Benny Profane - Skateboard to Oblivion

[CraigG1960]

They must have Frank Sinatra syndrome because I thought I'd seen what was billed as their last gig in 1990.

What are they singing after "He guides his skateboard down the contraflow while smiling sweet oblivion opens up her ...." ???

Saw these in Warrington Legends early nineties, bought their album on the back of it and played this song the most, so, cheers.

I asked the woman guitarist why she was laughing throughout the whole set and she just said she was enjoying herself. Was quite young but seen loads of bands, just never anyone enjoying themself on-stage so much. Will never forget that.

There was a very good video for "Rob a Bank"! But i don't think it's on youtube actually!

i've got a full live recording of Benny Profane from the Merry Engla nd Bar, North Pier Blackpool Circa 1990. great version of Jerked To Jesus on it marred b y the a group of lads at the front repeatedly asking for 'Crying Red'... Will try and upload.

i do believe that blackpool gig was the last time we played together as the full band, and am i right in thinking the the gig ended with magic alex replacing us on stage for the last song?
