Hot Dates-Tune Into Me/Until She Comes

Local Boston band of the early 80's-released one album independently and got decent airplay on local stations with the first song. Nice pop songs.
Performance is from the TV show Boston: Live!, which aired weekday evenings on Channel 68, WQTV for a few years in the early 80's, and featured performances by local and national musical acts.

So I'm watching this because it's linked to Spock stuff, and I'm wondering why, and then they show an extreme closeup of some very happy guy "playing" lead, and, ohmigod, is it Robb? IT IS! I ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR LAUGHING! THIS IS YOUR "LISTEN TO THE FLOWER PLEOPLE"! "Tune into Me" does have a killer riff. Great stuff.

See that dude with teh bleached hair, and the red and white striped short sleeve shirt? yeah, that's me. I posted a the vid response from my own youtube channel...I have much less hair. ;-)

I suppose they had not discovered cheap manufacturing of fabrics back in 1980, so one had to live with very little fabric stretched over ones' frame.

For all that, the song is not half bad!

I had this EP (I think it was), I remember the jacket had a comment from WBCN DJ Charles Laquidara making some comment that they sounded like the Beatles.
