Never heard of them you feel me, but I did hang out with Rodney Bingenheimer once for three days.
He got all them guys started including Blondie.
Good documentary about him called 'The mayor of Sunset Strip.'
Rodney's English Disco basically started the modern LA scene. There's a curated playlist on Pandora called "South Bay LA" that plays the stuff that made KROQ a legendary radio station, which Bingenheimer also played a large role in.
There's even a great remix of 'Mirror In the Bathroom' that was popular in the area at the time. The 80's in LA were something else
Yeah, I think I barely missed them. I saw Rodney on Tom Snyder and was going to LA at the time so I tracked him down at the Denny's where he hung out and pestered him for a few days, went to his club, it was all new stuff to me. Nice guy. Didn't know till later who he really was and what all was going on.
