Reunion


the Girls again.






Reunion (1986)

From Boston. They existed from 1976 to around 1980. By reports of a guy who knew them and I was in a band with in the mid-80's, by the end of their run they all hated one another and were wont to have frequent fights onstage. But that same mutual loathing fueled some really amazing live performances.

I don't know. I wasn't there. It's all hearsay to me.

However in 1986 and for many years after this little compilation was all there was to go on besides the previously posted single. It was called "Reunion" and consists of a bunch of previously recorded numbers from when the band actually existed. They were like that.

As it stands. It's definitely damaged arty synth punk shit or whatever micro genre you want to pigeonhole it into. It's tough. It can take it.

Your mom will hate it.
Your college roommate would probably hate it. (unless he likes it, then you probably hate it.)
You might hate it too, but can't stop eating it like a big bowl of candy corn that's sitting in front of you.

Listen to it anyway.
While it's still legal to do so.
