Please tell me there is someone out there that remembers these dudes...

And two of the best bands to dissapear out of the 80's:

Chalk Circle

Grapes of Wrath

Boy, some of these songs are causing me to have flashbacks to high school dances!  ;D  Ah....the good ol' days when life was easy and simple.
 
Since this one was released in 1994, it's not strictly within the timelines of you older folks...

Pretenders Night in my Veins

...but since the band was around in various forms (given the odd band-member overdose death) since the late '70s, it should still qualify.

Besides, any song about Chrissie Hynde's appreciation of back alley and parking lot sex.... ;D

 
Here's one I fortgot to post yesterday as being rather appropriate given the day:

Just because Sheena Easton comes from Scotland  she is not annoying. Beside she is from the same town my Dad is form . Two miles from were I am now living. I think you cannae understand her  Jock accent

Niner D: You are indeed impressing me!  Annabella pumping out "I want candy" at the ripe old age of 15!  I was 15!  I was in love!!!

:o
Oh, Honeymoon Suite did "wave babies" there, Librarian, remember?  That video was filmed half an hour or so from my hometown of Belleville, Ontario at the Sandbanks!

Gowan!  Man, memories!  I was so focused on NOT being seen at a Gowan concert when I was 17 or so that I avoided some girl's obvious attempts to pick me up by offering to take me to the Gowan show in Toronto!


Oh, and check THIS out:

OH MY GOD!!  I feel like I"m having some sort of bad trip back to the 80's....highschool and all!!  Bring back memories of free concerts in Victoria Park in London...Gowan, Platinum Blonde, Luba, Glass Tiger...all the "great" up and coming Canadian artists!!    8)

Speaking of Matt Minglewood...March 31 in Petawawa...8pm, at the Legion..tickets $12 advance, or $15 at the door...Listed in tonight's Post.
 
My dear Groucho, I'm afraid you've fallen prey to the beastie of assumption.  I lived in the UK for a number of years, was in the RN as a jenny and was married to a fine young Royal Marine from Bearsden.  My grandfather was also from Scotland and I spent my first 19 years as a highland dancer, the last 20 teaching it and 12 years as a piper...so...Easton's accent is not the problem, her voice was.  She had a 2 octave range and everything she sang sounded like it was produced and directed by the same engineers who did the Archies except with more bubble gum.


My mom had a thing for Gowan when he was the front man for Rhinegold - she loved the way he leapt off the stage and something about tight satin pants...ewwww (she had a thing for the fornt man for April Wine and Crowbar too...more ewww and to really annoy us as kids she'd play her Valdy 8 tracks...LOL)
 
Its Like some bad trip back to childhood...

Oh well One band left to tick off of myy "I grew Up with and want to see them live" list...and the tickets are pre-ordered and waiting for dispersal to me on saturday for that last one great band.

The Police, June 2nd in Edmonton...


De Do Do Do De Da Da Da...yeaaa
 
HUGE concert year for me, entertainment budget shot.  Meat Loaf on Mar 4, The Police, and Roger Waters.  That aught to reset my rock clock to about 1982-ish..... ;D
 
On the radio on the way home from work tonight:

Soft Cell Tainted Love. Although an 80s tune, it stirred up memories of certain maroon shirted guys drinking out of my shoes somewhere in Africa to this one!! Good times. Great memories.
