Yes, I'm a bass player out East in Halifax, I played professionally for many years with various artists through the late 80's and 90's as well as doing professional studio recordings. :)
Holy crap, I never thought I'd hear this band again. I had their cassette in the late 80's and LOVED IT. I lost it and was never able to find it anywhere. Cool to see it again.
An excellent song and vid. I actually first encountered this band when they opened for Platinum Blonde in Halifax in 1986. I remember looking around for their "Just In Time To Be Late" cassette but only found it in Moncton.
To the best of my recollection, the were here with Platinum Blonde once in '86 after their first record and they were here in Halifax again after the second album came out, but the gig I remember was at the Misty Moon Caberet. I don't recall a gig with Glass Tiger and Eye Eye, as for Haywire, Eye Eye were a much bigger band then Haywire, Haywire played a number of shows at the Metro Centre but they were always the opener.
lol Now that has to fall under, "you know you are a fan when" you are taking screen shots with a still cam. I can't match that, but we did have a Beta VCR :-)
I have looked for this tune for a long time now, I used to play the hell out of my 45 record I had :) Great tune! Thanks for posting, you made my day. I love the eighties and I'm glad I was a part of it :)
ah, cool, I get so used to talking to people in Ontario and stuff, I forget that every now and then someone local finds me on here. We are about the same age according to your profile so we probably spent time in the same bars. If you ever hung out at the Misty Moon we probably crossed paths at some point. I started playing around here way before I was old enough to get into a bar. lol
Wow, I have been looking for this for years, I remember singing this tune as loud as I could...loved it in the day, still sounds great today :) Thanks for posting dude, you made my day :)
Hey, I was at that show, it's small world! I was born in Halifax and now live across the harbor in Dartmouth. A side to that, Bill from the band says he really loves Halifax and he went to school at Acadia U for a time.
