From today’s Salt Lake Tribune :
What, no Reflex? Rarely will you hear me sing the praises of an ’80s-focused package tour, but the one happening down Utah County way this weekend is one I can get on board with. You have your ABC, one of the suavest bands of the British blue-eyed soul movement, boasting hits like “Poison Arrow” and “Be Near Me,” a song I still love a good 20 years after it charted. You have English Beat, which is essentially singer/guitarist Dave Wakeling and whatever crew of guys he takes on the road, delivering a relentlessly catchy set of rock and ska. And you have Naked Eyes, a one-hit wonder who happened to have two hits (“Always Something There to Remind Me” and “Promises, Promises”). Taken together, that’s one serious blast from the past going down at Springville’s Acres Park on Saturday at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 at Smith’s Tix outlets and the venue.
Some lucky reader with good taste is going to thank me.
