Yet another C86 band that weren't actually on C86, Brighton's 14 Iced Bears distinguished themselves somewhat by having a more psychedelic tinge to their music. You can definitely hear the Syd Barrett influence and I suspect they might have been Rain Parade/Paisley Underground fans as well.
Their second album, Wonder, from 1991 on Borderline Records, doesn't seem to be really highly regarded by a lot of indie heads but I for one think it's fantastic. This is the opening track.

just stopped by the blog, i'm from boards, via the shoegaze/indie night post. i'm more than slightly overwhelmed by your encyclopedic music knowledge but will be watching the blog.
are you familiar with Best Coast? Try "when i'm with you" or "sun was high (so was i)"
Thanks for the tip Zoe... "Sun Was High" is an utterly brilliant track!
