Bananarama

[Osiris]

Their new single, Look On The Floor, was released this week (with a special DVD single) and their album, Drama, will be out next week!

Any fans of the Nanas?

I haven't hear their new b-side yet (Live On The Sun). Is it any good?

I wasn't a fan of their old stuff but Drama sounds very promising. I'm going to order the dvd single and the album for sure.

Btw, I've heard Lovebite is going to be the 3rd single and that it will be released on February! :_bigclaps

[Sexor]

I'm very excited for the new album, I'm gonna order my copy real soon :D

[Osiris]

Have you heard their new b-side?

[Sexor]

I heard a sample of it, and didn't know what to think of it lol.

have u heard the full song yet?

[Osiris]

No, I haven't... I was asking you cause I'm considering buying cd1...

[Sexor]

yea I would definitely get it, and maybe CD2 cos it has some really good remixes on it

[Osiris]

K. My dad loved the Move In My Direction remixes... maybe I will buy both and offer him the later one for x-mas.

[Lee-UK]

I loved the nanas back in 87-ish. Nathan Jones/Love In The First Degree era. Not so keen on the new stuff - I'll have to give it a chance.

You 80's nostalgic. ;-)

[Lee-UK]

Ha Ha - that's me!

Actually, I'd say that 87-90 were the best years! All that Stock/Aitken/Waterman stuff. Oh, and of course Maddy was ultra cool (IMO) from 1985-1990.

[CanadianMike]

I only have their GREATEST HITS. I still love it. Would love to see recent pics of them.

[Osiris]

Your wish is my commend! lol

WOW Thanks...they look GREAT! :-*

[Osiris]

You're welcome!

I'm so excited the 3rd single is going to be Lovebite! I absolutely adore this song!

[DraKarnig]

Lovebite should have been the first single!

[Osiris]

Lovebite should have been the first single!

I know!

However, I'm quite worried about the new production added to it (you can hear it on the official site sample). I hope it doesn't kill the song. It's so perfect!

[Sexor]

I heard one of the new album songs "Your Love Is Like A Drug" ... its not that great haha.

[Osiris]

I love the songs I've heard so far. I'm buying the album for Lovebite and Waterfalls anyway.

In other news, Look On The Floor entered at #26...

[Sexor]

Yea i'm buying the album reguardless, I'm dying to hear "Feel For You" that sample on their website really got me all excited http://www.sayhey.co.uk/invboard/html/emoticons/hyper.gif

[Rudy Rudy]

Gotta join in here!

Can't wait to get my hands on the new album! 'Move In My Direction' was great and so far I've hear 'Look On The Floor', 'Lovebite, 'Waterfall', 'Rules of Attraction' and 'Don't Step On My Groove' . All very nice!

I've been a avid fan for ages. I like the early 80s stuff, but from 'Pop Life' on their work got better, excluding the album 'Please Yourself'. They were forced to go back to Stock & Waterman due to contract reasons.

I saw them perform 1,5 year ago and they are quite the entertainers!

[Osiris]

FYI: You can listen to sample of ALL the tracks on their official site and watch the Look On The Floor video full. ;-)

[Mr. Rod]

Thank you!

[Peter]

"Look on the floor" is catchy, I like it! I want to get the remix that is on their website....

[Osiris]

Drama is currently at #130 in the midweeks... :-(

[Rudy Rudy]

Video looks cool! I've got some pics & vids from their show I saw 1,5 year ago, will try to post them soon!

[Osiris]

That would be great, Rudy!

Btw, you're looking very hot on your avatar... http://www.sayhey.co.uk/invboard/html/emoticons/icecream.gif

[Rudy Rudy]

LOL thanks Jules! I never really like the way I look on pics, but that summer was quite allright.

Will upload the pics when I get home! Better go and teach things to kids. Right now it's Malin week LMAO

[Rudy Rudy]

OK here we go!

The concert was called 'Reflex of the 80s Party' and featured several 80s bands.
Bananarama came on last and stole the show!Their vocals were off key most of the time, but the weird thing was that I didn't notice it when standing there, only after it when I was listening to my recordings.

Since the show was 80s based there were no 'new' songs, altho they were out promoting their Exotica album at that time. They did the following songs:

I Heard A Rumour
Love In The First Degree
Venus
NaNa Hey Hey
Cruel Summer 2001
Robert deNiro's Waiting

Enjoy!

[Osiris]

Awesome! Thanks! I noticed they always perform with hot male dancers!

They know their fans very well! :-P

[Peter]

they look GREAT!! How old are they now?

[Osiris]

Keren is 44 (April 2) and Sara 43 (she'll turn 44 on December 17)

[Peter]

wow, they have really aged well!

[Mr. Rod]

wow, they have really aged well!

Yeah, with some surgeries here and there.... :-P

[DraKarnig]

wow, they have really aged well!

Oh I don't know about that! They look like a pair of transsexuals. Not that that's a bad thing, but women generally shouldn't look like transsexuals. :devil:

[Rudy Rudy]

Shut up LOL

Sara & Keren look great, esp the latter!

[lauke]

I think I agree with drake, this sara does look like a transsexual.... same doesnt go for keren... she does has ages well.

I was there with Rudy, was weird to see someone perform cruel summer...
(of course I knew it was their song, dont worry)

Robert de niro's waiting, talking italian....the video was just on tv before I got online.

[Osiris]

Me really liking Drama!!! I just got it today along with Look On The Floor CD1 (with Live In The Sun!) and the dvd! http://www.sayhey.co.uk/invboard/html/emoticons/rahrahrah.gif

[Sexor]

Jules is it too much to ask if you could upload their album in 256 for me? I can't order my album for along time (no money for imports) :-(

I would really appreciate it :-)

[Osiris]

I will. Somebody else already asked for it. ;-)

[Rudy Rudy]

I will. Somebody else already asked for it. ;-)


That was probably me! I'm scum!

[Osiris]

Yeah, that was you! lol

So which songs are you faves?

[Rudy Rudy]

Move In My Direction is still a huge favourite.
I LOVE the line ' it's been seven days since my last confession' !

Lovebite is good, aswell as Middle of Nowhere.

Waterfall sucks tho.

[Osiris]

I love most of the songs... my faves being Lovebite, Frequency, Feel For You, Waterfalls, Middle Of Nowhere and Move In My Direction.

[becleave]

Thanks you for uploading/sharing the songs over at
TAB !
I like the vocals on Move In My Direction !
Nothing in my music collection compares to this Bananarama style .
I didn't listen to the last 3 songs, because
I loved Rules of Attraction . X3 times over.
And everything up to there was great,
WAterfalls, Frequency very tasty !
There are some 'nice' reviews on amazon , for this CD.
I don't know when i will scrape up $30 to import it tho.
After the new year,maybe.

[Osiris]

Thanks you for uploading/sharing the songs over at
TAB !

I didn't upload them on The Aceboards... did someone steal my files and post them over there without crediting me? :angry:

I bet it's Terry! Damn bitch!

[becleave]

LMAO . or maybe someone hijacked his account :rotfl:

Ah well. it is better than an anonymous guest starting a thread :-P

Thank you, all the same !

[Sexor]

I posted the files at TAB before you posted it here at THB, so its 2 different sets :-P

[Osiris]

I posted the files at TAB before you posted it here at THB, so its 2 different sets :-P

Calm down, boy. I was just fucking around. :-D
