comment: From the hard rock hotspot (/sarcasm) of Hays, Kansas comes Blind Date, a quartet who recorded this demo tape in their hometown and played clubs throughout the midwest in the mid-80s. Information beyond that is scarce - I know they headed to LA to record at least one single, but the fact that this demo tape is all that remains from Blind Date tells us that their brief foray to Hollywood obviously didn't work out.As you would probably expect from a locally-cut demo the sound quality on this one isn't the greatest, but through the muddy recording shines a pretty decent album of material that ranges from keyboard-oriented AOR to glammy hard rock. Kind of a low budget mix of Loverboy and early Bon Jovi.
