For our first release of the new year, we are very excited to share Remember by FAVES, in the streaming audio wilds. This song was written by Greg Kihn and recorded by the Greg Kihn Band in 1978, becoming an early hit for the group that would later hit the top ten with The Breakup Song and Jeopardy. Greg Kihn Band drummer Larry Lynch plays and sings lead on this brand new single, which revisits the song with a rocking tight pop arrangement. Featured on guitar is Robbie Dunbar, also a veteran of GKB and East Bay rock legends, Earth Quake. Jimmy Jet Spalding on bass and David Tashinian on keys complete this Bay Area rock n’ roll dream team.
I’ve been a fan of these guys my whole life, having grown up in Berkeley, where Greg Kihn Band would play the Keystones regularly and some of the other clubs the Uptones would later come in and play. Robbie’s a guitar hero of mine and a big influence on me. It’s a unique honor to release this new recording now on Berkeley Cat Records. Recorded (and filmed!) at 25th Street Recording in Oakland, we are so proud to present, Remember, by FAVES. You can listen on:
You can also find this at Deezer, Tidal, Napster, iHeartRadio (wow, so many!) Please feel free to share any ol’ which way ya like. And catch FAVES live in concert sometime in the post-COVID near future, we hope! Meanwhile, you can enjoy watching the band playing this track, as it went down, in this live-in-studio video.
Thank you, and Happy New Year!!
