Whale featuring Bus 75
A Swedish band who reached the dizzy heights of number 68 in the UK charts back in July 1998 with their ditty "Four Big Speakers". Then vanished without trace the next week...

The delightfully named "Death Camp 76" from Southington, Conecticut who play something called Militant Industrial Pimp Metal - I can hardly wait

...This thread is going far too fast to mention a NY punk band called Blanks 77 (definitely sound more wholesome than Catch 77; don't even look for them - you have been warned). We'll be somewhere in the 90s by the time this gets posted.
I really just wanted to say that I was a bit concerned that GreyDesk's stampede had got ahead of itself back at 64. I thought that his home-grown Pig 64 were really called Pigsix 4, but Matt Howden's homepage reveals that both names were used, as indeed latterly was the name of Stiki.
So that's alright. Carry on chaps.
I was also a little upset to find via another thread that Grimmos have been misappropriating Blades' songs, but that's another story....

Sorry about that, I got a bit carried away.
*hangs head in shame*
And yes, I don't like the idea of Grimsby nicking our songs either 
. So perhaps with just a few adjustments to one other of our numbers we can get some satisfaction

If I had the wings of a sparrow

...This is getting tougher...
Best I've found is 78Saab who are Australian. NSW even. Sydney even.
I once saw a band called "Brideshead Regurgitated" who came from NSW somewhere. Says it all really, dunnit?

Oh I don't know, its not that tough.
But then again I've stumbled upon a band name database that I'm using as my primary resource. (And there was you thinking that it was record collection that I was relying upon 
)

Don't think anyone's exactly reeling them off the top of their heads, me ol' Monochrome Escritoire.
There sure are a lot of embarrassing 80s tribute bands out there, many with "80" in their name.
Did find one of a different genre, 80 Grit, though they look truly dire. I came up as visitor number 132 to their website, which doesn't exactly smack of celebrity, does it? Probably the first visitor not directly inbred...
