ABQ MTV: From the '80s
Things in Light is pleased to present the sixth installment of ABQ MTV.
► First up, check out the funky sorta art rock-slash-new wave sound of Taos-based band The Refrigerators, performing "Dawn Patrol" in 1981.
► Second, indulge in the prog-funk stylings of The Wet Sox, performing "DDD & E" in 1981, as well.
► Third, here's a short film by Alan Swain called Kitchen Parties. It introduces the viewer to authentic Burque '80s house party culture via documentary footage and Albuquerque streetscapes — including one scene that features the notoriously greasy Vip's Big Boy. Soundtrack by Jerry's Kidz.
►The final entry in this installment isn't technically a music video, but es lo más chingón, so we had to we had include it — Treadmill's cover of Peter Gabriel's "Shock the Monkey."
Holy crap. Haven't thought about these bands in years....thanks for the share.
