Originally from Niagra Falls Ontario Canada, hence the name, Honeymoon Suite formed in 1981. The band went through the various line up changes any knew band does, till lead guitarist Derry Grehan joined and became the bands main songwriter. Grehan wrote the song "New Girl Now" which the band submitted to and won an unsigned band competition by Q107 FM. The band was signed to a label and re-recorded "New Girl Now" for it's debut LP. The single reached #57 in the US and #23 in Canada. The band continued on for 3 albums before the split of the original line-up. Derry Grehan soldiered on till a reunion of the original line-up in 2007. The band was still active as of 2008 releasing the Clifton Hill CD. I got this one from Hear Rock City a while ago so thanks go out to them.

A nice sounding recording and a solid performance, from John Cafferty & Company at the peak of their success. I got this from Hear Rock City a while back so thanks go out to them. The Springsteen-esque sound of John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band was the perfect soundtrack to the story of Eddie and the Cruisers, a fictional band from Jersey that makes it big only to have it's lead vocalist disappear mysteriously. The band rode the success of the movie and soundtrack into the charts. More soundtrack work followed in Sylvester Stallone's Cobra and Rocky IV. Download this show that is full of all the bands hits  and a fine performance, too.

Our 4th and final post from Point Blank is another FM broadcast from the American Exce$$ Tour. This time the set list is a little different, the at the time single "Nichole" wasn't included in the broadcast but the short set is killer anyway.
