Sometimes a subject for Sunday Evening Video just appears in some kind of kismet.
Six days ago your humble blogger and his wife were in Chicago, at The House of Blues, to see Thompson Twins Tom Bailey (with Thomas Dolby opening) as an early anniversary trip. It was just about a month shy of the tenth anniversary of Mel and I sneaking off to Chicago to get married. We went early so we could see this show, and another at Steppenwolf, and also so that we wouldn’t be travelling into the Windy City in the immediate aftermath of the Democratic National Convention (when hotel rooms are still sky-high).
So with the music of the Thompson Twins still fresh in my mind, yesterday I got an email from Sydney Fileen, telling me that the next episode of Sydney’s Big Electric Cat (dropping sometime in the next two weeks on The AIR) will focus on The Thompson Twins’ early 80s music.
And with a different video surprise up my sleeve for next week, I thought that this might be a good time to present the 1984 concert/documentary film, Into The Gap, starring my wife’s favorite New Wave band.
