The 1981 Listening Post - DVC - DVC

 DVC - DVC



#741

1981 Housekeeping

DVC

DVC

Genre: Glam Boogie Rock

4.25 out of 5



Highlights:

Let Me Be Your Fantasy

Goosebumps

Turning

Terrified





Requisite 80s cover: Deep Purple’s “Teaser”.  Motley Crue would cover this Deep Purple tune but I like this one just as much, tho the production is terrible. 



Tommy (Deep Purple) Bolin’s younger brother, John, plays drums and so he started a band. Tommy only played with DP for a year but that was enough clout to help little bro get a record deal. 

John would eventually team up with his brother, I guess. He’s been pounding the skins for a while out there. 

I don’t know that the band wrote their own stuff, the credits don’t seem to imply that, but, for boogie rock, this occasionally slaps. 

Remember how much I adored discovering Shooting Star? This reminds me of that.
