Liverpool bands

I'm doing another topical compilation, my previous one being new wave cover songs. Now, I am doing one on bands from the English city of LIVERPOOL, as I am an avid Beatles fan. If readers can help me out with bands they know came from Liverpool I'd sure be beholden. Here's what I have so far:
Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
A Flock of Seagulls
Echo & The Bunnymen
Elvis Costello
Yes, I know Dead or Alive are from Liverpool but they don't count-I can't stand 'em!

I can't believe no one has mentioned the dreaded PETE BURNS from Dead Or Alive. DOn't know if the entire band was from there.

Has anyone else noticed that Andy McCluskey (OMD bass player) and Frank Maudsley (Flock of Seagulls bass player) had the same funky dance move/mannerism on stage? Kind of a bobble head, slithering move. Maybe due to the Liverpool connection? Or is it j
