It makes me so happy to know that there are still tons of TFF fans out there! I haven't stopped listening to their new tracks now for weeks! I've never seen them live, hopefully I'll have a chance soon. And it's always nice to see a band tour for a record

I saw them perform in San Francisco at the Cow Palace in 1990 - they showcased Oleta Adams - Cool begining to a concert - Woman in Chains. Unfortunately it was a lame concert but probably not their fault. No one got involved until Shout and Everybody wa

you all are making me so jelous!
I want to see them live sooo bad. Roland's voice just gives me chills, it is so good. I can only imagine what it must sound like in a live setting. Please let them tour for this new record! [:D]

I didn;t notice anyone ever mention the pre-TFF group The Graduate, with Roland and Curt. Although not sounding like TFF, clearly the vocals, particluarly Roland, are evident on their very very good early Costello-Ska influenced work. This is actually on

I've heard from some folks that the new TFF sucked, but by the strength of this tune, "Closest Thing To Heaven", I'm quite excited by the release.....

...and the Graduate are a really cool mod band! The first CD issue contained only the original album

I have the one with the bonus tracks - actually, I think it contains everything that was on the 12" LP as opposed to the 10" LP.

Great T4F News!
I have fond memories of their FINAL US performance of their summer 1990 (subsequent farewell) Tour at Jones Beach. They were FABULOUS! Oleta Adams was a perfect compliment to their joyful and exuberant stage presence. These guys never let

Yeah...I have to say that I've heard very little stuff from The Graduate. I heard the "Elvis Should Play Ska" Track and thought that was pretty cool!
I may have mentioned this before, but if you are a big TFF fan, you really should sign up for this TFF

I definitely will! If the new tracks are any indication, then I'd be shocked if I didn't love the new record. I've listened to those tracks a ton of times. I can't get enough of it! [:D]

Yeah, give it a shot...maybe it'll grow on you. I love "Closest Thing to Heaven". They have incredible production (always have), so many amazing sounds locked in there. Definitely is headphones material.
