La Retour de La Rive Gauche

So power pop deities The Left Banke have a sort of new album out called Strangers on a Train, and here's the title song.

Haven't heard much more of it, but so far so good. I'll keep you posted.

In the meantime, from the late 80s or early 90s, please enjoy The Souvenirs -- aka The Floor Models 2.0 featuring some schmuck whose name rhymes with Sleeve Nimels on keyboards -- live at the late lamented Kenny's Castaways doing the Banke's great "She May Call You Up Tonight."

Shot by a fan with a camcorder, and turn it up!!!

    I Love the Left Banke, but this song is just okay. The chorus vocals seem a strain. Hope the rest is better. Sorry, Steve.

    Reminds me of The Raspberries.

    Strangers on a Train (also known as Voices Calling) is the third and final studio album by American baroque pop band the Left Banke and was released in March 1986

    And was actually recorded much earlier, in the late seventies.
