If anything cuz I’m a big Power Pop geek from way back, I saw and loved 20/20 a number o times in LA along with The Plimsouls, The Romantics, The Beat and Oingo Boingo + way more — All pre fame 80s and all of us sweaty in el smallo el clubbos cuz I was a Late 70s/early 80s Postmodern New Wave LA artsy kid aaaand I Got The Knack! aaand I just drew a few Exene Cervanka drawings last nite so I just kinda dig our Kismet. Question is.. Whatever happened to From Bubblegum To Sky?

You saw so many great bands in their heyday...but I'm mostly jealous about 20/20 and The Beat!

Thanks, man! Poprock Record is a go-to resource for me.

I got confused by your mention of a band called The Real Numbers. There is another band of that name (who just go by Real Numbers, I think) from Minneapolis who are on Slumberland Records. Their last release was in 2021 (an EP called Brighter Then). I highly recommend their 2016 album called Wordless Wonder.
