I was infected by cherdt!

It was a lot harder than I thought to dredge up 25 bands. I need to get out more.

Damn! I really don't get out much. My sad, short little list goes like this:

1. Platinum Blonde (at Expo 86!!)
1b. Boys Don't Cry (one hit wonders -- I Wanna Be A Cowboy -- who opened for Platinum Blonde above)
2. Gowan (Royal Theatre)
3. Billy Joel (Vancouver Colliseum)
4. Depeche Mode (Vancouver Colliseum)
5. Bob Dylan (can't remember who opened for Dylan -- a woman I think? The concert was at the old Memorial Arena and I think the opening act performed as long a set as Dylan)
6. Moxy Fruvous (Harpo's)
7. Doug and the Slugs (maybe the Forge?)

There must be others (I know there are a host of smaller local bands whose names escape me right now) but these are the only ones I remember...

I remember that one-hit wonder song. I also remember being ultra-angry at missing not only Einsturzende Neubauten, but also Test Department (another good industrial-noise band) at Expo 86, since I found out about it weeks after the fact!
