Video: Ronald Koal & The Trillionaires, THE CITY IS SLEEPING, live at the Agora

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to locate any video of The Burners. Instead, I went with another band that featured Pete Linzell, Ronald Koal And The Trillionaires.

New Additions: Ronald Koal And The Trillionaires self-titled 1983 Album

Ronald Koal was a name I heard long before I started on this project. I knew he was something of a legend, opening for big bands in the 80s, and dying too young, but I didn't get my hands on any of the music until this project. I'm glad I did, as this is the sort of well-produced, catchy and inventive rock/new wave-ish sound that, while clearly of the 80s, does not sound particularly dated. I was able to grab a rather inexpensive copy of the self-titled Trillionaires record of Discogs, and was happy to get my hands on it since the album is hard track down for listening otherwise.
