One of several superb classic alternative albums that have been lost and are currently being held captive by a record company is Don’t Take My Coconuts by The Coconuts. In an effort to bring it back, Fans of The Coconuts are asking EMI to re-release the collection with a petition that you are invited to sign.
While I support this effort, I am not the person who initiated the petition. That honor goes to a gentleman named Mick Cooper.

This week’s guest on Revenge of the 80s is Holly Beth Vincent, who was the front-woman for Holly and the Italians. While the band was short-lived, Vincent has a very distinct place in music history as one of the rare women of punk/alternative music at the time. She, along with the likes of Nikki Corvette, Terri Nunn, Patty Donahue and Debbie Harry introduced a new breed of female leads who commanded attention and could turn it up to be as powerful as their male counterparts, yet with an illuminating femininity that captivated the alternative music world.
Holly Beth Vincent’s best-known tracks include “Tell That Girl to Shut Up,” her cover of “For What it’s Worth” and a recording of “I Got You Babe” with Joey Ramone.

Revenge of the 80s is happy to announce its new relationship with 103.9 Seymour FM in Seymour, Victoria, Australia. Seymour FM has an interesting story behind it, starting out as a low-powered community radio station on 87.6FM (part of the expanded band) covering the town and now earning more power and moving up to a stronger signal at 103.9FM.

This week’s Revenge of the 80s Radio podcast is up and available at the end of this post. After driving for several hours to and from my vacation spot last week, it was only natural to play some of the great driving songs of the 1980s on this week’s show. These tracks included songs about driving, cars, scenery and classic alternative music we like to blast on our CD player while at the wheel.
Artists featured in this weeks show include Men Without Hats, Voice of the Beehive, The Kings, Pearl Harbor and the Explosions and Nikki and the Corvettes. We also played new cuts from Josie Cotton, ABC and Stan Ridgway with Pietra Wexstun. <.p>[podcast]http://www.revengeofthe80sradio.com/wp-content/uploads/Rev091809h1.mp3[/podcast][podcast]http://www.revengeofthe80sradio.com/wp-content/uploads/Rev091809h2.mp3[/podcast]

Louise Robey will be in Parsippany, New Jersey on Halloween weekend to meet with fans and promote the recent releases of the Friday the 13th – The Series DVDs (the 3rd season is coming soon) at the Chiller Theatre Halloween Expo. She has also been in the studio with a new band, made a video for “Pure Love” and soon a box set anthology of her music will be available. This has been an incredibly busy year at the Robey/Shaffer household as her husband, the legendary photographer Stan Shaffer, has been working hard on his book: You Should Have Been With Me.

No commentsI am back from vacation and thank you for your patience while I had a bit of a rest over the past week and a half. The podcast for our 9/11/09 Revenge of the 80s Radio show is up and available at the bottom of this post.
This week’s show featured a re-broadcast of our interview with the legendary Nikki Corvette. This was her second appearance on the show; we talked about Gorevette, the new band she formed with Amy Gore of The Gore Gore Girls. Gorevette is currently working on their first full album and recently shot a video for one of their new singles.
More posts will follow and we will resume our regular pace as I catch up with everything post-vacation. Thank you for listening; we have some exciting news and some changes to this site coming your way soon.
