Lauren Prager Hi Lauren - I grew up with Greg Maizel the bass player, still good friends just that I live in LA and he lives in the DC area. I would love to get a copy of the Vigil CD! I would pay for it if there are any around. Funny, I was fan of Here Today and got into a DC band called Not Even for 5 years and had a great run. We are having our 25 Year reunion at Jammin Java Sept 26th: facebook.com/events/1694474977447931/ I also wrote and sand the theme song to "Boy Meets World" back in the 90's: itunes.apple.com/us/album/boy-meets-world-full-length/id300568170
just discovering this band for the first time! long time 80s goth and new wave junkie here and cannot believe i missed these guys. i cant find anything from them! do you have any more uploads from them? would love to hear the rest of this album and transfer it. just amazing band. similiar to peter murphy. sounds like the bolshoi and singer from suede!
If you still need the 3 song EP, I do have it digitized. If you want it let me know. I can send you the files if I have your email addr. I also have the "Vigil" cd that I can send if you want it as well.
I discovered them in 1984 as a college DJ in Seattle. As "Here Today", I only know of one three song EP, Whistle In The Yard, Del Centro, and In The Maze". All of those are available on YT. I love "In The Maze", "Del Centro", not so much. About 1985 a name change to "Vigil" and as far as I know, only one CD which is where this mix of "Whistle In The Yard" came from. I love both the original and the re-mix. I am a huge Peter Murphy fan, escpecially his work with Mick Karn in "Dalis Car".
HOW CAN I GET VIGIL'S CD?? I grew up next to door to a neighbor who knew these cats....he gave me an extra copy of what I am guessing was their first album. Gargoyle was a fantastic track as was this one, Whistle in the Yard.
mick karn was an amazing bass player! love japan! thx for the info, found in the maze and that is a good one! having trouble finding del centro on here though. they are a hard band to search, so much other stuff comes up, very frustrating. very interesting band nonetheless. i am trying to track down all their stuff! what is that del centro under? thx again!!!
This album is incredible! Got to see them at 9:30 club in D.C. they were unbelievable. One of my favorite albums for sure.
My father Sam Prager was the producer for Vigil. I will be putting up more songs on youtube for your enjoyment!
I was a roadie for Vigil back in the day.

Doofus Rufus My dad has that alblum on vinyl, and thats how i discovered vigil. I love that song though, good stuff.
I was a good friend of your dad back in the day. He did a really great job producing this!
Saw Vigil open for The Stranglers on their Dreamtime tour in early '88 - immediately bought their album, and it's still in my playlists today.
I still have the 45 and their first album from the days of poseurs as a doorman and a very pro save it all
one of the best written songs ever. Great stuff !
I was there at Sheffield Studios when this was recorded. Also at BWI when they decided to break up the band!
Back in the 80's hfs brought this one to my ears, I have it on vinyl. Not quite the spy's or the tenants, but they had potential .
please, please upload any and everything by this band, I MISS THEM SO
Still awesome
Rare, but why? This is too good.

Try Discogs.
As far as I am aware, Here Today only released the three song e.p. The song you mention is from after they changed their name to Vigil.
wait??? Hank here! didn't We go to New York city to record this?
