One of the most unique bands to emerge out of the initial Post-Punk melee, this video catches The Associates in New Romantic mode, but Billy Mackenzie's voice is one for the ages no matter what the context. Everything you could ever want from this band is coming soon...
Thank You. I saw The Associates live ('85 tour with The Cure) at Milan.
ReplyDeletesurf60, sounds like it was a great show, The Associates toured with The Cure several times, including in 1979.
ReplyDeleteNever bettered...luuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurv Billy. For some fantastic rareties go to Whippet at the Wheel and while away a few hours on greatness.
ReplyDeleteThanks again

ReplyDeletescurfie, you might want to check out the early stuff when I post it. It's much more post-punk than the song in the video
