    Little River Band was one of the most underrated bands of all time. A harmony equal to early Styx. Incredible band.

    I'm in my teenage years and I just found out about them months ago because my neighbor's dad played "The Night Owls" while i was eating. Upon hearing the song, I immediately stood up and took my phone to ask google song recognition "what song is currently playing right now". I really loved that song on the first listen and that's why I decided to dig up on their albums and releases... This band is definitely GOAT!🤘 They have awakened my Musician self!!!

    I visited my dad last week and amongst the Steve Vai, Brahms, and Wagner we heard that evening we also listed to an LRB hits disk I found in his CD collection. so I', going on another LRB lick again. He raised us on classical but someone he worked with him introduced him to LRB and in the week on the cusp of 1978and 1979 we listened to a recording of Sleeper Catcher a lot during the 1st time we visited the cabin in winter; it has no electricity and we just used a memo tape player (even thought the tape was in stereo) Within months we were all familiar with the 1st album and the North American version of Diamantina Cocktail as well.
    I've often told people that LRB where similar to Queen, and although not as technical and layered in the studio, the music of LRB was more modern and contemporary and actually holds up as approachable progressive and sometime even hard rock, NOT the melody country pop as it's so often mischaracterized as. LRB also uses the same vocal tactics in the studio as Queen and also sings harmonies live the way Queen did with Freddie Mercury singing the lower harmony parts as Shorrock does to save his voice; You're the Roger Taylor of the live vocal arrangements: Top. When I 1st played my mom Passion and Warfare by Steve Vai in 1990 she said "some of it sounds like LRB". I don't think a bigger compliment is possible in all of rock music. Thanks for the music, the memories, and for posting this video.

    Sometimes, I think I'm just a crazy cat
    Running around, don't know where it's at
    Getting confused with my way of life
    That's when you say, "Now, you cut that jive right now, right now"
    You keep this flame, I have a light in me
    And with this cat, it's curiosity
    That keeps me hanging on night and day
    Surprisingly, again, I hear you say, "Guess what, guess what"
    Curiosity killed the cat
    I'm telling you I know where it's at
    Love is everywhere to be found
    Open your eyes and look around
    You, you, you (yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Yeah, yeah, yeah (oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
    Some things you say, take me by surprise
    I like your style so, give me your advice
    Send me the truth, and I'll always be
    Singing your song with you in harmony (that's right, that's right)
    Curiosity killed the cat
    I'm telling you I know where it's at
    Love is everywhere to be found
    Open your eyes and look around
    Curiosity killed the cat
    I'm telling you I know where it's at (yes, I do)
    Love is everywhere to be found
    Open your eyes and look around
    You, you, you (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    Yeah, yeah, yeah (ooh-ooh-ooh)
    Ah, ah, ah (aah, aah)
