* Feelies song/cover

** Yung Wu song/cover  

Note from sharer: This "show" was performed shortly after The Feelies split up and Glenn Mercer and Dave Weckerman were just starting to put together Wake Ooloo. Russel Gambino, a future member of Wake Ooloo, performs here with Glenn and Dave on a number of Feelies, Yung Wu and various cover songs. No WO songs here, perhaps because none was written yet.

Winter Hours - Soundcloud Rarities Collection

Soundcloud Rarities (live + studio recordings)

various venues, dates, sources

collected & shared by Michael Carlucci, R.I.P.

sound quality rage: VG to VG++ (soundboard, FM & audience recordings)

  

Michael Carlucci (R.I.P. — far right) was songwriter & guitarist for Winter Hours

ROB SEZ: Blog friends brought news that Winter Hours' songwriter and guitarist Michael Carlucci recently died unexpectedly from heart failure. (Winter Hours is yet another 1980s band that made quality guitar rock & pop that went largely unheard.) Before his death, Michael uploaded a nice set of rarities and live tracks to Soundcloud. To that collection I've added two tracks from what may have been one of Michael's last public performances, an acoustic show from March 2015 with other New Jersey indie music luminaries, including two members of The Feelies.
