Wacky Post-Punk New Wave 70s & 80s Music performed by a bunch of guys who looked like Physics Majors.
The Trend was a unique but, alas, unknown post-punk/new wave rock band from 1979-1981 around the L.A. and Southern California area. Having risen from the dead (well, a prolonged middle age stupor anyway), various ex-members got together three times for a 20 year reunion in 1999, 2000 & 2001 with the plan of producing/releasing a CD retrospective/oral history of their greatest hits that never were, as well as recording songs for a reunion CD! This has yet to be completed a decade later but may yet see the light of day before the end of this decade! Numerous mp3 song downloads, additional vintage and recent photos, fliers, used condoms (just kidding) and inane commentary will be added soon. So stay tuned (not that our guitars ever did)!
