(My then-girlfriend was giving me crap about not listening to boring hard-rock groups -- "Mott the Hoople" comes to mind.) AAR, I loved this record, possibly because it was stylistically different from anything I'd ever heard. ... And I've been collecting girl bands ever since.Clarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624758978314888826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-57991494132296246962020-07-12T00:18:11.061-07:002020-07-12T00:18:11.061-07:00Can I get a re-up?

The video for it made the rounds on MTV's "120 Minutes", so it's probably the one release that put them on the radars of most people who've ever heard of them and aren't from Massachusetts.SMcCandlishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01412237280228550043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-62540027119294827562016-02-18T06:15:31.648-08:002016-02-18T06:15:31.648-08:00First heard this band on an overnight CBC Radio pr...First heard this band on an overnight CBC Radio program called 'Brave New Waves' back in the late 80s.

Unfortuntately changes and variations in my life usually take a turn for the worse - all the better to have good music to fall back on. Salem 66 had a certain mystique to them.

The more attention you can give to a band that for some could become one of their all-time favorites the better.<br /><br />Salem 66 DID indeed get a lot of press in the Boston area, often focused on their being an "all-girl" band (later they added at a female singer).<br /><br />At the time their intense image put me off a little and my guess is that if I had heard them back then, I probably would not have cared much for it ("too weird").<br /><br />Fast forward to about five years when clued in by a book -- pretty sure it was "Lost In The Grooves" -- I searched the Internet and found the "Across The Sea" 45 somewhere (maybe the Little Hits blog).<br /><br />I was stunned. There was something relentless and disturbing and seemingly deep about this song that kept me listening to it over and over. A year or so later some real tragedy landed on my family, and I adapted the song to fit that situation (key lyric the singer's unconvincing proclamation that "I'm not afraid of living on my own now."<br /><br />Here in the Boston area I have been able to pick up a few of their LP's on vinyl. Nothing as great as that for me, but all of it interesting. I never could find this out of print compilation.<br /><br />So, thanks again. <br /><br />Is it true that the two singers have never released another recording since the end of Salem 66?<br /><br />Check it out folks, this could be your new favorite cult band.<br /><br />Ace K.bglobe313https://www.blogger.com/profile/00308428545934319473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6776777782419637264.post-84229890439820598162012-04-07T10:09:09.974-07:002012-04-07T10:09:09.974-07:00I am a big fan of what Homestead did.

I think a bandmember or relative of one of the bandmembers ran a booking agency near Boston. They did have a few really good songs.slovenlyerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10347625092649280646noreply@blogger.com
