Not a bad group. Very exemplary of that kind of sound (Blondie-ish) - which was rather cutting edge for the time. Just sort of lacked a real hit, but had a sizeable repertoire of pretty decent album cuts. Should have given Linnell the main writing duties.
This is NOT 'Five All Night.' 'Five All Night' was already off the air by that time. This was it's replacement the shitty music/interview show 'Five All Night, Live All Night.' Don't sully the name of the great original show with this turdfest which deservedly went off the air quickly!
The piano guy from The Mundanes and the lead vocalist from Mono Puff should make a band.
koozboy it is TMBG lol
21 year old John Linnell.
Nah, the mundanes and mono puff were successful enough on their own
Hes a bb@@deanevangelista6359
I love how the camera goes out of it's way to not show the only member of this group to get famous.
Jonathan Gregg (playing the red Les Paul) became relatively famous as well and started a band of his own which opened for TMBG several times
But John Linnell is without a doubt the most famous and most successful member of this band
I was thinking John Andrews became the most successful.. not in music, but as Executive Producer of Beavis and Butthead.
@@snuest he would definitely be a close second to Linnell
John Linnell, Gregg and Andrews...how many Johns were in this band???
Blonde Linnell
I love the beautiful boy's hair! Truly a triumph for the 80s!
12:03 - JOHN SHREDS.
A great example of Linnell on the Micromoog
The Mudanes, wow what a winning name.

I think these guys could’ve had much more success had they put carpets on their heads
This is actually from Boston Live. I
will post the Five All Night stuff if it isn't up already!
For an 80s band, they are not bad... but they are no Giants though.
none of them can sing as good as John and yet he's the only one not to sing. :D
but he sings like olive oil and not on purpose!
@@justinpappas4164 It would fit their style though, wouldn't it?
@@L0REN0R2Z0RR0 John hardly knew he could sing at this point. But he soon found his voice
at this point john would barely whisper when he sang and had never performed as a vocalist as far as i know.
@@jmundane yes I know he was far too shy. Lucky thing he found Flansburgh or he might always have stayed a silent keyboardist.
I really like the songs, and Linnell adds a lot too it -- but talk about skunk stripe!
That`s John LUnolel from "THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS". A rock band. You might of heard of them ;)
crazy idea:
what if the keyboard guy dyed his hair and formed a band with the guitarist from the blackouts

Well at that time Now That I Have Everything would be the best he'd write...
Why did The Mundanes get the works?
That's nobody's business but Linnell's
nobody's business except the labels
Gotta thank god that they didn't get signed and we got TMBG instead
The lil emo dweeb with the goofy ahh hair is my favorite ngl he should write some songs in latin
Why Linnell had his hair painted? Was that the fashion at that new wake earlier time?
What’s that weird voice in the background?
What... OMG!
Why does it only have one audio Channel?
This is off early VHS, you are lucky it has recognisable sound at all ...
TV had mono sound in 1980.
I’m practically deaf in one ear, so all music is “right channel only” for me.

The music is very They Might Be Giants, but definitely the lyrics are not as weird.

You're right, Micah. Five All Night was better with George Fennell. I grew up on that.
The actual Five All Night Tape is around. One day I will get unlazy enough to upload my copy
@@jmundane You still have it?
No way WCVB would let these hacks play live for 20 mins!
