I saw The Squares open a show for a band called "415"
in 1983-84. That famous guitarist is of course Joe
Satriani, but their sound bares no resemblance to his
solo career. I thought they were pretty good...nice
sound, but no songs really grabbed me
415 on the other hand was to be the 'next big thing'.
Their sound was very Todd R...I had high hopes for
them...they were recording an album with Gregg Rolie
producing, which never appearred (as far as I know).
415 morphed into the Eric Martin Band...and Eric
Martin later found some fame with Mr. Big. The sound
of 415 was nothing like Mr. Big.

I'm a sucker for those radio station
battle-of-the-bands comps.
Mostly bad songs by worse bands but occassionally
containing a cut or two
worth the $buck and time & effort. This time a genuine
rarity among bar band
crud - the only issued tune from power-pop trio The
Squares. I don't remember
them but they used to share bills with the Rubinoos so
I must have seen them
once. They existed from 79 to 84, when the guitarist
went off to solo fame.
