Night Time Is The Right Time

NIGHTMAN - NO ESCAPE (1981)

Instead of including my own notes,

here's an accurate  review made by a power pop fan on RYM

I read somewhere that this was Tommy Keene' s backing band at the very beginning of his career: indeed, these musicians backed Tommy Keene on his first solo album "Strange Alliance" which was recorded for Limp (Nightman's label) but ended up on Tommy Keene's own Avenue label.
Other than that, however, Nightman was a new wave power pop band in its own right and some of the songs on this rather elusive vinyl album are fairly good.
'Waiting' sounds a bit like Dwight Twilley while 'Headline' and 'Remember You' bear all the hallmarks of the new wave sound of the time (the very early 1980s).
One song the ska/reggae song 'Skanky' is terribly outdated and should have been put aside. Curiously, the best songs are found on the B side where 'Critical Line' and 'Working' are the catchiest numbers.

The Soundboard Case

PETER CASE - LIVE IN AUCH (1998)

A rare soundboard performance recorded in 1998 by a friend of mine. It had been put aside for 20 years, I only found the files a few days ago and decided to share it with the PPC readers. This is an acoustic concert for the promotion of "Full Service, No Waiting" (1997). It's also interesting to hear Peter Case covering the Flamin' Groovies tune "Yeah My Baby".
