You Asked About "Mike and The Mechanics"

I went out and did some checking on this band and while I was not a big fan back in the 80s, I did like a couple of their songs. The interesting thing about looking into these bands you tend to learn something you never knew. In fact today, I learned something about the band that many of you probably already know. I had no idea that Mike is Mike Rutherford who was the guitarist for Genesis. That was an interesting little fact that I never knew.

The band is still around with a different line up but they just finished up a concert on Sept 5th at the University Of Surrey. Here is a link to their website They released a new album called "The Singles 1985-2013" which looks like a compilation of the old stuff and some new tracks.
