In Portland Friday I saw a band called Catholic Comb . I had a full '80s flashback to highschool when watching them. The lead singer looked like a Dogs in Space era Michael Hutchence. And musically they were somewhere between Gene Loves Jezebel, The Dream Academy and The Chameleons. Kinda pretentious '80s UK alternative rock with a dark or goth edge to it. Totally not what I'm into, although I used to see bands like this all the time in the mid-'80s. But they were great at what they do.
Ooh, I do like this very much I can't decide if they sound like the Cure being cheerful & folky, or the Smiths feeling slow & miserable - either's good. Reckon they listen to a lot of British bands though, despite coming from sunny California. Mind you, this gets fairly cheerful towards the end : " I go out at night, i eat what I like, i sleep where i might; vampire life "... does seem tempting eh. ♫ Vampire Life - The Catholic Comb 7" vinyl single b/w The [...]
