476.0. "Escape Club, The" by CAVLRY::ROBR (I'm Brian and so's my wife!) Sun Feb 17 1991 07:35

    
    I just heard The Escape Club on MTV tonight (switching channels back
    and forth between Stripes and Barbarella) and I thought these guys were
    pretty cool!  The song was called somet hing like "THey Call It
    Poison".  It was like metal crossed with dance music.  I think I may
    check out this album.  Hope the rest of it is similar.

    	The Escape Club is AWESOME!
476.3Wild, Wild WestJUNO::EMARTINHey, hey, it's todayMon Feb 18 1991 17:5313
    If this is the same Escape Club that I know - they've been going for a 
    few years in the UK.  Did a few support tours, released a couple of
    albums but didn't get anywhere.  They decided to go to the USA and 
    record their 3rd album which is due out shortly I think.
    
    I wouldn't call their music heavy (unless they changed their style a
    lot!!) but definitely more rock then pop.
    
    If anyone knows more about them, please post a note 'cos I'd love to 
    know how they're doin'.
    
    Cheers,
    Emma

476.7CAVLRY::ROBRTurn this mutha out!Mon Feb 18 1991 19:3716
    
    
    Um, re: Wild Wild West
    
    Let's see... Kool Mo D did the first WWW (or however he spells his
    name) then there was the one about 'dance to the beat that we like
    best, living for the something, living for the wild wild west'
    
    is that the one?  escape club rings a bell..
    
    sorry you're disappointed pril, but thats the type of music i listen to
    most :').  the song was really cool, and it was much heavier than alot
    of the other metal stuff in here.  I'll have to hear it again when im a
    bit more sober :')
    
    
476.8WLDKAT::GALLUPa much better dancer than standerTue Feb 19 1991 14:2214
    
    
    The Escape Club is cool.  They do have a funky-metalish sound to them.
    I've got the album with Wild, Wild West at home, plus I have a tape
    lying around of some of their earlier stuff (it's probably with that
    Pere Ubu album that I was hunting for the other night!)
    
    When I go dancing, I like something funky but different that I can
    dance to.......they fit the bill....I didn't know they had anything new
    out,though!  I'll check it out!

    	re: Rob
    
    	Not the one by Kool Moe D but the other one you mentioned....
    	Dezyne used to play it so I'm pretty sure it's by The Escape Club.	
    	Good tune.

    	I heard "You Call It Poison" during the MTV "Beach Bash" or
    	WhateverTF it was ... good song.  I liked "Wild Wild West",
    	but this one's much more rock oriented.

      Hey GTI, do you know if that's a single or not?  I heard from the 
      record company over here in the UK they were due to release an album 
      soon but haven't heard of anything :-(  

      Thanks,  
      Emma

    	Not sure.  All I heard was the song, and no info on it.
