Show Notes

Spoons’ Gord Deppe talks about doing double duty as guitarist for A Flock of Seagulls, their 1982 breakthrough at the Police Picnic at Exhibition Stadium [Police, English Beat, Joan Jett, Oingo Boingo, Talking Heads], Nile Rodgers taking a liking to them while opening for Boy George & Culture Club, catching grief for that Thrifty’s ad campaign [‘Tarnished Spoons’], working with Daniel Lanois before he was Daniel Lanois, and wondering aloud why they can’t get a major auto manufacturer to use Romantic Traffic in an ad campaign!

Catch Gord doing double duty LIVE with both A Flock of Seagulls and the Spoons at Ed Sousa’s two-day Sousapalooza birthday bash at the El Mocambo on Fri Aug 16th/Sat Aug 17th. Also featuring Midge Ure, Chalk Circle, FourOneSix, Viera, and hosted by former MuchMusic VJ Michael Williams...tickets can be purchased at www.elmocambo.com
