Every show starts with the ’70s! We’ll rediscover forgotten rockers, revisit unfairly maligned disco beats and replay power-pop favorites. Next: plenty of new releases, occasional live bands and more. Don’t let the nickname confuse you.

johnk77:
it might have been very early 1980s
he was on columbia or cbs
managed by bill graham
probably introduced at parties
by a mutual friend?
Scott from Boston:
Bruce S.:
I guess they were considered New Wave at the time
Barbara in PA:
No Big Thing in Chicago:
johnk77:
he was a better promoter
than a manager?
bill was certainly 1 of the very best
rock promoters i ever met
in the summer of 1980 i was touring w/
tommy tutone as we provided support
for tom petty & heartbreakers

Thanks for this memory Evan.

McGroovey:
My friends' bands covered songs by those people, and my friends hated "new wave" as much as they hated disco.
They did cover a couple Cars songs, though. Shhhh. I didn't tell them.
