Description

Fog quietly overtook the landscape as night descended. In nightclubs throughout the city, innovators were experimenting with new approaches to rock music. The early 1980s in San Francisco witnessed a vibrant sense of creativity as music from new wave to world beat to punk found appreciative audiences. Linda Kadis was part of that scene. With bands including Urban Renewal, she performed frequently at North Beachs Chi-Chi Club and the East Bays Berkeley Square, centers of the local original music scene, and in clubs throughout the Bay Area. Her songs bridged rock, new wave, world beat and punk in a combination distinctively her own. As well as performing live, she and guitarist Jay Kadis recorded demo versions of her songs with the hope of eventually releasing a self-produced album. Now, years later, the recordings have been remixed for release on Dexter Records. These 11 songs still sound as fresh as the day they were recorded, a testament to their timeless rocknroll sound and energy.

Linda Kadis began singing about the same time she started walking. She studied classical piano as a child and later took up the guitar as an accompaniment. But her real love was singing. She performed with the acoustic country/blues band Hand Picked and then started writing her own songs. She performed with several original rock bands in the 1980s around the San Francisco Bay Area and later in cover bands.

Lindas style is reminiscent of 80s singers Blondie and Pat Benatar but with a distinctive sound of her own. Her songs are musically compelling with memorable hooks and dance-beat grooves, New Wave and World Beat with a dash of punk. If you like strong rock/pop songs featuring tasteful arrangements and a bit of an edge, So Long Ago-Go is just the ticket.

And just to reinforce the 1980's connection, this release is a vinylCD, a tiny replica of a vinyl LP that plays like a CD. (So how does a black CD manage to play in a CD player? The laser that scans the CD uses a near-infrared wavelength, a wavelength below the visible range at which the dark polycarbonate is actually transparent.)
