Still Miss You


Still Miss You

I was reacquainting myself with the power pop and new wave stuff being played on the radio just before I had to give it up and focus on my studies. I have a better ear for the musicianship now. The best were the Sinceros, followed by the Headboys, IMHO. Both bands are mostly forgotten today. The Sinceros had 2 albums, the Headboys only one. All the musicians played beautifully, with Ron Francois, the Sinceros' bass player, being a favourite. As far as I can tell from the internet, all moved on to session work, except for the Sinceros' lead singer, who has passed on. Check out the Sinceros' songs Take Me to Your Leader, Worlds Apart, Little White Lie, I Still Miss You... Headboys' Shape of Things to Come, Experiments...
