About Me

--RADIO CITY [Long Island, New York] Seems to be one of the great unsigned bands from the late 70's and early eighties. No official releases although Kenny Laguna (from the ORIGINAL Bubblegum stable of Kasenetz/Katz over at Buddha Records) did produce a standout track called "Little Runaway". They are remembered as doing Pure Power Pop! in the classic style. Songs were penned by Gary Feldman and Mark Silvert. Doug Khazzam (aka Buddy Love) : "His (Gary) songs were a GIGANTIC influence on me at a time when I was just learning how to write. When Alan and I started formulating Buddy Love, we styled alot of the sound after Radio City.". ----(bubblegum.the punk.)"An incredible powerpop gem. If this song doesn't stay in your head all day... then check your pulse. Reminescent of The Raspberries, the best of the bubblegum genre and some early Beatles. How did this song "miss"?"------(Ed...da man)
