That's a Chessmen cover,very cool

[powergirl901]

The mid eighties in the US was a fantastic time for girl bands. Just in Los Angeles you could see a new one each week. I got spoiled and made my reputation by collecting them. Only a few were even signed.

@Cantonus "The Cartridge Family", wonderfull!

Wow! When and where is the Brood reunion? It should happen!!

[LightningChimp]

Think I saw the Tammys there! Long live bouffant rock!

[Khultan]

Hello, again, Funknroll, you are doing it again. : )

[Timmybear]

@MrSuedehead72 - cauchemardesques! Wonderful - I always wondered how to say 'nightmarish' in French. If I may be so bold as to translate for the Anglo-onlys in the crowd: Super sound! The 80s were nightmarish! But happily, we had the fuzztones, cynics, fleshtones and the Dogs (super French group) and the Brood. And other obscure garage/freakbeat combos. Merci pour cette son! ;)

[estefayeah]

cool video!!!! awesome bands!!!!!!!

[Cantonus]

Well, let's see! The Cartridge Family made up of the keyboardist from the Brood Kristen Chalmers, the singer of The Moguls/Talismen Rick Chalmers, the younger brother Jon and younger sister Katy and the mom Nancy Chalmers. I think Ned Crab of The Moguls/Talismen played drums and maybe Doug Dellefemine. I'll try and think of more. I still have fliers from some those days in a box.
