<![CDATA[The adventures of a cover band in Europe in the 80's]]> https://rss.com/podcasts/the-adventures-of-a-cover-band-in-europe-in-the-80-s This is the story of a band called The Flyers that formed serendipitously in 1981 and set out to conquer the world. First stop was as a cover band working in Europe with the idea to earn enough money to simultaneously work on original material. Since most plans don't quite work out as expected, this was no exception. However the two narraters in this podcast did go on to have a success with several chart hits in little Denmark in the mid 1980's. This is the story told over a series of podcasts of the adventures, high points and low points, frustrations, punch-ups and challenges of life on the road.
