So, I heard part of this song in an episode of "American Horror Story" and looked up the lyrics. I get this feeling this is at least a moderately well known group, but it's been months and I still haven't seen any proof that anyone I've ever met has heard of them.
@MamboMan I'm not sure what this means: "Is she schizophrenic (Kristin admitted to having schiphernia)."
Are you splitting apart the real songwriter from the "narrator" of the song? Either way, I've found references to Kristin Hersh having bipolar disorder and seeing colors with sounds, which could be synaesthesia, rather than schizophrenia.

Anyway, I searched "Mr. Huberty" to see if there's a famous one, and the very first result is James Oliver Huberty who perpetrated the "San Ysidro McDonald's massacre" in 1984: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Ysidro_McDonald%27s_massacre

They were popular in the 80's and early 90's among college radio stations. Then they broke up and Kristin Hersh went solo.

@hardcorevelour bipolar. They were too early to really catch the wave of '90, which is a shame.
