YES, this IS IN FACT "TRIBE" great band, too bad they fizziled out. Janet LaValley is the lead female vocalist, she won the Best of Boston female vocalist 2 or 3 years running back when these guys were in their hay day. Too bad it never evolved into something more national like say Amy Mann.
I was studying for my economics final in the NU cafeteria (spring semester 88) when I heard this angelic voice sing this song. I remember the band's manager telling people in the study hall one floor above where the band was playing to come and see them as the admission price was waived due to a poor turnout. I remember him saying that they were singing to a column and pleading for people to see them for free. I just had to see them. It was a great concert and the room filled up pretty fast.
you can go to .... tribe online ... and get all sorts of "TRIBE" goodies there thanks to some wonderful people who took the time and effort to put it out there for the fans ... do yourselves a favor and check it out ... you'll be so glad you did
Thank you for posting this song! I heard only version from Here at the Home which is a bit different, but still it's one of my most favorite songs from them. Thank you again.
Somehow I lost this album, but I remember the melodies, instrumentations and Janet's voice. F'ing lucidly lovely. Many a girl was loved. thought of dearly, and lusted after to these tracks. A late high school/early college soundtrack. This whole album is tight, as I recall, and am now happy to re-experience. Thanks to hellknightlizz.
I want to buy this album "Abort".. Payphone is my best track!! but.. Unfortunately, there is no one who have Tribe's album in Korea.. even don't know about Tribe............... Bull shit...
Tribe was a great band, I saw them live many times. They're a good example of how music these days is all about marketing. "Abort" could have been a HUGE hit if only marketed properly. Now we just have memories.
Like SleepyHollow I read a review of Abort and purchased it as a spur of the moment thing.
Tribe: The Best Band That Never Made It. Abort was (and still is) a brilliant album and one of the best to come out of that grungy Boston scene in the early 90's.
One of lifes regrets that I was living in NZ and never got to see them live. Totally brilliant.
Awesome... I own this album (got it back when it came out), but I don't have the means to post things on youtube... I've been eager for someone to post the album version here, so thanks.
Absolutely... it's only by chance that I learned about them back in the day - I think I read a review of Abort that motivated me to buy the album - and I count my lucky stars that I saw that review, or quite possibly Tribe would have passed me by completely.
Now I don't mean to impose upon your free time, but I've noticed that there are a # of other songs from the album not on youtube... and you want the youtube masses (and my Facebook friends, who will get the links) to enjoy themselves, so...
This track closes the album - and very good it is too. Another highlight of the album is 'Joyride' (I Saw The Film). The tracks sound very contemporary.
I've added it because I bought the album just for this song. I could only get the 30 second sample, its nowhere to be found! Apart from a live video...hopefully others can find this band now. Its a brilliant way to 'bring down' the album if you know what I mean!
I don't think "Easter Dinner," "Daddy's Home," "Serenade," "Tied," or "Jakpot" have their album versions on YT yet... so if maybe you wanted to be a hero who would be praised around the world by all discerning music fans, well, you know...
i can't believe i found this!! i used to have it! i swore i was their only fan!!
