And a nice review of 'One Night':
The Plimsouls One Night in America..(Oglio, 2005).... The Plimsouls have been thrown into the ..power-pop.. category by just about everyone and their brother, but if you ask me these guys were some of the only guys holding down pure, soulful rock n.. roll during a time period (the 80..s) when the genre seemed to be lost. The Plimsouls were basically the British Invasion for the new-wave era. There are also very few bands that do not put out a mediocre album throughout their career span .. this is one of those bands. Album after album is filled with straight forward guitar-punching party-worthy rock n.. roll that has been absent as a whole for years now. There was one thing absent throughout all the band..s albums .. the live experience. The Plimsouls are one of those bands it..s been rumored that, ..unless you have heard them live, you haven..t heard a thing... With the release of One Night in America (no one is really sure where it was recorded, in the liner notes Peter Case guesses it was in Cleveland) an album captures the essence of a live band in their prime .. something very few live albums are capable of doing. Everyone was on top of their game, rocking songs from ..Hush Hush.. to a cover of the Outsider..s ..Time Won..t Let Me..(which has never sounded better, not even the original itself). If you haven..t heard anything live that knocks your socks off in a while, go pick this up. It..s a definitive album of a band that can play to a tiny crowd and rock harder than a band filling an arena with 100,000 strong. Doesn..t matter the size of the crowd, it..s what you do with it.

This is Kool:
Reunited Plimsouls in fine, high-energy form
Reuters Mon Jun 26, 2006 9:25pm ET
By Darryl Morden
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - This was not a show for the kids, though some joined their rock elders from the Los Angeles music scene of the early 1980s at the El Rey Theater on Friday for a hearty set by the reunited Plimsouls. The brisk, charged-up, 75-minute set surely left the old folks feeling decades younger.
For most of the country, the Plimsouls were the band that appeared in the cult teen flick "Valley Girl" and scored a New Wave hit of sorts with "A Million Miles Away," a song that is still a must on '80s mix CDs.
But there has always been much more to this tough-rocking power pop band. The group proved that a decade ago in its first short-lived reunion and did it again this time out, as original singer-guitarist Peter Case, guitarist Eddie Munoz and bassist David Pahoa were joined by new drummer Bryan Head.
Wearing a sport coat and a fedora that was on and off all night, Case clearly enjoyed the chance to shed his usual solo folk-blues troubadour persona to do some howling for a change. Coiffed in a Beatlesque haircut that made him look half his age, Munoz was positively giddy, slashing away at his aqua-hued guitars and even dropping to his knees for some axe-hero moves. Pahoa remained sturdy on the rhythm and offered up some harmony vocals as he stayed in sync with the Keith Moon-like drum detonations of Head.
Young punk-poppers today would kill for songs as fine and lasting as "Great Big World," the reverberating "Everyday Things" and the urgently ringing "Now," filled with punchy power chording, solid beats and surging melodies descended from British Invasion bands and Bob Dylan.
The group really caught fire midway with some scorching guitar interplay between Case and Munoz for the title track of the 1983 album "Everywhere at Once." Other highlights included the bittersweet midtempo ballad "Oldest Story in the World," as Munoz's tears-of-betrayal guitar solo answered Case's plaintive accusing vocals.
Among the choice cover numbers were a rave-up of the Easybeats' "Women (Make You Feel Alright)" and the crooked walk of Television's "Glory."
To close out the regular set, Case strapped on the cherished Rickenbacker 12-string guitar stolen from him 20 years ago and only recently returned, and the band then launched into the full-tilt jangle-rush of "A Million Miles Away."
An encore run was capped by a wild-and-woolly "Dizzy Miss Lizzie," more Lennon and the Beatles than Larry Williams, with a stop-down as Case went for some John Lee Hooker growls. It was all just part of playtime for the band and its longtime fans.
