I suggested doing Eighties covers with a political slant, under the name Viva Los Contras!, and I'm trying to put together a set list. Here are some possibilities -The Police, Invisible SunThe Clash, Rock the CasbahNena, 99 LuftballonsU2, Sunday Bloody SundayMidnight Oil, Beds Are Burning, Blue Sky MineJesus Jones, Right Here Right NowDead Kennedys, Holiday in Cambodia, California über Alles, many others!X, The New WorldSting, RussiansPeter Gabriel, BikoRush, Red Barchetta, Between the WheelsHeaven 17, Fascist Groove ThingDon Henley, All She Wants to Do Is DanceThe Pogues, Lorca’s NovenaWarren Zevon, Lawyers, Guns, and MoneyElvis Costello, Goon Squad, What’s So Funny ‘bout Peace, Love, and Understanding? (definitely the encore!)Simple Minds, Belfast ChildFree Nelson Mandela (artist?)REM, It’s the End of the World as We Know It, many others!Bronski Beat, Why?Frankie Goes to Hollywood, Two TribesHuman League, The LebanonFaith No More, We Care a LotGenesis, Illegal AlienThis is just brainstorming, in no particular order yet. I'd be happy getting up there and playing Dead Kennedys songs all night, but we've gotta have some danceable numbers to get gigs. Can you name some other songs I should be considering?</blockquote>
