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!
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.
