The Vectors were from Fullerton, California. They first made their mark in 1979 by landing a spot with a novelty song called "Death To Disco" on the " Insane Darrell Wayne No Disco Album". After gaining airplay on
KROQ,
KNAC and several college radio stations, a permanent line-up was put together and they began gigging around Orange County, and Los Angeles. Although The Vectors earned a large following, major label success eluded them. I think sometime around 1981 they called it a day. I'm pretty sure their only releases were the Death To Disco Single, and this
EP. Other than the comp track listed above, Hey Kirby also appeared on the "The Up Another Octave Transmission" comp. They have a
Myspace , other than that there's not much on them.

The Night Brigade were a three piece, that appear to have been from NYC. I'm making that assumption because this was recorded at Blank Tapes Studio. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any other real info on the band. Both tunes are top notch Powerpop; making this a classic and a must own.
