When that decade’s punk rock movement morphed into the post-punk scene, a number of area bands made their impact…
...Yakima’s Wreckless caused a stir in Seattle after they became the Visible Targets, scored a New Wave and college-radio hit with “Life In The Twilight Zone,” and toured widely, opening for Simple Minds. Meanwhile, a Spokane power-pop band, Sweet Madness, also relocated to Seattle where they reemerged as Next Exit, playing the town’s clubs and cutting the fun and quirky gem, “Static Cling.” (from: http://www.historylink.org/essays/output.cfm?file_id=7490)The Visible Targets:Pamela Golden ~ Guitar / Rebecca Hamilton ~ Bass / Laura Keane ~ Vocals / Ron Simmons ~ Drums

Hey Ryp
Thanks for this great post (and all the others). Anyway I was wondering whether you could repost an album you posted back in 2009 (if you still have it) and that is Freedom Wind by the Explorers Club who at the time you were rather taken with by their mix of West Coast / Pop Psych & Sunshine Pop. Its the one album (other than being available on youtube) I haven't been able to track down.
The reason I have just discovered them is that they have two albums out at the moment, one of 60's covers and the other their 4th original album. As such it might be timely to do a retrospective of their first three albums. The second and third are certainly as good as the first and the third album features members of Brian Wilson's band as well as the bands mastermind and Jack Black lookalike Jason Brewer.
The new albums are very good too. Even the covers album is with the cover of the Mighty Quinn very close to the Manfred Mann version.Certainly deserving of a bit of promotion
Thanks.
Phantom,
that's a good idea! Very nice music from the Explorers Club on the previous 3 albums that I have and that I will be repeating soon!
Stay tuned!
Thanks so much- have been looking forward to this album for a long time. I have a Pamela Golden album from the 90's which is gorgeous, ethereal pop music. I will share it with everyone soon...
