The Silencers - Peter Gunn, Remote Control and Illegal descargar videos gratis
One of my earliest and most favorite videos I ever recorded. There's a better version here on YT which features the opening segment, but this one is still SO cool. It was recorded on "Rock World" in December of 1980. According to the band's Facebook page, the "concert" at the end was recorded Aug. 23, 1980 at the Acme Banana Company in the Strip District of Pittsburg. The songs are from the album "Rock 'N' Roll Enforcers". Here's a couple of info links about the band:

It's a shame they never made it big......especially the dancing cowboy at the end.....but he was already big! Anybody know if this was filmed in the Pittsburgh area?

Never saw this before. This band needs a compilation that spans the late 70s to early 90s.12 years ago

@66zep Glad to help out with your 31 year mystery! Be sure to check out the other copy of this video here on YT as it is slightly longer than the edited version I recorded back then. dave13 years ago

Rock World, I thought I was the only one who ever watched that show. I remember watching The Stranglers and being blown away at 10 years old. Love knowing I wasn't alone.14 years ago

Hi Malcolm. Glad you finally found this great song and video. There's an even more complete version of it here on YouTube on user "fncz"'s page which YT won't let me include the link to....weird. dave14 years ago

FINALLY!!!! I found this song, the video, the band who plays it. I've been looking for this song for over 20 years. I thought it was the british band the Specials. I never could find who sang this song because I was one of the few people in South Florida that had MTV or that use to listen to this kind of music. Thank you so much for posting this video and for me Thank you, my search is over!!!!14 years ago

I spent MANY Friday nights at Fat City in Swissvale watching the Silencers with the beautiful Linda D. from Heads Together. We'd "tune up" in the car before going inside - always totally packed with fans, great bar, great band, EXCELLENT times! I remember Larry working the door, Red the bouncer. These guys were awesome. I wish they wouldn't have tossed in the towel so quickly.14 years ago
