On this date in 1978, The Cuban Heels released their debut single, "Downtown". It was backed by "Do The Smok Walk". Neither track appeared on their debut album, Walk On Water. The Glasgow, Scotland post punk band was formed when Johnny and The Self-Abusers disbanded. John Milarkey formed The Cuban Heels and released one album and several singles, the last one in 1981. Jim Kerr and Charlie Burchill formed Simple Minds. They, of course, lasted a lot longer.
Not Downtown but...

About: The original Post Punk Progressive Pop Party (The P5) aired every Saturday night on 88.7FM WVHC (now WRHU) Radio Hofstra University in Hempstead, New York. Back in 1978, WVHC was among the first outlets (public or commercial) in the United States to promote what became the New Wave movement. This blog is a tribute to that show and all of the great music it exposed us to.
