AlbumTalk: The Archers

2811076913_5739204b02

 

I am not gonna lie, there was a point in my life when I had a pair of white lace up, heeled granny boots like these. And I may have had the brunetter version of this girls hair too. AND I may have even worn them with a pink outfit really really similar to this. But I never walked around in Tron land with two curly-mullet-sportin guys who decided to forgo their shirts and just wear the jackets commando. Look closely- that is a gold chain on the blue guy, and yes those are blue Reeboks. Clearly Mr. Squishy boots  is the fashion forward guy in the group. After all- he is in the middle.

 

Update: I like to Google AFTER I write the post- cuz I am lazy just to mix it up. And it turns out  The Archers were a very successful Jesus group of 2 brothers and 1 sisters (guess which is which).

And guess what? They just re-released one of their earlier albums. And you can listen to them here. 

Is it sad to say it totally brought me back to the early 80’s Christian rock I thought WAS SO COOL while hangin out in my youth group as a pre-teen?

Of course it was the same music I thought was SO LAME as soon as I left youth group too.

But I would’ve started praying to Buddah just to have Ms. Archer’s killer hair styles through the years….

….can you smell the Aqua Net?

It looks like they really adjusted their looks with the times. Weird but the girl in the pink doesn’t look all that bad by 80s standards but the guys look just awful.

They totally rocked the 1972 cover (the B&W one) but they should have taken an early retirement right then. By the time they got to “All Systems Are Go” they seem to have . . . gone.

I’m pretty sure I remember them too! No particular song comes to mind though. I will just have to check out that sight and rock out to them again. I was not even cool in the 80′s. Though my hair was big enough. And I had the mullet.

is it me, or does the girl look a lot like blair from “the facts of life”?
