And , of course , Van Morrisson was motivated to start his own R'N'B BAND , INSTEAD OF A SHOW BAND , FROM SEEING THE MIGHTY , MIGHTY SECT. I ASKED DON CRAINE OF THE SECT (WHO'S GREEN - BLOODED LIKE MORRISSON , AND , FOR THE MOST PART , MYSELF.) IF VAN EVER SAT IN , AT LEAST ON HARP OR SAX , WITH THE SECT , BUT , IT TURNS OUT , HE DID'NT.

The Sect were not mods as such but the original South London mods loved to see them live with their pure R&B sets and the Irish mods followed Them as an R&B band, again not mod as such but the music suited. Mods never really had their own bands they listened to R&B and take from anything thats cool! they had taste!
John Battles said:Artwoods and John's Children , I agree with. I never thought of The Sect or Them as Mod , so much as hard R'n'B , but ,then , The Sect were all over the place. Funny thing , tho' , I heard some mod organizations hired The Sect and The Troggs for their events. Then comlained that they did'nt sound enough like their records....If they sounded any more like their records , now, they'd have to announce Winston Churchill's death between sets.

The prisoners are a great example of the mod sound. Another band that had some bite,also from the 80's was les elite.
...more on the power pop tip but a personal fave of the mod revival groups of the 80's was the teen beats! They had a great 7" out called I can't control myself.
Thee Retroman said:The Prisoners were a mod band with bite! and so were the Daggerman... the energy of these bands was how mod should sound.
