Baxie talks to singer Pearl Harbour from Pearl Harbour & The Explosions! In 1979, Pearl and her band released their self-titled debut album which spawned the New Wave hit, "Drivin'". Unfortunately, due to musical difference, the band broke up before recording a follow up record. In 1980, Pearl released her first Rockabilly solo album, "Don't Follow Me. I'm Lost Too". The backup band on that record included Mick Jones, Topper Headon, and her future husband Paul Simonon of The Clash! The album, which is finally being reissued by Liberation Hall records is terrific. But the story behind that record is even more incredible! Listen on Apple Podcasts, SoundCloud, Spotify, and on the Rock102 website!
