I just pulled out All Fools' Day, which I haven't listened to in years. It's the only post-Kuepper Saints album I know, and yeah, it's a whole different thing than the original band, but fuckin'-A, "Celtic Ballad" is an amazing song. Chris Bailey's definitely conjuring up some drunken Shane McGowan spirit on that album, bless his soul. We played the hell out of that album back in the 80s. In fact, I think Maati and I subconsciously plagiarized a bit of that when we wrote "Song Of The Six Pack", which your mom did such a great job singing on.
Mitzi recently wrote to say she's starting a new band. That's such excellent news.
Mind you, Eternally Yours is still my all-time favorite Saints album. "Cheap advertisin'/you're lyin'/you're never gonna get me what waaaaaaAAANT!"

Pretty much my alltime favourite punk single
Shame Chris Bailey is also the man who released albums under The Saints, that were the Saints and sucked
All Fools' Day has its moments, though. Give "Hymn To St. Jude" a chance.
Every Australian I've known swears by The Laughing Clowns. I've never actually had a chance to hear them. Have you?
