I got turned onto Tuff Darts back in 78 or 79 and fell in love with their stuff. Bob Clearmountain produced the album Tuff Darts, and later went on to fame as the best rock engineer ever.
I'd love to see Tuff Darts live, but from these vids I've listened to & watched it seems like the band hasn't actually sat down and listened to the album themselves in a long time. Sorry Tommy...just being up front.
I was FOH for The Ventures back in those days and used to play it on the bus; they dug it.
yeah...he was a good guy and a great talent. There will be a memorial show with Tuff Darts and special guests at Kenny's Castaways, NYC on 3/22/08. Are you near NYC? Stop by.
Caught your group at the Phoenix in Chicago and the Stranglers were also touring with you. Like everyone else, can't remember the year for obvious reasons....
Saw these guys at the Second Chance in Ann Arbor......sometime in the late seventies, it's all a blur now, but they were electric! Still listen to the cassette in the barn! "She's Dead..."
Great song that I loved ever since I bought the original LP in the late 1970s. I think I could apply the sentiments to about 90% of my old girlfriends.
They sound great!

This song should have been right up there with Aerosmith's "big 10 inch record" . The perfect hybrid of punk and AOR hard rock.

I remember the Darts from the late 70s punk scene in NYC. My band recorded with them. Their original lead singer was Robert Gordon. Great band.
