805

[link to some of their recent live stuff] Sorry I never saw these guys during my formative years back in the 80s.  But one of my bandmates was then into them and I would occasionally hear them and about them on album rock radio, since they were relatively local.  Looks like they have been active in recent years. This 80s proggy sound is so "of its time". The first of these songs in in 7.  Takes some skill to pull that off but in many ways it limits the narrative ability of the song, in my opinion. All 7/4 rock songs kind of say the same thing to me.  Still, when you hear it with the synth heavy treatment like it is here, it can only be from that time. And it's a sound I'm a bit nostalgic about...
