Any 16 Horsepower Fans?

[Rob Not Bob]

Are there any fans of 16 Horsepower out there? I saw them by accident back in 1997 ... my then gf Jane and I were going to see King Cobb Steelie at the amphiteatre of the National Art Gallery (AKA The See-ment Pond) but arrived early and ended up catching the set closer plus encore of the band that played before them, 16 Horsepower. We immediately kicked ourselves that we didn't catch their whole set ... haunting, snarling swamp gospel blues what-have-you, delivered with fire and intensity. I was saddened to hear they split up last year. Anywho, here is a very cool show from the end of their career ... their cover of Joy Division's Heart And Soul is demonic.
