<< Do any of you cats out their remember or know of a band from the early
eighties? called Trixies Big Red Motorbike? >>

yes indeedy!  They were a duo from the Isle of Wight, consisting of Mark
Litten and his sister Melanie.  They sounded quite a bit like the Marine
Girls...and, in fact, were quite good friends with them back in the day.
"Norman & Narcissus," "That's The End Of That," "One Nation Under A Brolley,"
"You Took Him Away From Me"...they had an insane number of unsung classics.

You can find most of their catalog on a compilation LP, _The Initmate Sound of
Trixie's Big Red Motorbike_, on Accident Records.  Find out more at their
website: http://www.miaow.oaktree.co.uk/accident/trixie/.

I used to be in a band that covered "That's The End Of That." :)
