The Numbers - Five Letter Word (1980)

[@kevindee4871]

In 1980 with an under 18's concert at Caringbah YMCA I turned up to see The Flowers. Being the undercard, fate would decree The Numbers were to be my first ever live band experience. True Iva remains cool, seeing them again this Saturday with my girls. Though Annalisse was hot, talented and had really great hair.
About a decade ago I even stumbled across a re-release of their greatest hits CD.

I used to watch them live a lot. One of Australia`s most underrated bands

Pretty good 3 piece band. Saw them live once. I think it was at the Bondi Lifesaver. Maybe 1980. Just after their first single "The Modern Song".

Great track and great band

Many people are saying that after listening to this song, it's pretty easy to understand why they got the success they deserved.

This band was the support band for icehouse and men at work at the capitol theatre on june 27 1981. I'm I correct.?

[@jeromielee1958]

they remind me of very early berlin. Terri nunn.

Good intro - "Needles and Pins" rejigged. I wonder if a more raw sound would have helped them conquer.

Rocking the flock of seagulls look two years before flock of seagulls

It's funny how many early 80s female pop singers looked like they were absolutely whacked off their chops.

great song... what's with Annalise's eyes?... looks like she got the musos disease riding the white horse.
