So, I went to Boston again and saw another legendary band...this time the Nightingales, a 1980s post-punk outfit led by the mighty Robert Lloyd.Here's a bit from the show review up today in PopMatters:"Not everyone has heard of Nightingales, but the people who have tend to be fans...rabid fans. Founded in the early ‘80s out of the ashes of the Prefects (another band that shoulda, coulda, woulda, but mostly didn’t), the Nightingales made four remarkable albums in the decade of greed: Pigs on Purpose in 1982, Hysterics in 1983, Just the Job in 1984, and In a Good Old Country Way in 1986. Frontman Robert Lloyd had a more or less standing invitation to record with John Peel anytime he had a handful of new songs, and there was a period when the Nightingales (and other Lloyd projects) had been on the legendary BBC show more times than anyone except Kevin Coyne. (Both were subsequently lapped by the indefatigable Mark E. Smith.) It was after one of these sessions that Peel said, 'The Nightingales turned in a performance of the type that will serve to confirm their excellence when other infinitely better known bands stand revealed as Charlatans.'"
