Here is their Wikipedia listing which is all a bit Spinal Tap:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sonseed<\/strong> was a Christian pop band formed at the Church of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Brooklyn, New York in the late 1970s. The line-up included Sal Polichetti (bass, vocals); his then wife Patricia Costagliola (keyboards, vocals); Frank Franco (guitar, vocals); Kevin McGillen (backup vocals); and Nicky Sciarra (drums). Their sole album, <em>First Fruit<\/em>, was released in 1983. A proposed follow-up, <em>Just Can&#8217;t Get Enough (Of Jesus!!!)<\/em>, with more new wave and New Romantic elements, never saw official release, but some bootleg tracks have surfaced. Nicky Sciarra became district manager of Community Board 7 in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. He passed away in 1993 after apparently choking on a sandwich.<\/p>\n<p>The band came back into the spotlight in 2008 when a recording of them performing their ska-based song &#8216;Jesus Is A Friend Of Mine&#8217;, from a religious TV show, appeared on the Dougsploitation blog, and subsequently became a YouTube hit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>David Crowder does Jesus Is My Friend:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http:\/\/download.macromedia.com\/pub\/shockwave\/cabs\/flash\/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" \/><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" \/><param name=\"src\" value=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hyTtK5R6NqM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" \/><embed type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/hyTtK5R6NqM&amp;hl=en&amp;fs=1\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fabulous clip from a TV appearance by 80s band Sonseed.
