A Total Eclipse of the Pathological Heart


Leonard Cohen recently pleaded with fellow musicians and fans to stop covering Hallelujah. It's hard to know what attracts an artist or group to make a cover; according to this list, it might just have to be something by The Beatles. A friend mentioned this excellent cover, the Pathological Lovers absolutely owning Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart. I don't know what's more fun - the fab band, the fact that it's apparently shot on someone's cellphone, or buddy at the end going 'Best song ever!'

Hi Joan!

Thanks for the mention. We did the cover for Jenny Gear's stagette. Then ended up (because we had learned it) doing it a couple more times - as is always the case.

We also covered Heart Of The Sunrise (YES) - which, I put forth, bonded the band 4 life. For better or worse.

Patrick Canning is the dude who captured TEOTH. He has a whole series of videos that he takes with his, I do believe, girlfriend's cel phone.

We will be releasing our first full length recording (Calling All Favors)on Dec 18th at the Rockhouse. You, our dear, will be on the door.
