Masquerade

The Masked Furball Aww Mondays hosted by Sandee at Comedy Plus

Yesterday, I kicked off the new month with my first Battle of the Bands for October. 

Are you ready to get this party moving?  This week’s theme is songs relating to a masquerade or disguises. Feeling challenged, don’t sweat it just have fun. Whatever you bring to the party is sure to keep the energy flowing! 

Playlist: 1. Masquerade – Berlin 2. Final Masquerade – Linkin Park 3. Masquerade – Eric Saade 4. Masquerade – Dead Man’s Whiskey 5. The World’s a Masquerade – Earth, Wind, & Fire 6. Welcome to the Masquerade – Thousand Foot Krutch 7. Dark Vampire Masquerade – Peter Gundry, Composer 8. Masquerade – Stellar 9. Masquerade end titles – John Barry 10. Masquerade – Bananarama 11. Masquerade – Lindsey Stirling

 

While looking for “masquerade” song ideas, I came a cross a late 80s band called, Masquerade ← click link if below video won’t build.  I really enjoyed the sound of their self-titled album.  It’s edgier than what my normal listening pleasure and is for some of you but it’s worth introducing this lost (to me) rock band to you.  

Album tracks:  00:00 Gimme All Your Love 04:54 Four Letter Words 08:45 Our Time Has Come 13:37 Sudden Love Affair 18:38 Ride With The Wind 22:37 Dawning Of The Day 27:30 Le Baugeux De Tromphe (Instrumental) 28:16 Wild Child 32:26 Dancin’ On The Edge 36:43 Liaison 37:16 Justice 40:42 All Night All Day 45:24 Give It A Shot 49:32 Lonely World

The 1988 heavy/metal rock group, Masquerade features band members Thomas Eric – guitar, Tony Yoanson – vocals, Marco Tapani – drums,  and Henrik Lundberg – bass formed in Sweden.  A YouTuber I stumbled on has the same above playlist on his channel and while on his channel I possibly found one of the bands earlier albums, One Night Stand.  In my search, I learned Masquerade had another album that works really well for this week’s theme, In Disguise that released in the early millennium.

I found another bands with the same name, a post-punk rock band in Helsinki Finland for those interested in this genre.    

This is a music link up.  Hence, your post must contain music (at least one song) or your URL is marked “No Music”. The party co-hostess are now featured in my right side bar underneath the 4M banner. The guidelines are simple.  Every other week, a suggested (not mandatory) theme is given to build your song picks. YouTube and other music sites have options to create and embed playlists or individual songs into your post. On the off weeks, we dance to whatever music moves you – your choice. Finally, to access the dance party, just add your music post below, and visit others on the floor. Let the party begin! 

 

With only a few months left in this year, I decided it was time to set up next year’s 4M Theme page and am asking for music prompts for 2024. If you have any, please email yours to me pronto. Credit will be given for your contributions. The honorary monthly co-host spot is always open to anyone wishing to volunteer for the spot.

  2. Fascinating gathering of disguised tracks, Cathy. The first one that came to mind for me was the Leon Russell composition “This Masquerade” by George Benson… Now, on to Berlin…

    1. Myke,

      I thought of “This Masquerade” also but didn’t use it in my set. I have a sneaky reason, though. You may want to check back my mid-month BOTB. 🙂 It’s always good to see you. Don’t be a stranger, you’re welcome anytime!

      1. Here we are again, CK, it’s early in the morning here and we came asap on the computer to listen to your mewsic, before we were still half sleeping, but OMC are we awake now…MOL…your masquerade was real heavy, not only of the Theme, but also of the band, that we didn’t know btw🙉😸 We loved to hear the quiet ones in this early morning, Peter Grundy and Lindsey Stirling, and Berlin, who we have in our playlist too this week😺 When we were hearing the Masquerade band, we thought of Kiss, they have a similar sound, don’t you think…well…at least they have kind of mask too😸 That kitty is most Awwdorable, he’s wearing his mask with purride, that little cutie pie😻Double Pawkisses for a Happy Day especially for you CK🐾😽💞

        1. Granny & furbabies,

          I like quieter music usually in the mornings, too. However, sometimes when the music really rocks, it gets me going faster. The band Masquerade has a very nice vibe. I do note some resemblance to the legendary band Kiss. I really enjoyed this new discovery. Thanks for pawstepping with me, little furriends. I’m heading over to see you next!

  7. Terrific playlist, Cathy! I love the hard rock and metal, especially, but Lindsey Stirling’s video was fabulous. “Dead Man’s Whiskey” is a perfect name for a rock band! 😀 Thanks for the introduction to the band Masquerade.

    1. Debbie,

      Thanks for joining me on the dance floor. Yes, Dead Man’s Whiskey is a great rock band name. 🙂 Have a boogietastic day, my friend!!

  8. Awww on the kitty. I want that kitty. Adorable.

    Love your playlist. Well done.

    I can’t help Marie on her new blog. I have no access.

    Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.

    1. Sandee,

      Alrighty, thanks for letting me know you can’t help Marie with the comment sign-in options. 🙂 I’m glad you got swing by today, my dear!

  9. There were a couple of songs that were just too heavy metal for me but, overall, I enjoyed the Masquerade. This is an interesting theme. Wishing you well.

  12. Way ta go Cathy!!! I never heard this song, but it totally rocks! Thanks for the introduction. I truly enjoyed it! Have a great day girlfriend, and I hope all is well with you or getting there really fast! Having a few probs with my blog, but the way it is is about the best I can do.
