I saw the "Execs" at the Chicken Box (Nantucket) on Halloween 1983 (I think, maybe '84). Some of them were wearing duck heads as costumes. It was pretty wild and was quite a party!
I saw these guys at the WBCN Rock n Roll Rumble also in 83. What a great show. Wish I could find a way to get this on my IPOD. Cant find any vinly of it.
I remember those free metro lunch concerts! Once I saw Fishbone at one of those and around 2003 I was skiing at Breckenridge, CO and Fishbone was playing at this small club and I was talking to someone and this guy throws his arm around me from behind and says "Can you dig it?" It was the lead singer from Fishbone out in the audience. I think I screamed I can dig it into the microphone he put in my face.
It's a hoot to see this here...note the personnel: Walter Clay (vocals), Andrew Barnaby (lead guitar), Sean Slade (rhythm guitar), Ted Pine (keys), Russ Gershon (tenor sax, solo), Jim Fitting (bari sax, but not on the recording I believe), Paul Kolderie (bass), Jerome Deupree (drums, but I believe Danny Johnson played on the recording). Song by Pine and Slade.
F*CK YEAH this is why I love YouTube. You won't find classic stuff like this anywhere else. This brings back some great college memories. "My Ex" was all over Boston college radio at one point. Wonder what happened to my 12" single of this...
I remember seeing this band at the Orpheum back in the mid-80s. They were the opening act for The Motels. It was one of the best all-around musical performances I've ever been to.
I saw the Sex Execs at WBCN's battle of the bands (1983, I think) & was hoping they would win - unfortunately, Til Tuesday won. Thanx for posting such a cool video! I never even knew it exsisted.
So cool, an old favortie! The Ferns Motel, lol, still there, too! Although I'm more famillair with Chisholm's Motel for my olde escapdes............couldn't make it that far up route rt.1.
I LOVED this band when I was in school in Boston! I had this album as well and was sick when it was stolen along with all of my music! It was really awesome to hear this song again--it brought back some great memories. thanks to Alan!!!!
@Iamaluckyperson.....Dude, Your Dad Rocks! This reminds me of cruising on Cape Cod summer of 1984! Is the Band still together?
