City of Roses - Seafood Mama

Since this is Rose Festival time I thought I would post this gem of a B-side, City of Roses by Seafood Mama, which would later become Quarterflash. Seafood Mama originally released "Harden My Heart" in the spring of 1980 (with the B-side track being "City of Roses"). "Harden My Heart" was a big hit on Portland radio stations and got the band a one-hour TV special, Seafood Mama In Concert, on KOIN on June 5, 1980. "Harden My Heart" would later be rerecorded by the band after they renamed themselves Quarterflash. The name came from an Australian slang description of new immigrants as "one quarter flash and three parts foolish". If you've never heard this song here is your chance.
