Africa!

This song was recorded in October 1986 at club Chez Mimo in a town called Pinetamare, Italy, otherwise known as Villagio Coppola. The name of the band was Tous, and I was the bass player. I spent all of my free time after school and on weekends during my senior year at Naples American High School rehearsing and performing with the band. The guitar and keyboard players Pierpaulo and Gianni are italian, and the drummer and singer Marco and Mike are italian-american. This is one of several songs we wrote and performed. The Tarzan part on this song was kind of weird to me at first, but the crowd seemed to enjoy it, so we kept it.

This is the first track on MuFi that I've really liked.

Good energy, I especially like the freak-out part with the reverbed talking vocals.

This is really good man. My fave of all your Tous stuff.

Weren't you like 16 or 17? Too cool, you really should hit the scene again.

Your bass has a Mike Watt drive to it too. I love that.
