247.0. "'In your Neigbourhood'" by IOSG::BARTLETT () Thu Oct 20 1988 11:48

    Does anybody out there in TV-land know about a group called the
    Neigbourhood? I woke up in the middle of Night Network a couple
    of weeks back and heard a trak of their debut album which sounded
    prety interesting, but so far I have been totaly unable to find
    out anything about the group or album. 
    
    Iv'e tried the usual 'Our Price' shops and Tower Records at Picadilly
    which is where I usually endup when I can't find something, but
    to no avail. Niet, nadda, nothing.

247.1	You say neighbour, we say neighbor	BUSY::JMINVILLE	I'm mobile	`Mon Nov 14 1988 21:50`	11
	There is a local band over on this [the western] side of the pond that hails from Boston. They are called The Neighborhoods and were at one time called Willie Alexander and The Neighborhoods. Willie left to "make it big", never really did, and The Neighborhoods are still around. I saw them once back in '78 or '79...they were quite punkish/new waveish. Don't know much by them. Anybody? BTW, Willie's got a new tune out that's getting some airplay over here. joe.
247.2	a gem that will probably never be CD-ized	TLE::WARD	John Ward	`Wed Nov 16 1988 21:25`	11
	Re: Boston's own Neighborhoods They released a single back in '79 (I think) entitled "Prettiest Girl". That song is still on my all-time favorites list. Much ahead of its time, IMNSHO. If you live in the Boston area, you can still buy this record. I think I saw it in Newbury Comics on Newbury Street. John

The 'Hoods are still kicking around the Boston area. They have released two albums in the past two years, including a great song called "WUSA". They still occasionally play the Boston clubs. David Bowie is also a big fan of the Neighborhoods. He had them open up for his show at Sullivan Stadium on his 'Glass Spiders' tour. Quite a feat for an unsigned band to play to 60,000 people! And I agree - "Prettiest Girl" is one of my all-time fave songs. Alan S.
