80s Seattle?

Postby hexicon » Mon Sep 20, 2004 11:42 am

Anyone have anything from the REAL Seattle scene (not that grunge stuff [:D])circa 1982-84? Cowboys, Allies, Pudz, Red Dress. (I'm set on the Heats and Young Fresh Fellows.)

In particular, I'm looking for "Look at Michael, He's a Rude Boy" by the Cowboys. Also, "Bop with a Robot," "Take Me to Your Leader," etc. "Eat Your $&%$#ing Cornflakes," anyone?

I don't have anything worth trading, probably, but you'd receive my eternal gratitude and a credit in my novel about Seattle's 1983-84 NW scene. [:D]

I wish I had some audio from that stuff, too. But what I do have are some old ROCKET magazines featuring articles, pix, and concert notices of these groups---also the Heats, the Boibs, etc. That'd be some nice visuals/ collages to go into your book. Let's

Hex -

I'll harass some of my friends and see if they can start digging for the NoWest stuff.

I'll let you know when some stuff turns up.

Just thought I'd bring this one up front again in case anyone notices a gem in their vinyl while assembling stuff for the hub.

A girl can always hope . . .

I still need to reaquire their material, I sold all my 80's vinyl in the late 80's.

OK, a subject matter the world is not really aware of. This era of Seattle was so much superior to the "grunge" movement. Grunge is merely a byproduct of this era. X-15/Life In General, Napalm Beach are actually some of the world's greatest bands EVER.
