They look like a less masculine Village People.

You could be onto something their as their Anthem/Signature Tune
is called 'Denim & Leather'
Where were you in '79 when the dam began to burst
Did you check us out down at the local show
Were you wearing denim, wearing leather
Did you run down to the front
Did you queue for your ticket through the ice and snow Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free Did you read the music paper from the back and
to the front
Did you find out where to see your favorite band
Did you listen to the radio every Friday night
Did hang around your local record store Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free Do you dream of playing guitar or smashing up
the drums
Maybe you can learn to play the bass
You can always be a singer like me and front the band
When on the stage we wait at your command Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free It was you - that set the spirit free
It was you - that put us here today
It was you - that filled the concert halls
It was you - that set the spirit free Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free
Denim and Leather
Brought us all together
It was you that set the spirit free (Repeat to end)
Slightly less 'Butch' than Judas priest but at least JP had TALENT to burn

I see their new album title's well up to their usual standard: Achtung Bono.

Only discovered the wonders of HMHB this year, busy catching up on what I missed...
