about

The Colors were formed in 1979 by Paul Sass on guitar and Tommy Cookman on lead vocals. Robert Vickers joined the group on bass almost immediately after arriving in NY from Australia. Taking notes from the Ramones (and sometimes the Bay City Rollers), the band played short and fast sets. The band quickly earned their stripes, impressing CBGB owner Hilly Kristal so much that he signed on as their manager and booked them regularly. One of the owners of Infinite Records on Mercer Street, where Tommy worked, liked them so much that he decided to start a record label and put out the band's "Rave It Up" EP. Clem Burke of Blondie saw the band's potential as well and agreed to produce the record and filled in on drums. The original EP, on five different colors of vinyl quickly sold out. Videos were made of"Jealousy" and "Growing Up American” - a backdrop of the video was spray painted by Basquiat! . The band received college airplay, mentions in teen magazines and played a lot until they disbanded as each member went on to new things.
