VIDEO VAULT: Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing) - by Romeo Void
Video Vault is a new feature we're going to experiment with as an occasional post. PM writers will take turns posting vintage music videos of bands / entertainers they enjoy, share a snippet about it - such as why they like or hate the video, info about the band, etc. Focus will be on vintage videos (10 years & older). To kick things off, I selected "Girl in Trouble" by Romeo Void. The video was released in 1984. Romeo Void was a new wave/post punk band formed in San Francisco by four friends: Debora Iyall (singer - her name is pronounced "Day-Bo-Rah" as it's the American Indian pronunciation of it), Benjamin Bossi (saxophone), Frank Zincavage (bass guitar), and Peter Woods (lead guitar). Their first drummer quit shortly after their debut video of "Never Say Never". They went through several drummers until they found Aaron Smith, a professional session drummer. L to R: Aaron Smith, Debora Iyall, Peter Woods, Frank Zincavage, and Benjami
