This tape was given to me by a close friend years ago. He had decided to tape the band because we were going to The Atlantic Lounge every weekend and we enjoyed the band so much. We had already bought the demo tape they were selling but he wanted to have more of their music. He taped it and had made a copy for me. I've had it for years and I found it recently.

Yes, that is "Straight Up" by Paula Abdul and it is a kick ass version of the song....They also do a fantastic version of "Walkin' The Dog", "The Real Me" and "Stay With Me".

Their original songs are amazing!!! All I can say is I wish these guys had gotten signed.

The most interesting thing about this show is the song Excalibur is a song I wrote for the band. I am proud of the song and their version is very cool....I had envisioned different music for it in my head at the time of writing but I am still very happy with and glad to have a recording of it...

This is the same line up as the demo for these guys that I posted before.

This was an awesome band to see live!

My friend gave me a copy of this a few years back and I had it sitting around for a while and when I finally decided to put this site together, I found it and here it is...so enjoy!

I first saw them at The Channel opening for MASS back in 1986. I think I have a guitar pick from that show too that I will have to find...

I also saw them open for Nazareth at The Paradise in February 1987.

Unfortunately, they broke up shortly after that. But a couple of years later in 1990, they had formed a new band called Spread Eagle which I got to see at The Channel.

Please check this out and take a listen!

Enjoy!
