Press Release January 1998

Three Chord City by the Cold has just been released on Top Pop Records. The 26-song, 71-minute compact disc is an anthology of the band's 1980-1984 studio recordings.

The Cold was New Orleans' most popular band in the early 1980's, playing an uptempo style of pop music that drew both from the 60's British invasion and the late 70's new wave movement. Two of the band's singles, "You" and "Mesmerized", charted in the top 20 on several local commercial radio stations.

The CD features all ten songs from the Cold's five singles, plus tracks from the band's two albums. It also includes two previously unreleased songs and two songs previously available as live tracks.

Three Chord City is available for $15.00 (check or money order / postage paid) from:
