This band was two members drums and guitar or bass and drums. May have been brothers, but not the proclaimers. mid to late 80's. They played a concert on the end of the Santa Monica pier, kind of folk rock but catchy new wave. Cant' remember their name for the life of me. The album had a semi hit single and another simple song that went "there's another man like me who... no more. Stuck in the tip of my mind for the last three months

House of Freaks were a great band.

RIP Bryan Harvey.
Sadly, on New Year's Day, this year, Bryan, his wife and two young daughters were found murdered in their home in Virginia.

I was very sad to learn of Bryan and his family. I loved seeing them in concert, usually with where are they now you don't get such sad stories. Two songs that i loved off of monkey on a chain gang are
40 years and lonesome graveyard. They seem even more haunting now. I sort of feel strange asking but does anyone happen to have them?

Thanks and I guess count our blessings.
