Wow finally found your blog, great stuff here thanks. I also dug the band called the Upbeats from the early GA scene, they used to open for REM and had a song about Jello Shots!
ReplyDeleteGlad you found us!
DeleteI dig your blog, man. Thanks for the nice comment...
Sir,
DeleteI was one of the drummers of an earlier The Upbeats LP recording "Beat City" in 1985. Feel free to reach out for me at:

Pretty sure #5 is "Festival" a track from their first record, and #15 is "Tropical", also from the first record
