Yes, one of the guitar players is Leroy Radcliff from the Chartbusters, the rest of the band is The Shake a band from RI who backed Robin for a few months. I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

If you were from the MA. N.H. R.I. area in the 80's, this song was a local radio staple and for a good reason- timeless song!

Greater song from a great Boston band.

This song is in the Grown Ups movie!!! :) It reminds me of Greg Khin meets Patti Smith.

Raza,

My appologies, I did check out the band The Schemers on Youtube and this is not the band I saw in the 80's, the vidio I saw had a note that they should not be confused with the band of the same name from NY, which I apparenty did!

The NY band (The one I saw) sucked on toast and I am sorry for the confusion, Thanks for setting me strait!

@Mytoob69 You absolutely have the Schemers mixed up with someone else. The Schemers were SO far from Hardcore it's not even funny. Thaey had pop sounding songs with nice melodies. Look them up here on youtube and you'll see that it's not possibly the Schemers you're talking about.

I never cared for "Punk" music and the Schemers where hardcore, I can't stand it when a "singer" gets up to a microphone and shout's out unintelligable jiberish and obscenities, it's so juvenile and hurts my ears!

I also appreciate music that has a determinable rythme and maby a melody would be nice as well?

You might think I don't "Get" Punk music and you would be correct, I never have.

Loved Robin Lane and Joe Perry tho,

You must have seen a bad Schemers show because they were a really good band..excellent tunes. I did see Mark Cutler look very disinterested at times though.

I saw Robin and the Chartbusters play at a small theater in Worcester MA back around 1980... about the same time DEVO had "Whip It" on the charts... But in the Worcester area, this tune was an 'anthem" type smash hit.

To me, her albums are classics. Still have them both on vinyl along with a live EP that has a cool cover of Shakin All Over. Never saw her in a club setting but I did see her open for the Kinks at the Prov Civic center in 1980.
