To me, the Columbus OH transplants Blue were the great lost band of the late 80s-early 90s Philly and one of my fave bands period of that time. They played out regularly and most often upstaged the touring name post-hardcore /proto-grunge bands they supported when not making them look silly. Blue were not very ambitious as far as releasing recordings or touring (although being ambitious in Bad Old Days Philadelphia didn’t do you much good) but were incredibly prolific as far as they would roll over their sets within a space of 3-4 shows and if their home tapes and board tapes were ever catalogued it would # dozens upon dozens of killer songs and spontaneous live improv. Only a few singles and comp tracks released . As close as a post-hardcore version of Void as you are going to get

Andrew Shapiro who played drums for Blue in 89-90 sent me these files (Thanks Andrew) I have a copy of the demo and was meaning to digitize it but now I  don’t have to do that. Plus as an added bonus he included 4 songs when they played on Jackie’s show on WKDU.
Later lineup for the album and later 7″s was
DaVid LoWe – VoCaLs, GTR
DaN – GTR, moog
P.K. – baSS, VoCaLs
JohN KuTZ – dRuMs
