Know many people aren't going to believe me but the woman singing is my fraternal aunt! I knew she had a thing going on in Europe at one point but I never knew it was this big! I don't see her anymore but damn is this a way to keep a memory alive!!!

I saw them at the Rising Sun in Yonkers N.Y. when I was 16 years old, in 1984! 😀

This is a blast from my past! I use to jam with maryann in a studio in the Bronx

i remember this band she had a great voice

Yeah" that shreiking screams of the day ruined many from being successfull.Cool to watch these bands! man I was a big part of that whole 80"s trip and I miss it very bad!!

Wow, never thought I'd see a Blacklace video on KZfaq. Thanks!

Back then I was with Polish heavy metal band TSA We performed during the same Shock Wave metal festival You can check two our vids from that gig TSA Race Machine Hero & TSA Marathon Runner I'm the guy wearing short pants Man, it brings memories! We and them were touring clubs together promoting our albums released by Belgian metal label Mausoleum They were great people, very friendly, it was too bad for us, 'cause non of us spoke English back then We communicated through translator

I found this band in a really dumb way, and have ended up getting really invested in them and their history, albeit with a very limited amount of information available. From what I've been able to gather, the band was started by Maryann Scandiffio in 1981, in America. With her joined two brothers, Anthony and Carlo Fragnito, as well as Steve "Budgie" Werner on drums. What the band was doing between 1981-1983 I am unsure of, but in 1984 they released Unlaced, their first album, and later in 1985 "Get It While It's Hot", which would also have a promotional video of their single "I Like To Rock". In 1987 the band would end up disbanding due to complications with their record label shutting down, as well as facing lawsuits following unknown incidents at live shows. Maryann Scandiffio would end up chasing a solo career, and joined/created a few other bands, but none seemed to garner any sort of success, which is a shame. Where she is now I have no idea, and trust me, I have looked far and wide across the web trying to find out about anything, but there's quite literally nothing of her since the 90s. Steve "Budgie" Werner has a somewhat active Instagram account, where he seems to be playing drums for some smaller, more local bands. The Fragnito boys I'm not entirely sure of. According to Discorgs, they did some small stuff after Blacklace, and both would join Steve for a short while for a small project, that again, didn't seem to go anywhere. There were rumors that the band did get together again in the early 2000's to discuss a possible reunion, but clearly nothing happened there. Curiously though, the compilation album "Unlaced + Get It While It's Hot" released in 2002, so maybe that happened because of this. If anyone knows anything more about the band or its members, I'd be super excited to hear about it!

love this song...hell it's a great album.

This is something the "record and tape guy" at Yonkers Raceway Flea Market would have carried! Recall seeing their video for 'I Like To Rock' on the classic U-68 Power Hour.

Used to follow this group around all the time. Them and Talas. Loved it. Tight stuff.
