Last night, Tiffany and I went to “Feast with the Beasts”, the Houston Zoo’s annual fundraiser. The special musical guest was the Spin Doctors, her favorite band from back in the day. That would be circa 1990, when the music was starting to sound like something other than 80s power pop, but the videos still looked the same:
My apologies if this begins with an ad; it’s worth it to stick through it. If you watch this video, you’ll see they also employ the other major 80s style, which is a pseudo-narrative done in black and white. The classics never truly go out of style. In case you’re wondering, by the way, they sounded pretty good, and we had a fine time listening to them.
The bass player from that band lives in Houston and, I think, still teaches at Rockin’ Robin.
Hi from the Houston Zoo! Happened to see your post and we’re glad you came and enjoyed the band too. And Jeff is right, Mark , the bassist is a local! 🙂
