Unforunately, my Stateside-self didn't see them at Spitz or anywhere else 
ever.
I'm just psyched because Clinic is coming to Boston next month!

Their first album, _Workshy_, got a domestic release and should be in used
bins at good stores. The other two are import-only but still available via
mail order like Siren Disc.

I suppose so. And I guess we should throw in related bands like, say, all 
of
Tim Keegan's work, and perhaps Strangelove. Thinking about it, the last
Departure Lounge (Tim Keegan) album, _Out Of Here_, is definitely BA-like.

The wonders of the internet. Just downloaded some MP3's, let's take a 
listen...
I don't know that I'd compare them to the Aero's, but it's fun stuff.

Oh, and I remembered another band I'd compare: Able Tasmans, an amazing New
Zealand band who could also distribute a "Are you or have you ever been a 
member" t-shirt.
