Mi-Sex: Computer Games
Someone came up to the booth and asked for this band one night but I hadn't heard of them. I keep a running list of these requests and yes, I really do try to find all of them. I can't know everything; the people on the dance floor are one of my greatest resources.
Naming themselves after the Ultravox song "My Sex", Mi-Sex is what happens when start a new wave band. . They didn't have much of a career outside of New Zealand and Australia, and even that only lasted until 1984.
This song is so so early '80s that it hurts; you can kind of hear a bit of their prog rock roots in the guitars, but it's all about the fear of computers taking control, with that trapped-inside-an-Atari vocal style fighting to be heard over all the synths. Coincidentally, due to their name, this landed in my "atomic blog" folder right before Ministry's "Same Old Madness" and they go great together.
