Great piece, and nice segue to Emily CB and Kayleb Duckett, both of whom deserve the attention! Still getting over that Paul Yates intro. I mean, what has she got against New Zealand? She can't blame us for Michael Hutchence can she?
Yates met Hutchence on the set of the Tube, 1985, but probably later than the Microdisney recording. I thought maybe she got this prejudice from him, but that seems unlikely. And yes, I'm still reeling too! The Chills made it onto the Tube in 1987 according to Google's unreliable AI but I can't find the source, this mention doesn't really confirm it, and there's no proof on YouTube
Aiming to emulate Steely Dan... do they mean the Fagan/Becker Steely Dan or is there some pub rock band with the same name in Ireland... cos the Steely Dan I know... kinda immaculate sophisticated jazz rock, played by session Gods. Why set yourself up to fail? Maybe, we want to be 5% as good as the Dan... maybe you could, eventually.

Influence is a vibe shift
Next band practice tell them... we should be aiming for Steely Dan boys. Look on the brightside, as solo guitar troubadour you get all the door $.
