The Bongos were a lovely little band from Hoboken, New Jersey, who in the early to mid '80s were absolute darlings of the critics, although I'd guess that hardly anyone under my age or so has ever heard of them now. They put out two proper albums and a lovely little EP and the two guitarists, Richard Barone and James Mastro, also collaborated on a nice album called Nuts and Bolts which featured one side each of their own solo work. All highly worth seeking out, if you can find them.
This is from the final Bongos album, The Beat Hotel from 1985.
