@notthatyouasked6656 Год назад

One of my college friends in the early 80s had copies of the first UK albums he let me borrow. I was hooked immediately. Over the years I've collected some memorabilia and a lot of their records including several obscurities with otherwise unreleased songs. The gem of my memorabilia collection is an application for the use of the Stray Cats name and logo on clothing as a registered trademark, signed by all 3 guys with their actual, legal names.

I remember watching that when it came on. Knew of the Cats but seeing that live...It was so mind blowing compared to what was on the radio at the time. Caused me to deep dive waaay back. Not unfamiliar with the influences but I really began to listen. Damn Setzer was so young and listen to how fully formed those songs were. Great Stuff.

@christophertracy2807 2 года назад

It seems that Fridays actually did a better job at booking live musical acts than Saturday Night Live when you look back on it. It did have the advantage of being in the best part of the 80s so there was were plenty of new acts that woudl become legends like DEVO, the Clash, and these guys who were just starting to get noticed.

@lacunachannel3841 Год назад

totally agreee-- Fridays had the hottest UK acts that we only saw on fanzines like CREAM in NA

@christophertracy2807 Год назад

@@lacunachannel3841 They were light on the black acts though. I think that had the Bus Boys but there is no way they should not have had Prince and Rick James - just to two 2 hot young acts at that time.

@@christophertracy2807 Very good point, and that explains why I didn't get into hip hop soul and real black music until much later. Interesting that Sun Ra was a guest on SNL though. Good thing we have the Internet now.

Le groupe est incroyable et dans les années 80 ya eux pleins de groupes qui s'appelait teenkats et autres. Mais Brian et ces groupes Stray Cats et Rockabilly riot Ou Setzer jazz band sont toujours les numéros 1 Brian et ces musiciens formidables font des tournées sold out partout dans le monde. Brian n est pas un guitariste sous estimé ces les nanars qui disent ça il est le meilleur et sans égale. Beaucoup d admiration pour Brian qui est très intelligent.
