Doug Fieger RIP and long live ‘The Fools’

by Jim on February 15, 2010

So my first music post is about the lead singer of the Knack. The reason this is interesting to me at least, is that I saw The Knack back in 1979 at the Orpheum in Boston, Ma. They basically played the entire album and a Beatles cover, if I’m not mistaken and the show was over in less than hour.

Here is a link to EW’s post on his death and a bunch of YouTube Videos …

The best thing that came out of that show was my love for the opening act ‘The Fools’. they had a couple of great mid 70′s albums Sold Out / Heavy Mental Great 70′s power pop, but they will always be remembered for being played on Dr. Demento with the song ‘Psycho Chicken’ a parody of the Talking Heads ‘Psycho Killer’ . It’s available as both Albums on one CD

Psycho Chicken wasn’t actuality on the album, it was a flexi single attached to the first album…anyway highly recommend…..
