It was September 4, 1882, when the Pearl Street generating station in Manhattan was illuminated by Edison incandescent light bulbs.

The tag team of @JimInOz and @TasMike combined their talents to flesh out the answer. Well done! For some reason I am unable to upload the awards. Will do when I sort out the problem.

Well done Matty - aced it

Hopefully we meet in the Grand Final and I don’t feel ‘browned off’ in Maillard fashion afterwards

To the unedified, who might they be? Google images tells me the Lovin’ Spoonful.

I may, of course, be completely wrong but I’m halfway through a celebratory drink. In which case being wrong won’t matter 😉

Well done! I was hoping to wake up this morning to find you all scratching your heads in angst - begging for a clue. I should have known better! 😁

I thought I had it early on, but the crossed out tail on the ING lion had me bamboozled.

Not the full ING
Just IN, as in ‘lovin’?

@Syzygy nailed that one. Too easy! Is @Syzygy one of our Australian contingent? I don’t know. I’m certain it is common knowledge that a baby kangaroo is a Joey. As in Joe E. I’ll formulate another rebus sometime that isn’t so easy!

I happen to be in the Washington D.C. region, but have enough surface knowledge about enough things to bullsh*t my way through most things! So, Joey stuck out (pun intended), and my Mentor and close friend is a Brown graduate, so I recognized their crest.
