Title: A Cry For Help re: the band Brainiac 5
Post by: Jackie Blue on 19 Sep 2008, 03:35

No, not Brainiac.

There was a new wave band in the early-mid 80s called Brainiac 5.  One of my mother's friends was in this band, and so my mother (who didn't "get it") gave me the single on vinyl around '89.  As I recall, the single was "Electro-Shock Therapy" (whoah Brainiac have an EP called Electro-Shock for President that's weird) and the b-side song was great too.

Anyway, do any of you happen to have those songs?  I know it's a shot in the dark but they were apparently a reasonably big deal and I figured one of you might randomly have it.

Thanks in advance,
Jackie

Might these refer to the band you're thinking of?
