One of the Best!
There were quite a few bands in the Carolinas that were quite good back in the 80s and these guys were among the best of all of them. They grew from an outfit known as Moon Pie, from Greenville, SC, and became The Accelerators just before this record was released. Soon after, the band's leader and front man, Gerald Duncan, moved to Raleigh, NC, and, following a few personnel changes, took the band into a less Rockabilly and more Hard Rock direction (leading to the album that I've posted previously here - The Accelerators: The Accelerators).
Moon Pie once rented a former Church building in Greenville as a practice space. It became rather well known as The Church of Rock & Roll throughout a good part of the 80s and was a place where we could all congregate after the local bars closed at 12:00am on Saturday nights (as a result of South Carolina's legal condemnation of "Drinking on The Lord's Day"). I still have special (if a bit Foggy) memories of this place, and of the authentic Electric Chair that they kept in one of the Sunday School rooms.

hey. Gerald Duncan is my uncle, and your right they were one of the best
Very Cool! Tell Uncle Gerald that his music is still loved!
I need to place a link to a place where people can purchase the newest CD over in the sidebar, as a matter of fact!
I should, perhaps, feel bad about saying they "were" one of the best, but you dig where I'm comin' from, I'm sure.
They still are cool, of course, but ain't none of 'em still there but Gerald.
