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…..
