Tuscadero Prepare For A Pillow Fight

I’m not too familiar with early-’90s D.C. public access, so I don’t know much about Slumber Party, the show from which this footage of the spazzy indiepop outfit Tuscadero is taken. (It looks kind of like a lo-fidelity cross between Solid Gold and the scene in Grease where Rizzo sings about Sandy being too perfect, and it makes me so jealous, because the only public-access offerings that Long Island’s cable system ever let on the air involved either bilingual psychics or people who overused the chyron that was readily available to them.) But the four songs on offer here–including one of my favorite kiss-offs ever, “Dime A Dozen”–are all terrific bits of the band’s early catalog, and hearing them inspired me to pull out their debut album for the first time in years.
