Christmas in Springboro
Santa arrives at the Dayton mall
Craig Schrolucke and Alexis Larsen are good buddies who love a trendy hot spot as much as they do a worn out hole in the wall provided the service is as good as the items being served up. They also love bar talk and all that it entails and are more than happy to belly up to this bar blog and do just that.

A Flock of Seagulls brings new wave
New wave doesn’t begin to describe the pulsating synth beats on tunes like “I Ran (So Far Away)” and “Space Age Love Song” from A Flock of Seagulls, the second band to the Fraze SummerFest stage. Lead singer Mike Score’s distinctive cascading hairstyle (see photo from back in the day below), which has been referenced in pop culture for years in productions ranging from innocuous television shows like “Friends” to more controversial fare like “Pulp Fiction,” may have toned down to a long braid behind beind his head, but thankfully the sound hasn’t toned down any (although it did get a little flat on certain notes). Score was the only one from the original line-up there, backed by three new guys. One thought: Most of these bands really don’t have much more than two or three good songs to their name, but they’re the kind of tunes that get stuck in your head really easily and camp out there until the next band takes the stage.
Parting thought: “And I ra-a-an, I ran so far awa-a-ay….” You’ll be singing that to yourself all day. No need to thank us, thank A Flock of Seagulls and check out that hair!
