Hull hang on and Wire Train still sound great

I took a break from CAMPING this morning to:
1. Watch HULL CITY (barely) survive the drop out of the PREMIER LEAGUE.
2. Enjoy listening to 1980s SAN FRANCISCO favorites WIRE TRAIN.
Visiting champions MANCHESTER UNITED defeated Hull, 1-0, but results elsewhere (namely losses by NEWCASTLE UNITED and MIDDLESBROUGH) meant the Tigers will spend a second season in the top flight next season.
Wire Train were formed by songwriters, Kevin Hunter and Kurt Herr in San Francisco.
The pair added Swedish bassist Anders Rundblad and Argentinean-born drummer Federico Gil-Sola and the band's original lineup was set.
I have been listening to the wonderful debut, "IN A CHAMBER," which includes the insanely catchy single "Chamber of Hellos."
Back in the old days on the Bay Area alternative station LIVE 105, it seemed like every other song was either by Wire Train, Dramarama or Translator. Thus, listening to Wire Train today is bringing back loads of old memories.

The (Hull City) Tigers and the Tygers of Pan Tang in the other post. Like that.

Also liked that Wire Train song, never heard of them before. Thanks for the tip I'll go and discover more.


(Oh and Hull are guaranteed for that bottom spot next season)
