Biography:
The Figgs are a rock band out of Saratoga Springs, New York. First formed in 1987 (under the name "Sonic Undertones"), their output has included at least nine traditional full length albums (two on major labels in the mid 90s), multiple EPs and singles, a live album, and gigs backing Graham Parker since 1996 and on Graham's 2005 release Songs of No Consequence, as well as Tommy Stinson of The Replacements fame.

This song is what started my interest in The Figgs. This song was the background
music for a Lexus Date Night commercial that aired during the May 2013 NHL Play-
Offs. I wondered if the band was either a New Wave band from the late 1970s that
slipped by me, or some obscure work by Mark Knoffler (vocal resemblance.) Found
out it was neither.
Located a band named The Figgs online. I bought ((PALAIS)). Holy Cow!
