The 1980 Listening Post - Nightwing - Something in the Air

Nightwing - Something in the Air


#214
1980 Housekeeping
Nightwing
Something in the air
Genre: Metasstical
2 out of 5

Requisite 80s cover: a really confoundingly bizarre cover of The Supremes’ “You Keep Me Hanging On”. Done as a late 60s psychedelic head trip there should have been someone to say…guys…no. 
Paging Spinal Tap. 
Take everything you hate about 80s metal, a vocalist who aspire to be Did, pounding drums, ear splitting guitars and…an organ? An organ?? This isn’t Deep Purple. It’s like Purple Witch. Kenny Newton is no Jon Lord. 
Wait! There’s a FLUTE in “Edge of a Knife”!?!?!? 
Attention Jethro Tull fans. Did you know about this?!?! In 1980 this might be the best Tull has sounded. Cuz, it’s not Tull. See what I did there?




I’m glad it’s over. I’m also glad I never have to hear it again.
