[1980]
More barely hits and memories gold. Five Letter Word was the only Numbers tune to crack the national top 40.
Annalisse Morrow had the hair, clothes and attitude. Our nonchalant bass playin power pop princess shoulda been a national icon.
The Numbers were on the Deluxe Records label along with INXS, The Dugites and Toy Love.
Sorta effortless, pretty minimal and seemingly simple. Kinda cool and kinda naff.
There was a band that used to cover this song in their set in Mildura in the late eighties. They were pretty good--a three-piece band called, "Cars to Guitars". Later, they changed their name to "Love Buzzards".
ReplyDeleteWhere did they play?
ReplyDeleteThe place I first saw them was at "The Carlyle Club" I think it was called--a basement level dive on Langtree avenue. Also at The Bridge Hotel where they won a competition to support a big name act (I can't remember who), the Settlers Club and Mildura TAFE! They had some pretty decent originals too. Their music had a spacious sound which exemplified eighties indie rock of the time.
