Close Lobsters - Let's Make Some Plans (Official Video)

CLOSE LOBSTERS Let's Make Some Plans
Close Lobsters first came to wider prominence with the track "Firestation Towers" on the NME's C86 compilation. They signed to Fire Records and released their debut single "Going To Heaven To See If It Rains" in October 1986. They released a second single "Never Seen Before" in April 1987 which strengthened their reputation as one of the leading emerging indie bands.[1] They went on to release two albums: Foxheads Stalk This Land was released in 1987 and Headache Rhetoric in 1989. Rolling Stone's review of "Foxheads Stalk This Land" called it "first-rate guitar pop from a top-shelf band. Close Lobsters could have been just another jangle group, but they have a lot more going for them than just chiming Rickenbackers."[2]
Their popularity on United States college radio stations led to an invitation to the New York Music Seminar in 1989, which in turn led to an extensive American tour.[3] They toured relentlessly in the UK, Germany and the United States of America and Canada.
The band eventually took an extended break.
Their 'Best of' Singles retrospective, Forever, Until Victory! - the title is from the reputed last sign-off in a letter from Ernesto 'Che' Guevara to Fidel Castro 'Hasta la victoria siempre!' - was released on 5 October 2009 on Fire Records.

That guitar is just liquid gold. Perfect. One of the finest singles of the ‘C86’ era

[@bukowski20]

Damn right, no dislikes...One of the greatest bands ever. Glad I got to see them a few times when they toured the US back when. The rosary beads in the mouth are a special treat.

[@popolbruh8263]

Foxheads is one of the best albums ever made. Skyscrapers might be my favorite song of all time. Love this band.

47 comments? I come here like a sad ghost and it's not even my band. This is one of the most beautiful pop bands ever in the history of our funny little sad planet. Oh well, "What can't be made explicit to the fool or idiot is not worth my care." Wm. Blake....

[@FinnE30]

@@itsjoshua1158 Talking shite, TWP gave this tune a big pair of hairy bollocks..

[@itsjoshua1158]

Drew Blue NO!!

[@oldtyger]

I prefer the original . TWP is darker, edgier but I prefer this more melodic version, which is basically Close Lobsters. I fell in love with I Kiss the Flowers in Bloom first time I heard it in 1987. Luxembourg Signal has an interesting cover.

[@miguelgomezvillarino8919]

A guitar riff you could spend a whole life trying to reach
