Cast the Heroes - Why by Alternative Weston published on 2012-03-31T08:32:19Z If any band defined 1984 in Weston, it was Cast the Heroes. Saturday nights at the Three Queens just wouldn't have been the same without Mark Ely and his troupe playing classics like Why and Ambition to a bunch of people with weird hair, pre-loaded on cheap cider and Liebfraumilch. Mark Ely (bass and vocals) Dave Eglington (guitar) Christian Riou (keyboards) Andy Holt (drums) Always on the edge of something big, Cast the Heroes never quite got there. But if the world was a just place, they would have been massive. Mark Ely continues to play with Eastertown. Christian Riou went on to great success, leading 90s goth rockers Claytown Troupe, with Andy Holt on drums. Genre Pop Comment by Matthew North This is a really great track. 2022-11-13T21:19:45Z
