Noch eine Band, die ich vergessen hatte - waren Indie damals - hab ich gehört bevor sie einen Chart Erfolg hatten, gute Jungs, nette Sounds - hoffe man mag die Musik - wer kennt sie noch? - Gründung 1980, wurden bekannt 1985 im Rahmen des Live Aid Konzerts
Now on with The Hooters
They started when I heard them as so called "independent" band - i did not understand what that means - thought someting negative :-) - but probably was because they had no major lable contract or so. The music was cool - not my typical style but i enjoyed their songs before and when they became famous and had charts success. Band was founded in 1980, the breakthrough globally happened as of their performance during the Live Aid concert in Philadelphia (watch Chevy Chase):
Some more background about The Hooters
They started in their home town Philadelphia with a style combining Folk Rock and Rock including Reggae and Ska elements - mainly playing local clubs. After a frist split, they started again 1985 and their appearance at Live Aid in their home town made a mark to financiall success - the became mainstream - became known internationally - split (the usual madness) had a comeback but still are kind of active with different teams if i may say so.
The original founders Eric Bazilian und Rob Hyman still tour Europe and more - they often call themselves not "The Hooters" anymore but "Eric Bazilian & Rob Hyman of The Hooters" -strange but what can I say. The music stayed, they are still pretty cool and active. Interestingly they had more success across Europe since the 1990ies when success in the US declined a bit.
Apart from the tracks above I love the following mainly:
