Wall of Voodoo - Ring of Fire

Not too much to say about these guys except that they always felt like a post-apocalyptic exotica act, to me. Not quite Kitsch-Wave, but close. People then and now seemed to love them, but they were never very popular outside their "Mexican Radio" one-hit. I don't claim to be an enormous fan, but I can smell their greatness, especially in this Johnny Cash cover, and the movie it was featured in, "Night Dreams."




Which leads me to the question, what is up with all the crazy crossover, new-wave porn, art/trash films of the 80's? Liquid Sky, Cafe Flesh, Dr. Caligari, Night Dreams, etc.? Something crazy in the water back then.
