I’ve wondered about this band forever!! It’s the mystery band on the Streets of Fire soundtrack (one of my very favourites). As I suspected, Fire, Inc is a Steinman creation, whose real name is Pandora’s Box. Yay Wikipedia!! The lead singer, who totally rocks the huzzah, is Laurie Sargent – whose name sounded very familiar. Well, here’s why! I’ve got this Face to Face LP (that would be vinyl record for you youngsters)! I had no idea she could sing like she does on the SoF soundtrack. Awesome!
So, I got completely distracted by Laurie Sargent and her band Face to Face…I’d love to get the record from Amazon (no DRM) but sadly, Amazon’s interface is frelled and I’m over it. Off to LimeWire! FUCK YOU AMAZON!
From reading the Amazon comments, I’ve discovered that F2F made 3 records and Laurie has a solo career, too. She still plays around the Boston area. Shweet!
I guess I should, uh, maybe work or something today… ::scampers off to be productive::
I love the music from that movie. I spent quite a lot of time tracking down the songs off of Napster years ago. I know I still have some on file in random music disc somewhere, but I have’nt listened to “tonight is what it means to be young” in some time… might have to find that disc.
and of course it was steinman… who else ever wrote like that.
