A band overflowing with talent gets signed by a major label, yet despite writing two solid albums for said major, the music never really makes it into the greater consciousness of the record-buying public and band subsequently breaks up. Such is the case with The Rave-Ups. Both of their excellent Epic albums are now out-of-print, but they are not by any stretch of the imagination forgotten.

The Rave-Ups were formed in the autumn of 1979 by Jimmer Podrasky (guitar/vocals), with Michael Kaniecki (guitar/vocals), George Carter (bass, violin, vocals), and T.J. Junco (drums). Several lineup changes and a couple EP releases occurred before the 1985 release of their first full-length LP Town & Country on Fun Stuff Records/Demon Records with that (final) lineup being: Jimmer Podrasky (guitar/vocals), Terry Wilson (guitar), Tommy Blatnik (bass guitar) and Tim Jimenez (drums). The album was met with widespread critical acclaim and sold over 40,000 copies. And the single, "Positively Lost Me," became a college radio hit. The band was then signed to Epic records where they released an EP; two more LP's and appeared in the film " Pretty in Pink" where they performed 2 songs but inexplicably did not appear on the soundtrack. The band broke up in 1992.

on Sue & Sonny

Out on the streets is my long lost buddy
Broken from love without a doubt

He gave his new wife all his money
When added up it was a small amount
Yeah it was a small town

Her name was Sue amd his was Sonny
They liked a song they called "A Run Around"

He would cringe when she called him honey
Coz there was nothin' sweet about him

And he'd say "Sue, so your God has lost control"
And he'd say "Oh no, I guess thats the way things go"

Sonny got fat while Sue got lonely
Not long after the honeymoon

Blame it on the brand new TV
The cost of love and the price food
Yea blame in on the price of food

And he'd say "Oh no, I guess thats the way things go"
"Todays gonna be like tomorrow"

Sonny was lost, so he sent his head to
the other side of his living room

Some would say that he died for love though
Most would say he died too soon

And now Sue cries "Oh no, my God has lost control"
And she would say "Oh no, I guess thats the way things go"
"Today is gonna be like tomorrow"

And she would cry "Oh no, I guess thats the way things go"
And she would sing Oh no, I guess thats the way things go"
