I first became aware of the Sinceros as Lene Lovich's backup band on her premiere album Stateless. This was around the time their second album Pet Rock was released, and it became one of my favorite album's of the early Eighties. It featured the wonderful song "Memory Lane" and the haunting gem "Disappearing" All in all, one of the most overlooked bands of all time, a group well worth remembering. Currently out of print, with a small but growing internet fanbase of bloggers willing to spread the word. Till there is a real release (after all, Elton Motello, The Dancing Cigarettes, Holly and the Italians, and other hard to find bands are finding new life in CD release and mp3 downloads at iTunes and Amazon, so surely there's hope) here is a video and a link to "Memory Lane". The YouTube Video below is a performance of their first single "Take me to Your Leader" from the album The Sound of Sunbathing. Enjoy! And help keep the music alive.
One of the best Sinceros tracks, lead vocals in this case attributed to Don Snow, later keyboardist for Squeeze, most recently performing as Jonn Savannah (Links expired, working on getting new ones. NOTE: Last.FM now has 4 Sinceros tracks available!
