Hooters (the band)
Moderators: StevieG, dANdeLION, lucimay
The Hooters toiled away for years before they hit. A guy I work with used to do their lights back when they were playing schools and churches.
Decent band, great live.

Holy shit, I didn't think anyone remembered The Kings! I had the 45 of "This Beat Goes On/Switchin' to Glide".

Man I loved that '80s faux-rock pop stuff.

Au contraire mon frère. There was certainly a lot of hairspray back then, but there was also quite a bit of substance and some damn fine musicians.Trapper wrote:Most 80's bands were hairspray and nothing else.

I did say most.
There was a lot of pure unadulterated tripe as well, brought to us by any fool with a synthesiser on which they had half-wittedly constituted some amateurish maudlin riff.
Sarge and I used to have fun with the idea on this thread:
kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=10335
Edit: On looking back through it I see you visited, Cail.
Actually, "All You Zombies" might have worked for the seige of Revelstone.

The Kings

The Cars
...and perhaps the best 80'2 band EVER..... BIG COUNTRY!
These were some kick ass bands.

I overstated the hairspray point. Pretty much all '80s music was better than modern R&B.
Bizarre that you mentioned Big Country, Guns, this discussion had only just encouraged me to pull out their "The Crossing" album that I bought second-hand 15-20 years ago and have listened to maybe once (apart from "In a Big Country" which gets a spin every 2-3 years).

Nice ones. Might I add Crowded House/Neil Finn to that bunch as well as Nick Lowe?A Gunslinger wrote:Roxy MusicCail wrote:Au contraire mon frère.

Speaking of the Kings, check out their website. Looks like they're releasing some new stuff: www.thekingsarehere.com/
Null: The Hooters, prior to the national release of Nervous Night, were still playing local clubs in the Philly area when I was in high school. To promote the band, a local radio station (WMMR) held a contest for all local high schools. The school that submitted the most post cards (the hand written name of your highschool on the card) would win a free Hooters concert. I think my school had about 2000 students, so we had a pretty good advantage from the start. Other than that, high school sucked!
