Hey CP!
I wasn’t sure where to post but this thread seems appropriate. I used to post on here about my band Go For The Eyes and my one-off fundraiser boy band, The EmoTiona(L)s. In the last few years, GFTE has amicably parted ways (although a one-off reunion is certainly possible) and I’ve started my dream band. I always wanted to be in a band that channeled my fav bands like The Strokes, The Cars, Flock of Seagulls, The Cure, etc. Essentially 80’s New Wave and Power Pop. Ocasek’s passing hit me hard, as I have studied his “playbook” for years.
I am super lucky to be playing with some of my favourite dudes, who’ve played in Calgary bands (past and present) Bell Tower, Thomas Thomas, The Shagbots, Port Juvee and Jenny. This is my love letter to the 80’s. We are currently recording our first EP. here’s our first single, which I’ve been meaning to share on here for over a year. Hope you enjoy- this is betaboys:
