I had never heard of this band until I saw their documentary TV show when it came on network TV back around 1982 and I fell in love with this band. I purchased two copies of the resulting album (only one they ever did that I know of and I still have them) and then I never heard of them again. I never saw any reviews, articles, interviews, or anything that I recall. Google them and you pretty much find nothing. Weird huh??!! I'd like to know more of their story, whatever happened to them, etc. I would even like to see that documentary again. To my knowledge it's never been repeated or otherwise made available. Really sad because this band was great!

[@binzeratthepark]

I agree. I experienced the same. I also have the album. Still today love their music.

[@robdisner]

Yep. Saw it too back when it aired. Is no longer available anywhere. Keyboard player was Thomas Newman, who is a huge film composer now.

[@StephenSchnee]

I actually saw them open for Split Enz at the Hollywood Palladium in May of 1982!

[@ElJuanSolo]

Thomas Newman is cousins with artist Randy Newman and amazingly does not have his time in The Innocents mentioned on Wikipedia. It’s like the band never existed !

[@sapporo1832]

I saw it, too The Innocents were put together for the show, which was about the band being put together for the show (?). I think they didn't score too high for credibility and I can understand a musician not including it on his cv. But this is a great song.

[@maryfortney57]

On a whim I looked for them on Spotify today- they’re on there!

[@deborawright8248]

I still have this album it really good

[@scottstallard6214]

I would love to get all of the songs from this album into iTunes, sadly only about four are available on youtube that I can find. Anyone have all of them on mp3? Saw the same tv special in the 80's and bought the LP, and they still sound great to me.

[@iankilfoil6428]

Hi, which 4 songs are on KZbin? I've only found 2. I had this album when it first came out 😀

[@deborawright8248]

I kept all my albums from the's 70's and the 80's including Loverboy rappers deilght Adam Ant The B52's and many more

[@iankilfoil6428]

I had this album when it first came out 😀 , to whom ever posted this song, is there anyway to post the rest of the album on KZbin?

[@sergiomauriciovargaspalaci6217]

Good performance.......what happened with them???

[@SgtGrotto]

I bought this record after seeing some special on TV about them. Even with all that push, they never made it big.

[@ren7ee]

I think they would've been more successful if they had a different name instead of 'the Innocents'.

[@ElJuanSolo]

It fit in with the times,you had a lot of bands doing it hence The Police,The Cars,etc...

[@ren7ee]

@@puddintain8890 Yeah, I watched that TV special about them too.

[@andreamullins6688]

Well, guitarist Tony Kowalski wanted to call the band "Trees of Mystery." In retrospect, I think "the Innocents" was a much better name.
