Any of you ever heard of a band out of Buffalo back in the late 80s/early 90s called David Watts and the Great Train Robbery?? They broke up many years ago, but they were fun as hell and I thought they were excellent. I don't think they ever really broke out of the Northeast (if even that far) though.

Good stuff.
I LMAO the first time I ordered it for the store I used to work at. The original release of "God Bless Satan" was catalog #666 on Pass The Virgin Records. 
I can actually remember buying 'God Bless Satan'. I went to my local indie store and they didn't have it. They could 'order' it and have it in a couple days though. I just said screw it and took a train into NYC and went to the Moon storefront insteadBikeGeek said:"heeeeeeeeeey, what's this button do? DOOMSDAY!"

Moon went out of business in Dec. 2000. http://ska.about.com/library/2000/aa121600.htm
I remember going past the storefront a cpl weeks after it shut to 'pay my respects'. There was a small pile of wilted flowers 1/2 buried in the slushy snow and scrawled across the front was "Moon Records RIP: Ska Wuz Here". I admit I cried b/c it was at that moment I realized an era in my life was over. I walked around the village and lower Manhattan for a couple hours in a total daze with memories of shows, bands, songs, and people going thru my head.
