So back in the day there was a local access TV show called "Boston Live!" on Channel 68 that featured local bands playing live in the studio. I watched it as much as I could and taped a bunch of stuff off it onto Betamax and watched that tape quite a bit back in the day.
Now most of that stuff is up and available on YouTube.
Like this band.
Q: What.... Ans: Nothing... (1981)
Orbits.
This is some really fucking catchy Bubblegum New Wave Pop you could ever want.
It's like sonic cotton candy.
You just have to tap your foot and nod along so that even when the dude with the serious hair is singing "Big Tits/They make me giggle" in "Rear View Mirror" you just kind of let it slide by you without noticing.
And that's what makes this so fucking special.
This is what they looked like when they were doing just that on the aforementioned "Boston Live!"
The 80s sure were a different time, man. (But I do totally dig that Dan Armstrong plexi guitar though)
