"Domination" - TMC + The New Generation

Since Facebook is becoming a virtual high school reunion, I have been recalling those days lately...and, of course, that means memories of my so-called "band" in those days -- TMC + The New Generation. What was TMC+TNG? Well, it is what happens when you have two teenagers who start buying synthesizers, samplers, drum machines and sequencers...who are then introduced to a rapper from Asbury Park who has a bunch of brothers and sisters he enlists as dancers. The result is what I usually refer to as "Run DMC meets Depeche Mode." Anyway, here is crappy video from a performance of the late, great Green Parrot in Neptune, NJ, from either 1989 or 1990, I guess. It is a clip of a song called "Domination," which was written by me (lyrics) and my friend Christian Beach (music), who was the primary musical force of TMC+TNG (and is now a singer-songwriter...see www.christianbeach.net). Usually, I was behind the other bank of keyboards, but I switched places with our rapper for this one and came out front to sing. Now, on this particular night, I was fighting a head cold...but on top of that, I forgot the words (0:23) and then I stepped on the microphone cord (2:09). However, you cannot deny my mad frontman skills! Oh, wait...I meant BAD frontman skills.
