The Teardrop Explodes. Treason

[TheNouveauxdecadence]

Treason and When i Dream are my 2 top favourites by this exceptional band +

[Wilthomer66]

Wasn't Cope tripping when they did this on "TOTP" or was it another appearance? I shall have to re-consult "Head On".

@Wilthomer66 Great book !!!!!!

I'm a straight man but the young Julian Cope had a very attractive face, if he had been a girl I would have fancied him.Reminds me of Jamie Lee Curtis a bit, anyone agree?

[MrsElizabethCairo]

I love this song, Liverpool in the early eighties, the Casablanca Nighclub and cheap beer....

[Polecatz]

Gonna sing this next time I do karaoke. Practising now. Pity the neighbours

[FozzyOverload]

arrgh Playback sucks :(

[Stellamust]

The guy with the white jumper thing is Alfie Agius and he is/was the bass player. I used to love this band. Met Alfie when he was signed to a Virgin Records band, Interview. What are you doing now Alfie?

[camionerodebasura]

Influential band, still sounds contempory.

[Snotra]

Bunnymen!

[101Volts]

I'm going to check out some more of their songs. You know, I'm probably one of few who heard of this band maybe the first time after reading about the band "Big In Japan" Which a member of The Teardrop Explodes was in back in 1977 or so. My, What some Youtube browsing can do for you. (I found out about Big In Japan by going through someone's page, That someone had an XTC video... And I just found this video from an XTC video in the related bar! Good gravy!)
