I remember a gig of this band in a London club in November 1989...Great to find this video here! they are one of my favourite pop bands...

[@icpaul2]

May have been the Camden Falcon, as I saw them there some time around then.

[@kevtherev]

Yes this was one of the first videos I ever made. This was with Category E. Its an OK video. Kind of think the band might do more commercially today than they did then!

[@valerioimpulsive]

I discovered this band now as part of NME C86 triple cd, great! I am buying all their records, there are no cd available so I had a great work to do to put on cd to play them in my dj sets. Great subject of the song hi hi hi!

I've never seen a video of Jesse Garon & Desperadoes. Thanks a lot!

[@silverstevo]

my daughter is at school with andrew's and i can remember seeing jesse garon play at floral riot etc. time for a re-union? i'll mention it to him in the playground...

[@owensmith4303]

so good i can not rave enough

[@InfraRiot]

Haha, that's quite funny, I was going to buy the two JG & TDs LPs from Avalnche today, and Andrew Tully (frontman) was on the counter... I had no idea he was the singer either! That could have been an interesting conversation!

[@kevtherev]

You are most welcome. As a first project it was fun to do. Sort of. Working as a three way collective is not the ideal to make a video!

[@borealico]

Were you involved in the making af this video? nice work anyway and great band, I like it a lot!

[@VacuumBoots81]

@kAoRyYuUkI well, their name is Jesse Garon and The Desperadoes... so probably not.

[@DrMadv1be]

Then you must be Michael Kerr. And that's my guitar that Andrew Tully is playing.

[@kevtherev]

don't think so, but I could be wrong

[@kevtherev]

Sorry, I don't understand.
