From proto punk together with members who would go on to form Dead Boys to post punk before punk had even really taken off with Pere Ubu - that is quite impressive. I think Dub Housing is probably the one I've listened to the most with them. I saw them live many years ago at an almost empty venue. They put on a good show regardless.
RIP... however reminds me of the only time I ever encountered DT in the flesh. Was a festival where he was on the bill with his Mirror Man "opera". A Polish friend - who was also performing - saw some of their rehearsal and I asked what she thought. She made a throwing up face and said "workless artists". I knew exactly what she meant.
