Video Lips was more of a conceptual band than an actual performing band that existed in the mid 1980s. The group was the "brain child" of drummer and lyricist/songwriter Joe Iannacone who passed away in 2004 after a long illness. That is Joe in the photo at the wedding of John and Julie Viola (John was also a "Video Lip"). The songs here were taken off of a vinyl EP (four song) record, and thus, explains the pops and other oddities you may notice. For those of us who helped Joe with this project hearing these recordings again brings back some fond memories of a time when it was just plain fun to write a song and take it to the studio!
