Their third album is out now, "Action/Adventure" and it's the kind of thing that seems like it would appeal to some folks here. Sweet but not too sweet indie pop, nice melodies. I don't have said new album yet, but I have heard a song off it, "Then", which I really like, and I recently acquired "TV Highway to the Stars" and am digging it.

My mate Ron was a big fan but I think at the time they were considered bandwagon jumpers - and Harley wasn't liked because of his ego and also sounded somewhat affected - that rrrr thing in the voice sounded awfully pose-y. There's an interview with Steve archived on www.rocksbackpages.com where he has a right old go at the NME who didn't like him one little bit - this was in the pre-punk era before the NME became the only paper that was worth reading. For those that care about these things - new Bevis Frond album out - haven't heard it yet but Bill at Minus Zero reckons it's another ace instalment following on from Valedictory Songs and What Did For The Dinosaurs. Also excellent new psych pop Pillbugs album.

I hadn't heard this song since Mork moved into Mindy's apartment, and to my "well-trained ears" it sounded like T Rex. If he is considered Glam, wasn't this song a little late by Glam's timetable? It was good to hear the song again, regardless. - --Mark S. ------------------------------ Date: Sun, 19 Sep 2004 18:07:07 -0400 (EDT) From: dmw Subject: [loud-fans] CDs for sale Our household has duplicate copies of quite a few perfectly good CDs and I'd like to find them new homes.

Nick's mid-70s band Sweeney Todd (also Bryan Adams' first band, though he joined after Nick left) was definitely considered glam and was one of the hottest bands in Canada in the mid-70s. They had a local hit ("Roxy Roller") in 1976 that Nick re-made for his first solo album. By the time of "Hot Child," glam had faded and Nick's high heels and glitter had too, but I agree that the sound pretty much remained in that style. His first solo album sounds more so than the one with "Hot Child," which has more of a late-70s feel to it. The cover of the first Sweeney Todd album (the only one with Nick) is very glam, indeed.
