Might as well get my annual token "new romantic" post out of the way for 2012. Truth be told, I don't know the first thing about
Polo (the band or the game). I purchased this record in a bundle on Ebay sometime ago. Really liked the sleeve, but anyway. In case anyone is wondering what type of music I cut my teeth on back in the early '80s, this record is fairly representative. Polo were an androgynous as all-get-out bunch of guys with hair teased to the heavens, and would've slotted in just fine with Duran, ABC, Living in a Box, and lesser knows like
Tictoc. Thoroughly competent if anything else. Oddly enough, "We Can Work It Out" isn't the Beatles tune. Go figure. A fanclub address on the back sleeve indicates that they were products of Claremont, CA, or thereabouts. Enjoy, and comment as you see fit.

That record features the teen Josh Freese, aka drummer for Devo, the Vandals, Nine Inch Nails, etc. I used to have a copy and dearly wish I did now!

ReplyDeleteThis band performed at Disneyland back in the mid 80's at the Tomorrowland Terrace and Videopolis. They did have a good following locally. I have this album still sealed. I guess I was hoping that they were going to make it big one day. At least Josh Freese did. My friend and I were able to secure an interview with the band for a school project. Somewhere in a box I have it all packed up complete with VHS.
