Terry Hughes & The Backyard Party - Hey Leo - Your Fool





In my never ending quest to find all musical things New Jersey i have unearthed this weird little private Rock nugget. It was recorded at Trax East in South River N.J. by a good friend of mine Eric Rachel. it kinda has a somewhat Punk or Punky vibe. And I'm sure if it was from 1978 instead of 1984 it would be a high dollar KBD? (Ha Ha) item. Either way I'm lost on the Hey Leo "where'd you get the hat" joke. But it aint too bad of a tune. Your Fool is a more straight up Power Pop (poop) tune. Not too shabby. I kinda dig it. It sounds a little bit like Ace Frehley from KISS on vocals.... Looks like he has another 7 inch from 1981 but I've never seen or heard it. Got any info?

Awesome too that it was recorded by Eric Rachel. I don't know him at all, but it would be great to talk to him and see if he remembers and what he has to say about it.

Didn't see you already posted this one. Terry has three singles - this is his second - and was also originally the guitarist in Jigs & The Pigs.

First single is here:

I'll probably post the third single soon just for completion sake. The chorus to one side is just 'Don't Talk To Me' with different lyrics

How funny... I randomly googled the lyrics to Hey Leo when it popped into my head out of nowhere. I first heard it about 10-12 years ago on WFMU... Crazy eh?
