Most fans probably only remember their only hit here in the states "Working Girl" but I knew who they were way before that song came out.Their first 2 albums were very good examples of what late 70's and early 80's Punk was supposed to sound like.With some Ska and Reggae mixed in.I loved the two music videos that I have by them.They seemed to be like Madness making funny videos.Working Girl was a great video,and very rare to see these days.Remember the pool scene where Nicky Tesco and the boys get thrown in the pool by some very sexy women?
I would like to know whatever happened to these guys as well.You never hear anything about them anymore,when people talk about the old 70's and 80's New Wave groups.Does anyone else remember The Members,and if so can you please add in your two cents as well? Thanks.
By the way "At The Chelsea Nightclub" and 1980-The Choice Is Yours" are both classic New Wave and Punk albums for those that care and remember.

Loved the Members! One of the first (New Wave) bands to incorporate reggae into their songs, along with the Clash. "At The Chelsea Night Club" was one of those minor classics; in fact, all of their albums will divulge a few gems here and there. Always
