    Me me me! I remember Icehouse! My fav by them is "Electric Blue" plus the lead singer was a total babe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_xYQBTwP3t0

    But they were more 80's pop than new wave or modern or alternative but that's ok

    Mrs Jones,

    I'm very impressed. I take it you're not a native Hoosier.
