The Rain Parade - Live Riverside Studios Hammersmith 1985

The Rain Parade - Live Riverside Studios Hammersmith

May 19, 1985

London, UK

Excellent Soundboard @320

Like most of the bands implicated in the West Coast psychedelic revival (the paisley underground, if you will), Rain Parade has a better ear for style than for substance. Most of the genre's bands tend to make very deft, subtle music but have nothing to say; Rain Parade at least knows the nuances of form better than anyone else. And if the Velvet Underground-meets-the Lemon Pipers pop sound tells more about who they like than who they are, at least the Paraders have good taste.
