They had a local "hit" called "it's You I Love" that got played on radio stations around town. I saw their record in the "local music" bins at stores around town but for whatever reason, I never pulled the trigger. I liked that one song good enough that for years, decades really, I had the chorus regularly pop up in my brain for no apparent reason. It's the only song I remembered and I didn't even remember the verses. Point is I had not actually heard them since sometime in the 80's.
A couple of weeks ago I was clicking through this thing call "Bandcamp" (Maybe some of you have heard of it!) and I stumbled across the Berlin Airlift album. It was available for whatever price I wanted to pay, so I figured, what the hell. I paid $5 for it as I knew I liked that one song anyway.
I hate it. I don't even like the song that I kind of remembered. It's like theatrical-light-pop-rock that isn't very interesting at all. Yuck. Now I jut need to get that chorus out of my brain forever.
Anyone else have a similar experience?

I see they announced a DC gig coming up soon. They've actually announced dozens of gigs coming up soon. Planning on going?

I'm going to see them at some fairground in upstate NY in early September, and they just announced an Irving Plaza show for the end of September. You should come - I'll treat you to a Sbarro slice.

Can't find the pre-sale code for the NYC show. It is not CTLIVE, as suggested on their website.

They are as good as they've ever been!
