I loved that band.

But that Philip don't care

:laughing:
We've already added in "My Sharona" and "Best Friend's Girl;" they just weren't ready to put in the set list for that night. :dude
Re: 80s band debut tonight
Beat Farmers! BWAHAHAHA!
"I'm a happy boy ... pvt, pvt, pvt, pvt,
I'm a happy boy ... pvt, pvt, pvt, pvt,
Ain't it great when life is goin' yer way? Hey, hey!"
Nothing like a kazoo-enhanced song about a dead pet!
Re: 80s band debut tonight
My band "The Nards" do several Beat Farmers songs.
Bigger Stones, Lost Weekend, Blue CHevrolet.
Next week (May 30th) I'll be doing a show with another band opening for Joey Harris's band "The Joey Show"
Re: 80s band debut tonight
I have a suggestion for a groovy 80's song: Kim Mitchell's "Go For A Soda."
You have to get the Strat riff just right, and the roaring harmony vocals present a challenge, but other than that, it's just straight rockin' and a complete hoot. One of my favorite records of all time.... I'll bet ya'll could pull it off.
Re: 80s band debut tonight
I think it'd be fun to do a post-new-wave cover band, doing one set as the Smiths, one as the Cure, and one as Prefab Sprout. You could have a costume change between each one.
"Oh Mother, I can feel...the soil falling over my head..."

Please excuse the small hijack...
Fezzter,
After Buddy died I wrote a song about it in a style I though he might have. I recorded it and it's on myspace.com/thenardsrock

Not a fave of mine, but, MAN, that one really puts me in a specific time and place.
I'm 16 and washing dishes. The cooks are tossing burnt toast and lemon nubs over the wall at me
And that song or "Der Commissar," is on the greasy radio.
