    Aren't Hunters & Collectors a Boston (or at least, NE) band? I seem to
    remember them playing the local circuit, although I've never seen/heard
    them myself.

    I thought they were an Australian group?

    Hunters & Collectors is an Australian band that dates back at least 
    10 years.  They have released many LPs/EPs over that time and have
    been a somewhat popular "alternative" band while getting some (but not
    much) mainstream airplay during the mid-80's.  
    
    I don't know if they're still together, but some of their music is
    worth seeking out if you're into "power-pop" or whatever they'd be 
    classified as.

    They opened for Midnight Oil at Great Woods 2 yrs. ago.  I can't
    remember anything about them, though.  (Midnight Oil was good.)

    H&C's are Australia's answer to REM.
    
    They are a raw and powerful rock & roll band that manage to embody the
    Australian culture, spirit and countryside, and are in the vein of
    Midnight Oil.
    
    If you get the chance to see 'em live, don't miss it.
