Here is another 805 freebie as promised. I was in this band from 1978 - 1986. We were signed to RCA records in 1981 and released our first album in 1982. 805 was a popular bar band in New York State during this time. The album did chart on Billboard along with Men at Work, Missing Persons, Eddie Money etc. We peaked at #33 I think and then tanked:).. oh well.
This track was recorded for Stand in Line but was cut from the final release. I forgot why. It is the only song that our bass player Greg Liss sang, he also composed the lyrics. The music track was composed by Ed Vivenzio’. If you think this sounds a little dated, well you’re correct. It was fine by 1981 standards. This for the die hards still out there.
Side note for drummers.. I was using a roto tom / acoustic drumset at the time. Roto Toms don’t go BOOM... I was a big Bruford/Bozzio fan and it seemed like a good idea at the time. The band was Edward Vivenzio (keys), Greg Liss (bass) Dave Porter (guitar & vocals) and myself. on the weirdness you see above.. this is for the 805 fans.. enjoy
