Rezillos - Destination Venus

If bands want to sound as good as "the good old days" all they have to do is play good music instead of wimpy, commercial shit.

I seen these guys in Frisco about ten years ago.

I wish bands could write 'em like this these days.

They're seem to be somewhat like a Scottish counterpart of The B-52's.

I like how the drummer gets up from his kit while the drums on the tape are clearly still playing. I guess it was no secret that Top of the Pops was faked.

some of the more credible/cynical/capable bands used to do stuff to demonstrate they were miming - to show scorn for being told to play along. For instance tin machine's guitarist took fistfuls of pasta out of his pocket and spread it on the guitar instead of miming his solo...

que coloridos, y su musica muy nice

Great stuff. Love em. Gotta see em. Keep missing their gigs

Acts like this put revivalist danceable fun back into rock music in the late 70s.
