BLUE NUN

 

Let pretend everything is cool. Lets pretend the world isn't crumbling before our very eyes. Let's pretend it's along weekend and we are in a convertible with the top down and it's a sunny afternoon. For just six short songs, let's pretend that it's 1983 and the only thing we're really scared of is the abstract fear of a nuclear war instead of the very real threat of a civil one. BLUE NUN? They are the band playing on that late summer day when everything is just fine and life is good. They are (or were?) a power pop band from SF and they sound like their cover art looks. They're like the one song on the Footloose soundtrack that still holds up almost 40 years later...which is a trick analogy because that whole soundtrack slaps.

Always good to see yesteryear East Bay punk and such posted on here, or any Very Small Records scene adjacent projects. Of course any of your posts are always a good start to researching/going down infinite rabbit holes online.

On a side note, not sure if you posted about Scott Alcoholocaust passing away this summer. I remember seeing an interview with him in Probe zine and thinking what a cool guy. He even still stayed on booking shows since the 90s in your city, even during times most would have given up.
