...Thanks for the review of Macchu Picchu's EP! <br />I was the principle songwriter (as well as guitarist and keyboardist) in that band.<br />It's a shame there's not more audio documents of the band, as it was pretty unique, fitting firmly in the 80s techno pop puzzle, yet having all sorts of outside influences that made it not fit so snug when viewed closely. We tried to keep a balance between new wave sensibilities relevant at the time and a sincere artistic stance. <br />Julie was a fantastic vocalist and she became a fantastic doctor (where are they now?) who you may have seen as an on air expert on numerous news shows. <br />https://www.amazon.com/Julie-Holland-M.D./e/B002G5S71Q<br /><br />Bassist Lee Welch became a balladeer in Colonial Williamsburg Va.<br /><br />I continue to serve the muse. You can peruse a good sampling of my music on youtube...<br />https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRbVVRaLeliYuKpPIkh10OX3MX3fLX2zO<br /><br />Thanks again for this trip down memory lane and for the great blog!<br />Kudos!<br />Ben New<br /> Benjamin E.
