OFF BROADWAY - ON LP 79 w Quick Turns LP 80 w Bad Indication boot/ demo's CD


REPOST Request:  Takes me back to fourth grade rollerskating rink days with bands like the Hawks, PEZBAND, the Kind, the Sweet or the Rollers, etc. but I got recommended this band by a collector at our local show who said their song, "Full Moon Turn My Head Around" is the perfect song in every way and indeed we have a few versions here to choose from.  AKA the Thumbs.

Per Discogs:  Off Broadway is an American rock band founded by Paul Darrow, Cliff Johnson, Paul McDermott, John Pazdan and Dan Santercola in 1977 in Oak Park, Illinois. After several line-up changes including the addition of songwriter/guitarist John Ivan and Robert Harding, the band's debut album ON was released by Atlantic Records in 1979. The album reached No. 101 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the single "Stay in Time", which reached No. 51 on the Billboard Hot 100 record charts. Off Broadway released a follow-up album, QUICK TURNS, on Atlantic Records in 1980 and continued touring for three years before breaking up in 1983. Along the way, they became colleagues with Cheap Trick.

The band is currently composed of original album performers John Ivan, Cliff Johnson, John Pazdan, Ken Harck, and Rob Harding. They are currently performing around Chicago in preparation of celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut "ON".

"Stay in Time" is the song I remember by them (and the one that seems to turn up on power-pop compilation cd's). I don't think I've heard any of their other songs, so I'm downloading these! I love that one song, so I'm sure that I'll like the rest!
