The Nads - You Don't Know Me FLAC

more info from archived online info :

The Nads were also a four piece band from Providence, RI, who toured and recorded extensively from 1978-1980. The four members were:

Larry Brown - Rhythm Guitar, Lead Vocals
Bob Kropp - Lead Guitar
Shane Williams - Bass
Rick Zeigler - Drums

The band formed in 1978, and played many venues in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York. They made appearances at the notorious new waves haunts of the era, including CBGB's in NYC, The Rat in Boston, and Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence. They also opened for many national acts in these venues, including an opening slot for U2 in Providence on their second US tour. The Nads also opened for Squeeze, Mink DeVille, and gigged regularly with some other well known band from that era, like the Neighborhoods, Robin Lane and The Chartbusters, The Schemers and Human Sexual Response. They only released one single (in 1980), but a compilation from several different recording sessions has been put together. Glenn Tilbrook from Squeeze became a friend and fan, and had even agreed to produce their follow up record, but the band broke up before that came about.

The forementioned single was a 3 track EP, featuring You Don't Know Me, The Hurts Gone, and Blame It On The Priests. Amplifier magazine cited the single as one of the top 10 "key power pop singles of Boston/Providence area during the first wave" (citing The Hurts Gone as the authors personal fave of the record), and Sound Asleep Records in Sweden placed You Don't Know Me on their Home Runs Vol. 2 compilation CD of the Best of American Power Pop. The single was initially issued with a free Nads pin/badge
