I am trying to find the identity of a a music video and band from about 1986. Saw this video on 'Night Flight' - Two identical twin brothers, longish-blond hair, shirtless and sort of glam looking. A few colorful scarves. I recall it was filmed in the desert and lots of climbing around on sand dunes. But, unfortunately, I don't recall much more. I don't really remember the music, other than that at the time I wasn't so impressed by it. And NO, it isn't Gene Loves Jezebel. Anyone else remembr this? I probably wouldn't recall the name of the band if I heard it either.

I definately know the video you're referring to ExRat (I can picure it as well), but I'm not sure who it is either...

Yes it does sound like "Nelson" to me as well. I don't recall the desert video, but I remember these two blond, wimpy-looking guys from an episode of "Beavis & Butthead". The video is not the one you are looking for, but it is for a song called "Love &

No, it DEFINITELY wasn't Nelson. It was a rather New Waveish band.

A bit of a long shot, but...

Any chance the band is NASA? I remember they had a video with sand-dunes (I can't remember the song, sadly) and, looking at the band's photo on allmusic.com, they are Nelson-esque looking. A possibility I think.

The NASA video was "Shah Shah" from 1989.

NASA!!!!! That's it!!!! Just saw the photo you mentioned at allmusic.com. Thank you thefxc!!!!! That's been bugging me for years.
I'm not sure what the name of the song was, but it was definitley before 1989. Perhaps a single? Also don't know why I thoug

I do believe "Shah Shah" was their only video. AMG has audio samples of it...check and see if they sound familiar.

ExRat is right, the video was "Shah Shah." It got a few plays in the 120 Minutes/Night Flight axis when it was out. Didn't think much of the song, tho, if I remember correctly. [:D]
