Cover Story: The Judy’s Come Back

Thu Mar 13, 2008 at 06:06:24 AM

In honor of Chris Gray’s feature on the return of The Judy’s, we rounded up some greatest hits from YouTube. Just like with any other search of that site, we found the good, the bad and the fairly weird.

We’ll start things off with “Guyana Punch,” the 15th greatest Houston song of all time. This clip comes from a 1981 performance at the Agora Ballroom:

Also from the Agora Ballroom show is this clip of “Joey the Mechanical Boy”:

Up next is this clip of a guy playing Judy’s jams in his kitchen:

And no tour of YouTube is complete without a clip of a little blonde girl banging on paint cans:

Holy crap...The Judys!!! What a blast from the 80's past! Remember watching them & acting stupid @ Fitzgerald's back in the day...

Saw them last night at The Austin Music Awards, and they were great! The set list, as best as I can remember was:
Her Wave
High Society
Man on A Window Ledge
You Never Call Me
My TV
Rerun
Guyana Punch(the front row got wet, of course!)
They were very well received by the many 'oldtimers' like me, and the kiddos that were there loved them. I gotta think they will perform in Houston soon.
