Greetings..First post here..Found this in my search for a Boston Area band from the late eighties called Breakfast in Bed. One EP and a full length. Same time as another band called the Sex Execs were around.. Had the vinyl, but it was lost in a move.

Would love to have some digital rips of either band..Thanx for a great forum..I am going to dig up some files to share

And for good measure..A little ska with the Untouchables as a first time offering

When you think of me, do you think of sex? Welcome to the board!

Somewhere down the road soon, I'm sure I'll be able to help you with Sex Execs' 8 released tracks. I don't own any of Breakfast in Bed's stuff, sorry.

P.S. It was early '80s. The Execs was splitsville by the end of 1984. I was heartbroken when they broke up.

Your right..I remember being in NYC on a week end trip to see some friends..found out the Execs were playing at Storyville the next night..Left at 3am..hit Boston around 9 am , crashed in the K Car and found a friend of a friend who lets shower and out we went to see them..then drove it back the same night..now that was a roadtrip..

They played at The Channel more than a few times, and I sure as hell didn't have to hop on board the sex train to get there. Mind you, I technically wasn't supposed to be in The Channel, but... I ran with an old crowd, looked old, and got snuck in a lot. The fake ID and bro being buds with one of the bartenders probably helped...

The Channel , I've been there many a time . Sure was a great place for live music. The Ramones show for one was great as I remember . Crazy crowd .

Tom, what part of Mass. are you in?

I moved to Boston right after it went new wave and left the year it got sold at auction*, so it was like we both closed those chapters of our lives together. It was certainly a nicer place to be than The Rat, that's for sure.

Am I mistaken or was there one day a week at The Channel where they did let in minors? On the weekends? I remember there was one club where there were certain days us kids were actually welcome, but maybe I'm mixing it up with another one.

*And it certainly wasn't much afterwards from what I understand.

I lived in Boston ( Dorchester ) up until the age of 12 then lived in Quincy after that . The Channel let in minors on Sunday afternoons . By the way , call me crazy but I liked The Rat . Had some good times there.

Ah, Dahchestah. Home to Sue Costello. If you managed to catch her sitcom that was on FOX for about 4 minutes in 1998, you'll know where I lived.

For me, The Channel was like the Morrissey song. "Everyday Is Like Sunday." I thought it was them.

Camera, I listened to the '83 Rock n Roll Rumble on the radio. I'd give anything for a tape of that. It's funny, because 'Til Tuesday were practically nonentities going into it. They were together, like, what, a week? The Execs had paid their dues, you know, but that's the breaks. People certainly took notice of TT after that. "Love in a Vacuum" was supposed to be _the_ hit, but fate (and Epic's bungled single release) had other plans.

Sweet! Now I don't have to do it.

Although I can provide this track right this moment. I bet Tom remembers it.
