REPERCUSSION: I know of no direct connection
between The dB’s and The Plimsouls. But if you’re looking for
an approximate West Coast equivalent to The dB’s, you don’t have to look much
further than The Plimsouls — whose music and talent deserve the kind of
superlatives I’ve lavished upon The deeBs.
BIG-TIME THANKS to "plimsouls" and TheCommish for sharing this one!
The
Plimsouls’ 1984 tour was a reunion after band leader Peter Case left in 1983 to pursue a solo career.
Case has said the 1984 tour was prompted mainly by the need to pay back taxes. As you’ll hear, though, The Plimsouls nonetheless played with their usual energy and
gusto.

ReplyDeleteYou're welcome, Tim. I'll take that as a vote for The Plimsouls to stay on my list!
DeleteRob, - Here's your connection - they're appearing on a site devoted to the dB's by possibly the dB's biggest fan!. Close enough for me when it's The Plimsouls! Very cool post!
ReplyDeleteNever thought of it that way, Oxy...
DeleteThanks for the thanks!
Thanks for posting this. It seems kind of uninspired compared to their 80-83 shows. I guess the description of what happened explains it all. If you have any other plimsouls gigs post away. They seem hard to come by.
ReplyDeleteHello Max - Yes, it's not the greatest show, but still entertaining, to my ears.
DeleteI will take your request into account with upcoming posts, as I do have some more Plimsouls rarities worth sharing. Check back here in a month or so...
