it's the mod-revival revival



from the press release for Paradise's "Humans and Stars":


The Portland quintet took over a Portland Eagle's Lodge for the night and set up a Mod revival show complete with scooters and their friends dressed to the nines in retro attire.This is the official video for their second single "Humans and Stars" off of their first full-length album "Diary of an Old Soul." The video was shot mostly on Super 8 and directed by Michael Cogliantry. 

They sound more garage punk than mod to me, but whatever

it's a mod mod mod mod world

Indonesian mod revival band!

Japanese mods!

Swedish mods clash with Swedish rockers!

They do this every year apparently!


Apparently there's Mods in California today, or so someone told me, but all I could find was these things about the Eighties LA mod scene

and for dessert, the original revivalists, the class of 79
