What a great video. Love the humour mixed with the dark feel via cemetery and gas mask visuals. Unfortunately all that was stripped away when the mainstream music business took them by the hand and ripped out their hearts [only joking] and made them very rich lol.
My hands down favorite was this album, with this & Ti Na Na being my fave rave tuneages. Decidedly darker in tone it provided some seriously addictive hooks! I won't rip them for slicking up & taking their shot at the big brass ring. But THIS is the real Huang Chung...thanks for sharing!
This band is very underated,. This LP was and is still amazing. I had the privilege to see them whilst on a short trip to Edinburgh from London. The name of the venue evades me but I seen them as this formation back in my own band heyday. After the gig, I met and hung out with them. Immediately after returning to London I ran to the shop and purchased the LP which I stll treasure. These guys are all really very nice warm individuals with loads of talent. When I came bk to the states I told everyone about this fantastic new band I've seen and befriended in the UK. Shortly thereafter they became music history. What's really amazing is that I knew they would reach stardom because their talent is impeccable. R.Tari 2022
These guys need to get back for music's sake music is dying all the crap that's around these were the days when music was actually good well more than good life changing excellent inspiring in so many ways.
THANKS FOR SHARING!! Had to be fun man...and too cool being on the ground floor of the boys and New Wave in general...THANKS FOR SHARING!!! Loved "To LIve & Die In LA" but THIS album was my hands down absolute FAVORITE! Songs like this or Ti Na Na, Love You IN A Half Hearted Way, all deliciously dark & moody & endlessly interesting!
There was a Huang Chung music video?! How come NO ONE has documented all of their music videos? I had no idea fire in the twilight existed, let alone this! Also, great song. I love the Huang Chung album. Both the version with and without dance hall days.
Ah the wonders of RUclips, being able to see some Huang Chung era Wang Chung. As low budget as the chroma key is on this video, it really is no worse than some of the videos that were appearing on MTV in 1981.
@jamesyireland They only had 1 top 75 hit in the UK with Dance Hall Days (No 21) they should have been huge, the album this is off is fantastic, had the CD for ages.
Wonderful! i am a die-hard fan of WCh(huang chung) and never saw this clip before wharsoever, could I have a copy of this one? let me know if this is possible!!thanx in advanced, jackhues
Serious the sound is ....mmmhhh only the right side of my headphones do work... GRRRR Nobody seems to notice....everybody seems naturally deaf of the left ear

Also, great song. I love the Huang Chung album. Both the version with and without dance hall days.
Also I have to comment on the great music video mix.
Also the appearance of David Burnand, who left very shortly after Huang Chung (the album)
Incredible rarity. Great band.
It's a tremendous advantage to get the original maker to post it! This is a true gem.
One of my most favorite song of theirs.
This is gold. I want it!

The best band in my opinion of the 80's they had everything i'm pleased the americans saw it but the brits didn't
Their first lp was, for me, the best of the 80's, apart from 4th Drawer Down by the Associates.
Timeless......
Great band! WONDERFUL SONG........."Hold Back the Tears"
My great memories. .I miss the that summer...
pretty good band but this record was on a much higher plane. magnificent vibes
THIS WAS 1982!!

This is a different version than the Huang Chung LP. They had a sax player named Hogg or something.
That’ll be “hog Robinson 2”!
Nice

Very different (and better) than the final album version of the song...
but his real name is dave burnand
Yeah the sax player in this videoo is hogg and i think the last name was robinson it's the same guy
Serious the sound is ....mmmhhh only the right side of my headphones do work... GRRRR
