I saw these guys open for Bad Brains in 91 or 92. Chuck Mosely (formerly of Faith No More) was supposed to be singing for Bad Brains, but HR rejoined right before the show in Detroit at St. Andrew's Hall. Lucy Brown were a great opener and "COlorblind" is still one of my favorite songs.
Saw them a couple of times when I was in DC for college from 1990 - 1994 and it was always a great time. RIP Gene.
I was lucky enough to see these guys a number of times in Jersey. They were the best band around. Gene was amazing live. I really thought that they were going to break through. I still mourn their loss.
saw them once in jersey myself at City Gardens, think they opened for Soundgarden but my memory is a bit hazy.
I was hanging out with them in NY at their end. I'm glad I got to see them so many times and like all the other poster, I'm sorry thy didn't reach their full potential. I still have a T shirt in good shape and a CD.
Soul Power! Spotted the Bad Brains T- shirt. I have one also. Excellent!
So terrific to see this again! I was at that show, Aug. 23, 1991... Lucy Brown was my all-time favorite band to catch live, they always put on a great show. THANKS for putting this up!
I was at this show at the old 9:30! Love ya Gene! RIP
When i was 10 my father gift me a cd of this band. He bought the compact so cheap xDD
I love this band.
This band were amazing, I am not sure where their career went but it seems as though they were greatly underappreciated. What a powerful voice and message.
Man...I wish there was more footage of them.
I saw them in Columbia, SC back in their
touring days....good band.
This is really good
Excellent. Love this. Cheers!
i came across these guys at a cb's matinee in fall of 1990. they were my favorite band for a long time. totally crushed live and great guys. i miss them.
Love this song and the message in it.
Holy shit!! what the hell I just discovered?? that´s band it´s great.
Gene!! I miss you so much cuz! Love you always man! RIP
These guys were brilliant! Raw energy and funky soul.
Can't tell you how many times I saw these guys at City Gardens in Trenton. Incredible live band.
These guys got it can you feel it
I visited "The Awakening" in D.C. in 1988 and it was my favourite statue, so when I saw this video on Headbangers' Ball in 1991, it was an instant classic for me!! I never bought the album, but I never forgot the video or song (as evident as I'm posting in 2017).
I'm sad to learn that Gene has left this world. I hope the next world is perfectly colorblind.
This is great....!!!!! How was I not made aware of these guys before? Better late than never, I guess...!!!
HELL YES
I was at this show when they announced they were making a video for Colorblind! Local DMV music at its finest!
As an owner of Fishbone's greatest hits, an Atlantan fan of Follow for Now, I thank you for introducing me to 24/7 Spyz
AWESOME video!! Reminds me of a harder edged Living Colour. I mind seeing this on a U.S. episode of the Headbangers Ball with Riki Rachtman. It kicks some SERIOUS ass!! REAL MUSIC!!
Rest in peace, Gene. It was cool to meet you.
Saw them open for Ramones at the Bayou in DC. Powerful band.
I was lucky enough to see these guys at CBGBs (they played before my friends' band), came out looking like a Jazz ensemble and by the end of the set, back then anyway, it was pretty hardcore. Glad to find them again!
They were amazing live
Awesome band. Seen this on an old 1991 U.S. Headbangers Ball episode I have on DVDR. They sound like a 'pissed off' version of Living Colour.
A hardcore kid i knew in high school turned me on to this band. Though I only heard the Megaforce LP, i couldn't stop listening to it back in 91/92. Great songwriting, musicality, and Gene Hawkins had a unique and powerful voice. Who knows how far they might've gone.
Just thought about them randomly the other day, and was really saddened to learn about the singer's passing 15 years ago.
Peace and R.I.P. to G. Hawkins from NY. So many great DC cats helped launch alot of great NY music, too.
I was unknowingly introduced Gene before he was to play at a club somewhere in New Brunswick nj. Sadly I didn’t know who he was. After the show I understood his greatness. RIP.
Whoooo this is fire!
Soul Power!
That sounds about right because I believe Vinnie Paul produced their second album. If you ever find the tape for that, look for a cut called Room Turns Red. It was a tough cut. I miss this band.
Vinnie did produce the Five Dogs Dead E.P In his father studio When the band was allotted $35,000 to record the 2nd album And were having trouble finding somebody to record it for them for their low budget
Saw these guys more times than I can count - they were awesome. RIP, Gene. Another amazing talent gone too soon. I don't know that the band would have faded so fast...but I'm definitely a bit biased. They put on a hell of a live show, though.
R I P Gene really miss you a lot man I remember the last day that we were together talking
Well before the Bouncing Souls were signed, they had a decent enough following at the time to get some of their friends' bands on some good bills. They were tight with Lucy Brown and put them on bills with them.

Bro....I'm on my 5th Video and I hate that I never saw them in their Heyday! I just don't know how they got past me since this was totally the kinda Stuff I was Following during the 90's...RIP GENE. Just ordered the CD off of AMAZON!
Lucy Brown was awesome and is one of my all time favorite bands. I saw the live in NJ and they kicked ass. I thought they had a chance to make it. If they could have gotten promoted the way the RHCP did at the time I thought they had chance. Shame will never know.
Gonna be on the lookout for some of their CD'S, yeah man!
Spotted the Bad Brains t-shirt. I have one also!
I still have "Five Dogs Dead" somewhere in my collection. It was also on the juke box at "The Crow Bar" on 20th and K in downtown DC. I'm told it was torn down. Shame. I think the band hung out there for a bit, or at least the drummer did. I spoke with him a couple of times there. Always wonder if they would have made it big if the singer lived. RIP.
Thanks for posting this video. Hard to find these guys anywhere.
Love this shit! A big thanks for you tube! Excellent!
cool band and goove music !!!
still have the paper-covered demo tape in my collection... saw them once in the Kean College caf...my friend had booked them. saw 'em all over jersey in those years....
Saw these guys in Jersey back in '91 or '92. Great band. Too bad they didn't break through. WSOU played the hell out of this track.
City Gardens? First time I saw LB was there. I don't remember who they opened for. After their set, I was done for the night.

You're most certainly welcome! Let others know on your end know just what they've been missin' out on all these years with these bands in particular.
;-)
Saw them in Houston back in 92 open for Pantera. Always thought they kicked ass. I never found any of their music just always tempered they were good. What ever happened to them? Is Gene their singer? I will seek their cd for sure.
thats a Band!
i met them and i thought they were the coolest,nicest people i ever met.met them at CBGB's
I got lucky & found a used copy of the CD at a local music store! I looked on Amazon.com & you can snag o copy pretty cheap on there! Go get 1 now!!
Yeah, first band I ever saw in Richmond at the Metro... before I moved there. Bought the cassette. Not sure, but might have caught them with American Standard at a closet sized venue in DC? Getting old, can't remember all the shows!
Man Do I miss these cats. We miss you Gene.. Peace Broheemm _\M/
it's so cool working at atomic and seeing this in the same place
I miss Gene
SOMEONE HAS TO TELL ME WHERE I CAN DOWNLOAD THEIR ALBUM... CAN'T BE THAT HARD TO FIND, SHIT -.-
@Jett21 if you heard some more of their music, you might like it..
Lead singer Gene Hawkins passing away was a HUGE blow to the group, but even were he still alive i don't think they would've ended up breaking through to the mainstream with the music industry already setting their sights on the Seattle "grunge" movement at the time (and later, the shallow bubblegum pop of Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys). No, they would've ended up going the way of Fishbone, Follow For Now, and 24/7 Spyz: a slow fade into electric purgatory...
:-(
Oh, okay. Just "Red". Am I right about the Vinnie Paul thing? Did Paul produce the whole thing or just a few cuts?
He did the whole album
@@timsproat7229 That's what I had thought!
Great tune...anyone know what the story was with these guys?
Anyone know where or how to get their album? I've honestly looked everywhere.
Who are these guys?
Lost again
And I don't expect you're (???)
Try again
You gotta keep on fighting.
Change don't come so quick,
gotta carry a big stick.
Don't let em' put you down,
don't let them fuck you around, yeah.
CHORUS:
Strength, strength,
we got to free our minds.
We gotta make this nation,
colorblind.
Strength, strength,
we got to flex our minds.
We gotta make this nation,
colorblind.
VERSE 2:
They may,
look so fine, and
clean cut, too.
Well, they ain't prepared.
Compared to you.
You've gotta
Mind to use,
Use it to make waves.
And nothing gonna be diffrent 'less
we fight for change.
VERSE:
They talk about red,
they talk about white,
they talk about blue.
But can't you understand,
that they're just colors too?
And we're all,
we're all, we're all
we're all shades of grey.
In this crazy mixed up world,
built with hate.
CHORUS:
This kind of message will get you cancelled today
Yep, some people can't handle equality.
Bahahaha this is horrible.
Jett21 Dayum brother, you must like Pop Music some kind of crap like that
This is real music
I'm Reporting this for bad taste
You probably pour the milk then the cereal tard boy
