Strange Advance - Love Games (partial video)

[chapmoss]

As I remember, she was also the make up artist for the 2 videos that we shot that trip (New Orleans).

I can't recall her name. I just talked to 2 other members (Drew & Darryl) last week, and one of them might recall.

Not sure about the reunion thing. We've talked a lot about it - I guess the guys are a bit nervous and unsure how much support there would be.

Does anyone knows who is the lady of the video ? Any Strange Advance reunion ?

[hectorlabbe]

Dear Strange Advance, we beg you... Your fans are dying for you guys to get back together for a tour !!!! Pleaseeeeeee

[chapmoss]

I don't really have anything as far as stills. Somewhere, I still have prints from the trip down to N.O. to shoot the videos, but who knows where the shots are now.

Still hearing rumours about a possible reunion tour this summer. Keep your eyes and ears open...

[sophiascalpel]

bloody wonderful!

[ReggieNeeReggie]

Can you post "The second that I saw you"?

[chapmoss]

That's me on drums. We shot this and "She Controls Me" the same weekend, down in New Orleans.

Anyone know where I can download a high rez version of this video?

thanks

;0)

Nice work, Chapmoss! You were working very hard on this and Controls Me! How long did you play with these guys for? They should have been alot bigger than they were.

[chapmoss]

I worked on these two videos and some television up in Canada. On the second record, I was just involved doing some remote recording. I am still close friends with the 2 main songwriters (30 years later!?).

Ever year there's talk of some sort of reunion tour up here in Canada with some other, similar acts, but it's never quite come together.

@chapmoss Really? Very lucky! I love strange advance. Do you have any hi-rez quality versions of the boys' videos. I'd love to get my hands on those!

[paintedship]

@chapmoss why is the cymbal in back of you?

[adel1209]

wow !!!! i have searched this so long !!! i love it !!

[smegweevil]

Excellent! I had forgotten about this song. Really good song. Catchy stuff.

[desertlonghair]

You can currently get the 12" mix of this song on the Canadian CD release "Retro:Active 5" ... it's great!

[lovebabyL1]

love this song so great

[joyjoel8]

I really should check out the video to see if I recognize him?1?  This music makes me nostalgic. It's so pre-industrial. Tinny almost. Simplistic.

[garfunkel]

Where are these guys now???

[robbat2]

Not sure about the rest of them, but I met Daryl at a bar I frequent over the weekend. I'd seen him there before as another regular, but just never spoken to him.

[joyjoel8]

Are you speaking about Daryl from the Payola's? He was an owner of Mussels on Danforth. His newphew picked me up in the alleyway. For his uncle.

[robbat2]

Not sure what else he did, just that he mentioned formerly being of Strange Advance.

[Muzakpunk]

Thanks for posting. These guys kinda reminded me of a Canadian version of Ultravox (I mean that in a good way.)

[Iverson1973]

Paul Iverson, Drew Arnott & Daryl Kromm definitely need to get back together for another album!

[tickertape82]

I'd rather dance to this than to the unoriginal and uninspiring Hip/Hop or Top 40 crap that they play in the clubs these days.

[gordharris]

I love the 80's style, I wish the clothes were back, now it's the 70's look.

[Yum23]

Kick ass shirts!

[toledo93j]

I like the background.
