First time I've ever heard of them let alone listened to them.
Methinks they must have have been influenced by Lou Reed and Velvet Underground ?
Just looked up the Wiki entry (link below) on Mink DeVille and in the section "The Capitol years" there's a reference to Velvet Underground. The timing's seems right, which does suggest possible influence ? Never got wind of them in the late 70's over here.could be, from the usa, made number 20 in the uk charts in 1977 during the punk/new wave thing.

Anyway - thanks for posting their tune - I'll check out more of their recordings.
