I saw these guys in northern Ontario in the late 70s. They were a cover band that did songs by "The Police". Hence the name Platinum Blonde. I dated an ex-gf of the original drummer when we worked in a bar in Toronto. He was crazy bad drummer.
Man - I have not seen this video since I was a teen, and a big Platinum Blonde fan. Like I joined their fan club and bought earrings they supposedly designed. Had my own Alien Shores-inspired outfit, and the first day I wore it to school, with black eye liner and teased hair, was the day boys noticed me. But I didn’t care about that because I knew I was cool. Didn’t do it for anyone else but myself. Later in the early 90’s, I would go see Kenny MacLean perform at different Toronto bars because my sister dated one of his band members. He was such a lovely person - funny, warm and welcoming. I missed my chance to say Hi to Mark Holmes though. My sister had been telling everyone at the table that I had been obsessed with the band and him, and Kenny said - Do you want to meet him? He’s right over there. And there he was, in his all-black phase, playing pool. I awkwardly croaked out No because I didn’t want sister dearest to embarrass me further in front of him, being a shy, insecure 22 year-old at the time. And apparently a dummy. He probably would have been very nice too.
i discovered this song on a Mcdonald's obby on Roblox, and to be honest, i was quite literally flabbergasted to hear such a banger song playing in the background of ROBLOX game of all things
One of my all-time fave Platinum Blonde songs from Alien Shores album. Heard it on the radio today. I even went to see them live in concert three years ago in Little Current, just months before the pandemic hits.
Omg we had the best times back then. We all had nutty hair, great clothes. Used to wash clothes at a laundry with Chris at Vaughn and St Clair. Was at the concert when they opened for Duran Duran reflex concert ..that was awsome
Yes, the 80’s were great times to be a kid. I definitely had an Alien Shores’ inspired outfit and hairstyle when I was 16. And I was at that Duran Duran concert as well - it was The Payolas who opened for them that time.
They started to lose right after their first album unfortunately. Situation Critical and Crying Over You are okay but they don't come even close to the edge and angst that Doesn't Really Matter and Standing In The Dark had. They sound more dated. Where as the latter two have such an edge to them I can't quite explain it's weird for New Wave to have such an edge like that. Weird in a good day. It made them stand out and made them stand the test of time.
@@alukuhito Maybe but it also could have been their manager/record company. I imagine in 1985 the sound of their first album wasn't considered very relevant anymore. The industry probably pushed them to become the next Duran Duran.
I can tell you as I grew up rocking in the 80's that there were dinner type jackets WITH PADDED SHOULDERS, and exotic type tiger stripe designs of a plethora of colors. Miami vice was big so Don made it fashionable in a very masculine kind of way to wear pastel colors and DAMN did THAT EVER DRAW IN THE LADIES

A good Canadian Rock band, thanks for posting this song.

I went to see them in concert and they were very good musicians.
I never knew Canadian! And I loved this cassette album
I think,

I remember this Canadian group, I used to listen to their cassettes on weekends when I went out. Memories. Those days were different.
Reminds me of Duran Duran.❤❤😊😊

I miss the old days my 5 year old daughter has this on repeat shes got taste 😊
Glad to be Canadain 🇨🇦
USA. Loved them from the start.!!!
@@basiacolegrove7878 Amein !
Back in the mid 80s, the whole tape was played on a daily basis on the school bus's cassette player, on that long trip to our rural high school.
Great memory
Don't you miss that though? Making your own playlists on cassette tapes? Now it's just too easy but am thankful for UA-cam
Oh my God! I was thinking the exact same thing! Then I saw your name. Guaranteed you and I rode that same school bus together. Haweaters for life!
Imagine being alive in 1985 and hearing this shit play , fucking fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Loved this in 6th grade in 1987 and love it now in 2024
My 3 year old son loves this band
lol
Hilariously, spot on.
I was in sixth grade when I first heard this song and living in the tundra makes this song special.🇨🇦👍🏽🙂
They should release a greatest hits dd/ dvd compilation. I want all of their videos on dvd/ blu ray

Heartthrob mania 🇨🇦♥️💃
J'adore ce groupe de musique depuis 1983 et j'écoute encore leurs chansons à mon âge (57 ans).❤
This was their best tune
Naw, Hungry Eyes is their best by far.
So you listened to all their albums then, or did you mean singles?
the only bad part about this song is that it ended 🔥
i discovered this song on a Mcdonald's obby on Roblox, and to be honest, i was quite literally flabbergasted to hear such a banger song playing in the background of ROBLOX game of all things
same
A boat game for me, 30 minutes trying to pilot a ship to Antarctica and this came on.
RCPD:FR, was playing when I was pursuing a 1970's Mustang.
God bless Roblox City.
i heard someone playing this on a pirate ship in navy simulator lol

2:20 so pleasing to the ears 🙌

Great that they came to the Island.
this is a song they would definitely play in the store
Love this band they are awesome
I wish i could go back to 80s toronto
YES! Me too!
Omg we had the best times back then. We all had nutty hair, great clothes. Used to wash clothes at a laundry with Chris at Vaughn and St Clair. Was at the concert when they opened for Duran Duran reflex concert ..that was awsome
Was that the concert at The Gardens where they made the music video for Reflex?

@@haweater1555 You bet it was, but Platinum Blonde didn’t open for them - it was The Payolas. I was there too - first concert at age 14.
Wow.!! From time to time i sing this song especially when I become impatient or when I’m in a hurry to be somewhere
My Teenage years in the Bronx
Wicked song!👍
....and I Liiiiiiiiiiike this!
awesome great song thank you for the upload I lie it.
Saw these guys at the Paramount in Seattle back in ‘86. Not bad. They did Beatles cover tunes for their finale.
80s at it's best!
This song has such a great beat to it...grabs you from the opening, PB at its finest there!
I used to be infatuated with this band still a bit now in my 50’s
Great song
Great song!!!!!
I can't believe I know them!
Filmed in a Hockey Rink in Toronto

Badd azz bass lines
Best song off Alien Shores imo.
Wish they release their DVD !!! Wanna have all of their clips. Contact wasn't remastered yet...
@@RockRemastered I hope they remaster the rest of the videos.
@@platinumblondearchive2695 and if they could release some live contents too
This song is played continuously in roblox game. I wonder if it's even licensed 😆
Lead singer was from Mansfield England and one of the other members was from Scotland..I can't imagine Canada with a new wave scene
The best :)
Excellent ❤

They remind me of Duran Duran.
The fact that this is still a working roblox song id 💀

Platinum Blonde were WAY ahead of their time in the early 80s. Then they lost it. They went too pop.
Standing In The Dark is a solid album. Not one wrong track.
They started to lose right after their first album unfortunately. Situation Critical and Crying Over You are okay but they don't come even close to the edge and angst that Doesn't Really Matter and Standing In The Dark had. They sound more dated.

@@ELEcomments I wonder why they started so strong, then fell apart. Maybe the fame got to their heads.

Does anyone know what kind of jacket mark is wearing while performing on stage

Miami vice was big so Don made it fashionable in a very masculine kind of way to wear pastel colors and DAMN did THAT EVER DRAW IN THE LADIES
its the lidlblox song
After the first few hits they were done. Well ,at least they had their 15 minutes of fame.
We still play their cuts and these guys got a lotta broads in the 80's so good on em.
Girlfriend got ultra horney to this. Needless to say I had the cassette and disk. I'm sure there was an 8 track around somewhere
I heard this song in a Roblox obby
Was it in escape McDonald’s obby?
