Does anyone here remember the novelty New Wave band from Boston called The Fools? They had a few albums out on the EMI label back in the early to mid 80's that were quite good.I loved their remake of "I Won't Grow Up" and of course for those who remember and like the band,just about everyone remembers their most classic song of all their take on The Talking Heads "Psycho Killer" called Psycho Chicken,which is a laugh a riot for those who may have never heard the song before.They have a website and you can check it out by going here.

For those who have often wonder whatever happened to these guys like I did at first, you can now read up on what they are currently doing today,and if they are going to be playing in your area anytime soon.By the way are there any fans of The Fools here?
