! And that they did...
