No, you're getting this all confused.  That band was *Elastica* and 
they were really great!!.

CK, I never saw Shonen Knife, so you may have a point about there 
live show.  As I say, I've been limited to Cibo Matto and Piz.5 in my 
knowledge of these pop outfits.  But I did like Guitar Wolf and, 
although I haven't heard them, have always heard there's a good 
rockabilly subculture going, etc...

That's all from me on this subject <g>,
