As promised in the last show of 2010, we're on the other side. 2011 is here. Not that I had anything to do with that, it kind of just happened.
This week marks the first new California Diner show of the year. And we're not resting on our laurels, either. We have a bit of New Wave greatness in our midst--Debora Iyall, of 1980's New Wave band Romeo Void, is our in-studio guest! This is not a test: this is the real thing!
How’s that you say? Well, as my good fortune would have it, Debora now lives right here in Sacramento. Imagine that--this musical treasure took the opposite route of many musicians--instead of moving AWAY from California's capital city to seek fame and fortune, she found fame and fortune, then moved TO Sacramento!
Debora and Romeo Void had several huge hits back in the day, including “Never Say Never” and “A Girl In Trouble (Is A Temporary Thing)”. Well, it’s nice to see that she’s back, and her songwriting and vocals are as strong as ever. She’s gone all indie on us, with the release of a great new solo album, “Stay Strong”. And that’s a good thing! Touches of New Wave, alternative, and even some acoustic sounds get you in the door, but the deep, insightful, and often playful lyrics keep you listening. And before you know it, you’ve blown through 11 tracks and want to start listening to this compelling disc all over again from the top.
We’ll chat with her, and ask the hard-hitting questions--such as "where did the name Romeo Void come from". And I'm pretty sure she's going to "stay strong" and answer them!
