One of my favorite songs of the mid-80s has a video I'd never seen before.
"Bittersweet," by The Hoodoo Gurus. To paraphrase Phil Spector, I love it when somebody gets a hit record by recycling the chords to "Sweet Jane."

That's a new one on me. Yeah I'd say you nailed the VU influence.
I have always been partial to the Hoodoo Guru's tune I Want You Back. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lCuSsGm8No
Some great guitar work on that one.
I don't know that one...think I'll go watch it...
What a cool song and band! I love it where the singer starts singing in that higher octave. I saw them in Chapel Hill in the early 80s. The singer was really hoarse, so the guitarist (Brad?) sang a couple of songs, including Galveston!
I so love this type of power pop, it absolutely slays me.
