Back in the late seventies the integrated circuit found its way into the music biz and begat synthesizers which brought a "new wave" of music to flush out the tried and tired. At the same time, the long hair and blue-jeans of the 70's gave way to spiky clipper-cuts, shiny Rayon shirts, skinny ties, big-block "Frankie says..." t-shirts and day-glo pink, green and yellow stretchies of the 80's - which were perfect for rock fans who wanted to dance again. It was a weird time for  music and fashion, eventually giving way to a backlash of Grunge and guitars in the 90's.  But in pop culture everything old is new again and New Wave is no exception.  Which brings me to our latest band link submission in the newly created Synth Pop / New Wave category; the music of Love Meets Lust  perfectly recaptures the vibe of 1980's New Wave.  If you dig the selections of XM's "Fred" station (44) you're going to dig Love Meets Lust.  But better than satellite radio, you can go see Love Meets Lust live and local at The Bellmont in Hamtramck on Sunday, March 16th with Malbec from Los Angeles, CA.
