Most of you will know who La Peste are. Between 1977 and 1979 they were one of the top Punk bands in Boston and released one classic single. In 1979 their singer/guitarist Peter Dayton left the band to pursue a solo career. With that move came a change in musical style to a more New Wave/Pop sound. In 1981 he released his only solo record - a four song 12" ep produced by Ric Ocasek of The Cars - and had two song on the Sharp Cuts compilation LP. Here's a live radio broadcast from 1980. It's interesting to see that he plays one La Peste song - Hold On To Love - in the set. The sound quality is great.
