Doncha just love serendipity.
Earlier in the week I caught a brief glimpse of Transvision Vamp on TV. I’d forgotten how much I liked Transvision Vamp so I decided it was about time to buy some of their stuff on CD. As it happens they released a compilation album called Baby I Don’t Care last year, so I ordered that.
As I am fundamentally incapable of buying one CD I looked for a couple of CDs in the same vein to go with it. After a brief search I found two other compilations by bouncy 80s girl-singer bands – The Best of Voice of the Beehive and Destiny – The Hits by Altered Images.
Whilst I’m very much enjoying the Transvision Vamp and Altered Images, the Voice of the Beehive CD is a bloody revelation. I’d completely forgotten what a brilliant band they were. I know and love just about every song and it’s like it’s 1989 all over again.
A quick Google search reveals their official website and it looks like they’re planning a reunion tour. They are playing the Hammersmith Odeon (or whatever it’s called these days) in December, togther with the Wonder Stuff.
Anyone up for a night of nostalgia?
