I Remember Back in 1980,
Findin' an Album
in Papa Jazz Record Store,
That had These Eyes Starin' at Ya...
And, The Name of the Band:
Angel City...
Papa Jazz Had This Great Return Policy:
IF You Didn't Like The Record You Bought,
(Or It Was Scratched or Somethin')
You Could Return It and Get Store Credit...
So, I Got to Try Many Bands Durin' That Time
In The 70's & Early 80's...
And I Found Out Angel City Was an
Australian Band Named The Angels...
And Supposedly They Used That Name
In The States To Avoid Confusion
With The Band: ANGEL!?!
And This Is an Excellent Recordin'
And This Band Is Great
And You Should Give Them a Listen
And Not Just 'Cause I Said So
And That Means You Too, DD
(I Read Your Comment...)
And That's All I Got To Say
(And That Just Applies To THIS Post)
Great band !! I own some of their cds including a fantastic double live album !! Never got to see them live though. thanks for this
ReplyDeleteThis is the band alan lancaster of status quo became friends with,I think they later became the bombers or some of them did,the song marseille was one they used to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Love these guys. AC/DC gets all the attention, but there are a lot great Aussie bands worth checking out, including Angels, Radio Birdman, Hitmen, Fourmyula and Zoot - featuring a young Rick Springfield long before his teen-heartthrob days.
ReplyDeleteTo my mind, the Angels are/were a better band than AC/DC!
ReplyDeleteAny angels concert was an experience. There was no chatting up girls or talking to your mates because they were so loud and aggressive. You just hoped you made it through there show without your ears bleeding. Oh how i fondly remember my long past youth.
ReplyDeleteBelated thanks for this one, Rocket. Great sound, upfront and in your face like being in the club. This certainly isn't the full set list, but it's a fantastic burst nonetheless. Wish "Take a Long Line" could have made it to the tape, as it was undoubtedly in the set. Thanks as always.
ReplyDeleteI May Have Another Show with That Song, KingP...I'll Have a Look in the Vault!
