Shame On Us Duo

12/08/2023

Hello Everyone! I've been digging in the VHS pile and found this little CPR Band diddy from the 1980's. I think this was at The Getaway. That isn't Rick on the drums back there. That's the incredible, amazing Al Hurry keeping up with us. Al worked with The CPR Band for several years and was instrumental in us landing the Bills tailgate party band gig with 97 Rock. I don't know who took this video but we sure are grateful. Obviously, the quality is 80's camcorder but it exists! This is excellent Friday afternoon music!!! Enjoy Paul on the guitar.

Hi Everyone, Here is a little diddy from the 1980's. The CPR Band played with a horn section under the name of The Perpetrators. This gig was at a popular club at the time called Howdy's. The video was taken by a fan with a cheap 8mm camera. Here is a decent version of Vehicle by The Ides of March. That's our beloved friend Rick McEvoy on drums and the Jims on horns. This band was one of the best lineups we had. Enjoy!

Hi Everyone. This is a demo song that Paul and I recorded a few years back. I edited this video to the music. It's a demo song so the recording isn't overly polished but it gets the point across. There is a good possibility that it will be removed due to it's content. It's worth putting on headphones! Please like and share to get this out there. Thanks!, Chris
