Paul Andrews

I was created in Denver in 1968. I’ve lived the majority of my entire life in the Denver metro/Boulder corridor. My early like of music was formed by my parents little, but assorted record collection. That they had a small amount of everything. The items I recall most, but still listen to had been the Beatles, Brazil 66, Dave Brubeck, and my fathers understanding of Mozart. I had been also pressured to endure my mother’s like of folk, which includes scarred me forever. The majority of my early existence was spent hearing Denver’s oldies train station, KRZN 1150 AM. It had been there I came across my like from the English invasion. However in 1978, we got wire. Late nights upon this question was a display called Night Trip, with the best broadcast voice I’ve have you ever heard, Pat Prescott. It had been on Night Air travel that I initial noticed a video for the band in that which was getting known as the ‘brand-new influx.’ That music group was the (British) Beat. With this discovery, the brand new ska revival was laid open up. It has been ‘my music’ since. Also in the first 80’s I noticed the film Quadrophenia for the very first time. Cliche today, it presented me towards the Mod design that went together with ska. I might be the just 9th grader to willingly use a fit to college. I also became quite used by the number of other ‘brand-new wave’ sound specifically the synth powered pop. Although I acknowledge the real insufficient substance in lots of of those rings (Duran Duran, Flock of Seagulls) I usually defend them, to be just great entertainment. Still are. Therefore there I am, trapped in the 80’s in everything but ska, as well as the 60’s noises I still appreciate. Pathetic, actually.
