I just wanted to flash back &#8212; way back &#8212; and enjoy myself.<\/p>\n<p>That song and a few others by the iconic British band were played regularly in a dance club that I frequented back in the day in St. Louis. Whenever that song comes on the radio, even today, I turn it up and sing along.<\/p>\n<p>But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/m0dernenglish?ref=br_tf\" target=\"_blank\">Modern English<\/a> had and has a whole body of work in addition to that iconic single, and it was thrilling last night to enjoy their performance here, which was produced by<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/MusicFileProductions\" target=\"_blank\"> MusicFile Productions<\/a>, the parent company of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.savannahstopover.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Savannah Stopover<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.revivalfest.org\/\" target=\"_blank\">Revival Fest<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>And it wasn&#8217;t just thrilling because of the nostalgia. Modern English played a tight set, seemed to enjoy their classics, threw in a few strong originals, and generally just tore it up for well over an hour in the hot and humid old warehouse space.<\/p>\n<p>All that, and lead singer Robbie Grey wore a Tom of Finland t-shirt.
