Oh no!
It's the Fleshtones!
Up-Front (1980)
I have a real soft spot for this band. I don't have a lot of their records, but then those never really do justice to the glory of the Fleshtones in the flesh. I have a very strong memory of seeing them live in about 1982 at an all ages afternoon show the Channel in Boston and leaving the club at the end drenched and exhausted, but having had a blast.
Live recordings or video don't quite capture the thrill of sweating your nuts off jumping around in a hot hot club while they ply their stripped down rock and roll wares.
It's a dripping throbbing frat party.
Togas optional, but generally frowned upon.
