ROB SEZ: From the mid-1980s to early 1990s, many alternative music fans in the Southeast believed Raleigh, N.C.'s the Connells might break through to wider recognition & success. When MTV started broadcasting the band's videos, when "Stone Cold Yesterday" became a U.S. alternative radio hit, and "'74-'75" became a Top 20 hit in England, I got my hopes up. Alas, it was not to be. Fun personal fact: my daughter's landlord is a member of the band. SINCERE THANKS to Don from the old ASH blog for sharing. Stay tuned for another, to be posted soon...

Boylan Heights is a stone classic.
ReplyDeleteAgreed! Made even more classic by Mitch Easter's production talents...
ReplyDeleteI always liked The Connells from their days of yore. Around ten years ago, on a visit to Raleigh, I took the (then) college age family members to see them, and they didn't disappoint. That they were nice guys was obvious from the audience.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting some live stuff. I expect it'll take me back! - Stinky
