Hi Adrien, I'd really like to get in contact with you to talk about a documentary project on your father's work. My email address is listed on my page. Hope to hear from you. Thanks, Conner.
I remember watching them. Boston in the very early 80's. Love love love this song. I was following the Gluons at the time and later married the bass player from the Gluons. That was a great time for local music in Boston.
my sisters and I LOVED seeing Lou Dog at the Channel! I remember the little plastic cosmetics bags they would give out if you got there early, they were filled with makeup, such fun times and great memories! RIP dude you're a Boston icon!
This is so cool............RIP Lou Miami.........and Jack...........shame........... I came across this band one fun evening at Jack's in Cambridge....... Lou was quite a unique individual...... I just love watching him....He ALWAYS stopped the crowd dead in their tracks and got them going............too bad he is no longer with us :( Great video.......He will live on............... For what it's worth....I actually like 'this' version better than the 2nd version...........
YASSSS!!!! Jack's in Union Square!!!! EVERYbody with brilliance played there. I saw Lou Miami, The Dark, and Throwing Muses there literally every time they played Jack's for several years.
hey hey adrien, i grew up between boston and providence. graduated from high school in 1976. had more great nights than i can count watching your father play at the living room and lupos in providence. my wife and i, poor as could be tried pulling off having your dad and band play at our wedding reception in 1982. we ran short of cash about two weeks before the date and to cancel. one of the (not huge but you know what i mean) regrets because it would have been a bragging right. do well. thanks.
I was telling everyone I knew from Boston... this singer was incredibly fun and captivating on stage. But I also couldn't remember the name. Today I just found an old cassette with some favorite Boston bands, that I compiled. LOU MIAMI, THE DIGMATICS AND TRIBE... RODS AND CONES, THE HERITIX, SHE CRIED AND BIG CLOCK. I got to work with some great local acts at Newbury Sound and WBCN. So much great music in the city at that time.
What I would give to see Lou Miami and the Kozmetics tonight. I saw Lou a million times in the old days, I remember him opening for Iggy Pop and after his set Iggy walked on Stage and kissed hime on the mouth.
I just found a compilation Cassette 😳 as I pack my home up to move outta' Oregon. And this made me happy. Took me right back to the Boston Music Scene. I was pretty involved for a minute there. I loved what Lou Miami was doing. And so many great startups that I got to see or even work with to some degree. Big Clock, was one I tried like heck to get signed. Gave a CD to Ric Ocasek. When out to LA and into Island Records. But they enjoyed it and felt they couldn't figure where it would fit on their label. They also mentioned that all their budget is tied to a little band called U2. And they had that sound a bit too much. Tribe was a band I thought would break big... as well as The Stompers. And The Digmatics. I talked with Letters to Cleo, after I moved to LA. But the broke a little bit after the soundtrack work. Rods and Cones, the Heritics got signed and did The Hammer of Reality tour. When the record labels were just signing bands for tax write offs. ✍ it broke my heart with so many acts on the Edge of breaking big. Great memories of great music thoug.
I know it was in harvard square and i think the club was Father's 2 or Fathers's 4. Just happened to wander in and i was blown away. I remember lou looked so cool. He did this song and i can still remember like yesterday. 'ahhm, ahhm dancin' with death..oh no..don't look at mah face....
They wouldn’t know what to do with it. They may possibly try and sample, cover, or exploit it...But poseurs have a specific smell. Not unlike Hipsters. So the legitimates will smell ‘em coming (sorry that’s so gross. I wish there was a more elegant way to word it...but I sure as hell didn’t design hipsters or invent poseurs or they wouldn’t exist and the only smell we’d deal with is constant fog machines 🚬🐁🖤✖️✖️✖️🤴🏻🥊🧠🪓✖️✖️✖️🚬🐁🖤
The only person as cool as Lou (who causes my heart to throb until my eyes pop out of my head in heart-shaped cartoon googles), is the love of my life-my husband-my soulmate-my loner of a rebel...- -Pee-Wee Herman- -screw HER (Pee-Wee MYman)
2 months late but here they are! :) [Verse 1] I hear the music from far away How strange the music sounds to me It seems my partner must be late I wait 'till my partner comes for me [Verse 2] There's time - time to run out of time I see the mist rise out of the sea A voice moans an answer to mine Cold arms slowly wrap around me [Chorus] I'm, I'm dancing with death Oh no, don't look at my face I'm, I'm dancing with death Oh no, don't look at my face [Verse 1] [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Chorus]
Good. Get that D off of the end of the first word and (always remember the 90’s of course butttt) bring this shit with you bump it up back and forth into Present Day. Listen to it every day. (Just in case you didn’t know you needed to or you weren’t doing this already) I’m on a rampage. 12 thumbs down on this. I am shocked with humiliation for these 12 sore thumbs. Poor unfortunate Purgatory-Stationed... Souls(?) .
@richyrollins Hi Richy, I was a close friend of Lou's at the time of his death. For the record he did not die of "natural causes", he died of a heart attack in his apartment. Weak hearts ran in all the men in his family and in fact his father and grandfather before him both died of heart attacks at relatively young ages as well.
i look at the people in the graveyard scene and think i may know a few of them. Lets not discount the fact that Lou was a gay icon in an age where that took balls.
[Verse 1] I hear the music from far away How strange the music sounds to me It seems my partner must be late I wait 'till my partner comes for me [Verse 2] There's time - time to run out of time I see the mist rise out of the sea A voice moans an answer to mine Cold arms slowly wrap around me [Chorus] I'm, I'm dancing with death Oh no, don't look at my face I'm, I'm dancing with death Oh no, don't look at my face [Verse 1] [Chorus] [Verse 2] [Chorus]
I don't think so. I know they played 100 Years from today we shot with Lou. But I've never seen a different version of Dancing with Death. His manager Joan may have produced one - but it's never been anywhere that I could find.
Whoever put a thumbs down on this...That’s just soooo embarrassing. It’s basically a public confession saying “I am an idiot. Hi! I don’t have taste and I’m so jealous that this song exists and is the most clearly painted reminder that I will never be cool. I’ll give it a thumbs down to show how confident I am because I “understand” music. Hahaha it’s so blasphemous to put thumbs down on this. I can’t even handle how embarrassed I am for those 12 people’s existence. This isn’t an opinion-type situation. This song basically trumps all other songs and defines cool and stirs every rad feeling that lives within me...even ones I didn’t know I had. This is a revolutionary piece. To not like it is to say “Let’s watch El Topo instead of Serial Mom”. Like get over it. You best stop thinking you’re an intellectual because no ones likes an intellectual (a self-proclaimed one, especially). Stop thinking you have taste. Turn off El Topo and turn off the computer. Turn off Surfbort. Listen to this song only and pop Serial Mom into the VHS after flushing Holy Mountain down the Whole Foods toilet. If you think you need to watch something artsy, stop thinking; watch Clerks and shut the fuck up. You’re never getting laid again. Only listen to this song and your luck may change. I honestly am giving good advice. Trying to help the Tarded Twelve. Twist their Lil titmice into a Sister until they’re Twisted Sister. Buy a shirt that says Motörhead and then please please please...GO TO BED! Don’t go on the internet or outside or do anything until you can admit to yourself that you only put a thumbs down on this to feel self-reighteous. Look doofus doce:. No one will ever be as cool as Miami and no song could ever be as cool as this song. Embarace it as much as possible and embody it the best you can. If you’re unwilling to accept the Truth I speak here, you might want to consider hard drugs, medication, or at least give your stereo system away to someone who can comprehend the importance of this. Which shouldn’t be difficult. It’s laid out for you from the first beat to the closing note. Maybe even pull a Van Gough. Send your ear to...hell, me. I’ll taxidermy that shit and hang it up and my wall of the Damned.

I am his son, Adrien - it is surreal and great to see his online presence these days!
Hi Adrien, I'd really like to get in contact with you to talk about a documentary project on your father's work. My email address is listed on my page. Hope to hear from you. Thanks, Conner.
Watched your dads band at Harpos in Newport RI many times. Great memories! Be well.
I remember watching them. Boston in the very early 80's. Love love love this song. I was following the Gluons at the time and later married the bass player from the Gluons.
That was a great time for local music in Boston.
What's your dad doing these days?
I still love this song . It brings me back to the 1980s. Thanks for posting it.
The DJ at this show I was at the other night played this song and I've been playing it on repeat ever since.
Wow! May I ask what club and where?
my sisters and I LOVED seeing Lou Dog at the Channel! I remember the little plastic cosmetics bags they would give out if you got there early, they were filled with makeup, such fun times and great memories! RIP dude you're a Boston icon!
no, there was no one cooler that lou miami. saw him do this song at a club in Cambridge many years ago. i wish i could go back to that time.
I think you’ll like my comment. It’s the most recent one. Check it if you feel up to it...8 years after you wrote this
Lol
@@sarahbranham945 What comment? Why didn't you just write it here...4 years after you wrote that.
There was a stretch where I went to every Lou Miami gig for about a year and a half, Lou was Magnificent, as was Jack.
Thanks again TH-cam. TH-cam is your Jewish friend with all the sick records and bootlegs.
This is so cool............RIP Lou Miami.........and Jack...........shame...........
I came across this band one fun evening at Jack's in Cambridge.......
Lou was quite a unique individual......
I just love watching him....He ALWAYS stopped the crowd dead in their tracks and got them going............too bad he is no longer with us :(
Great video.......He will live on...............
For what it's worth....I actually like 'this' version better than the 2nd version...........
YASSSS!!!! Jack's in Union Square!!!! EVERYbody with brilliance played there. I saw Lou Miami, The Dark, and Throwing Muses there literally every time they played Jack's for several years.
In college we had a food service company called Danka. We used to sing oh I"m, I"m dining with Danka. Oh no....no.. don't eat the food. Good memories.
Lou played at my brother Joe's wedding at Cantone's in Boston. Was a great time!
What a great memory of that club! Really so cool he played for your brother!
hey hey adrien, i grew up between boston and providence. graduated from high school in 1976. had more great nights than i can count watching your father play at the living room and lupos in providence. my wife and i, poor as could be tried pulling off having your dad and band play at our wedding reception in 1982. we ran short of cash about two weeks before the date and to cancel. one of the (not huge but you know what i mean) regrets because it would have been a bragging right. do well. thanks.
what a great time seeing lou miami and the kosmetix back in the day
We miss you, Lou. 💗
I FINALLY found this! I had this on vinyl early 80’s but could not remember who the artist was.
I was telling everyone I knew from Boston... this singer was incredibly fun and captivating on stage. But I also couldn't remember the name. Today I just found an old cassette with some favorite Boston bands, that I compiled. LOU MIAMI, THE DIGMATICS AND TRIBE... RODS AND CONES, THE HERITIX, SHE CRIED AND BIG CLOCK. I got to work with some great local acts at Newbury Sound and WBCN. So much great music in the city at that time.
Inman Square, Rathskellar, Canterbury Pub (Grovers)... Lou was a genius.
I was a big fan, loved his shows in early 80s. Great songs, great performances.
Same here!
Cool Dad! Great Music! I love this song.
loved lou miami.used to see him at the living room in prov.,r.i.love "dancing with death".RIP Lou
The living room.... :)
miss the living room!! used to be my home away from home!! so many awesome memories!!
What I would give to see Lou Miami and the Kozmetics tonight. I saw Lou a million times in the old days, I remember him opening for Iggy Pop and after his set Iggy walked on Stage and kissed hime on the mouth.
Man, glenn greenwald was really cool =)
RIP Lou, I have such a crush on you
I just found a compilation Cassette 😳 as I pack my home up to move outta' Oregon. And this made me happy. Took me right back to the Boston Music Scene. I was pretty involved for a minute there.

a little band called U2, lol...
Fabulous- love seeing Annie too
Harpo’s Newport RI. Many times. Never disappointed.
He was an awesome entertainer!
saw him at the Rat several times..have some cherish photos...so sad to hear he passed on
I'm dancing with death, oh, no, don't look at my face. ♡
One of the best Boston bands evah!
Saw them in 1982?1983? Still remember....
OH YEAH ~ wow, still holds up just as awesome as ever. don't look at mah face!
Just came across this first time. That was pretty epic! Thanks!
I watch this every day
I support this. In fact, I find it to be an essential lifestyle choice. Without doing this...you may have a life, but certainly no Style
;^
I know it was in harvard square and i think the club was Father's 2 or Fathers's 4. Just happened to wander in and i was blown away. I remember lou looked so cool. He did this song and i can still remember like yesterday. 'ahhm, ahhm dancin' with death..oh no..don't look at mah face....
i watch a shitload of videos, but i always seem to come back to lou miami at the end of the night. young kids know nothing of lou's talent.
Still suffering from a beating I took at one of his shows, but good times.
If it was the Rat I got one there also
me maybe, I thinking Beach Comber...maybe twice.
LOL! (Sorry. I am impressed you still love the band. I probably would too!)
que jolla.. this is a jam thank you for uploading it .. hope the hipsters don't get hold of this gem..
They wouldn’t know what to do with it. They may possibly try and sample, cover, or exploit it...But poseurs have a specific smell. Not unlike Hipsters. So the legitimates will smell ‘em coming (sorry that’s so gross.

Happy you found it!
I believe the club in Harvard Square mentioned below was "Jonathan Swift's."
someone below commented that lou looks like marilyn manson. i see more pee wee herman and boy george.
😂👍
both more favorable comparisons. But "Don't look at my face!!!!!!"
people would bring pics of peewee and put them on the monitors so he could see him.Lou was polite about it but wasn't too happy about it.
The only person as cool as Lou (who causes my heart to throb until my eyes pop out of my head in heart-shaped cartoon googles), is the love of my life-my husband-my soulmate-my loner of a rebel...- -Pee-Wee Herman- -screw HER (Pee-Wee MYman)
great to see the video to this, thanks !
This makes me soooo happy
Super obsessed with this song
It’s the only option. I feel you. Anyone who isn’t I am frankly not interested in knowing even as a distant acquaintance.
Perfect song for goths
@moosecurrybelmont You were lucky to have the experience. He was very special.
TurboDojo brought me here ❤️
I miss Lou
When I see Lou Miami, I think of Greg Sage. When I see Greg Sage, I think of Lou Miami.
Great song
saw him in late 70s early 80s in Fathers Two in Harvard Square. Never forget it.
So happy you like it so much, it was a labor of love...
This is excellent work.
Thanks for watching Russell!
¿lyrics? pleeaaaseee, i really love this song
2 months late but here they are! :)
[Verse 1]
I hear the music from far away
How strange the music sounds to me
It seems my partner must be late
I wait 'till my partner comes for me
[Verse 2]
There's time - time to run out of time
I see the mist rise out of the sea
A voice moans an answer to mine
Cold arms slowly wrap around me
[Chorus]
I'm, I'm dancing with death
Oh no, don't look at my face
I'm, I'm dancing with death
Oh no, don't look at my face
[Verse 1]
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
[Chorus]
The Big Guy on WMWM 91.7 fm made you famous to us 1980ish ... XOXO
loved this song in the 9'T's
Good. Get that D off of the end of the first word and (always remember the 90’s of course butttt) bring this shit with you bump it up back and forth into Present Day. Listen to it every day.
(Just in case you didn’t know you needed to or you weren’t doing this already)
I’m on a rampage. 12 thumbs down on this. I am shocked with humiliation for these 12 sore thumbs. Poor unfortunate Purgatory-Stationed... Souls(?) .
Cool
fire recommended
Boston's finest
Wow that's awesome! I saw Lou Miami a bunch of times at Cantonese by Fanuel hall in Boston.

i seriously thought this was spectres from vancouver canada until a couple of weeks ago.
best fuckin' song.
Totally agree, it was a labor of love making the video.
Was there anyone cooler than Lou Miami? i think not.
FUCK NO
Not an opinion . SUCH A CLEAR AND Simple situation you couldn’t not know if you tried... and of course this is FACT. painfully obvious FACT, at that
cool
Nobody hipped me to this dude
new london connecticut, 70's
super rocket torpedo to underground
Don't look at meeeee
Hey Lou are you still alive? It's the bass player from the vectors!
Was this song on MTV Basement tapes with a different video?
I don't think so. I know they played 100 Years from today we shot with Lou. But I've never seen a different version of Dancing with Death. His manager Joan may have produced one - but it's never been anywhere that I could find.
ProdValues I found a snippet of the other video in the 30 go interview with Lou Miami video. Thank you for your message.
anyone have a link to guitar tabs for this song?
Best Part: 2:39 - 2:55
Thanks - at the time believe it or not - it was a complicated move. Not anymore
@@ProdValues I can imagine.
Anyway, this video is still more charming than many others made with modern/advanced gears!
I know that this will be a stupid and predictable comment, but...
The moments around
1:57 and 2:29 and 3:23 and 3:37
are quite interesting too!
the title should be: Dance With Death
Turbo Dojo
What year is this?
It was either 1983 or 1984
Whoever put a thumbs down on this...That’s just soooo embarrassing. It’s basically a public confession saying “I am an idiot. Hi!

Like get over it. You best stop thinking you’re an intellectual because no ones likes an intellectual (a self-proclaimed one, especially). Stop thinking you have taste. Turn off El Topo and turn off the computer. Turn off Surfbort.
Listen to this song only and pop Serial Mom into the VHS after flushing Holy Mountain down the Whole Foods toilet. If you think you need to watch something artsy, stop thinking; watch Clerks and shut the fuck up.
You’re never getting laid again. Only listen to this song and your luck may change. I honestly am giving good advice. Trying to help the Tarded Twelve.

how prophetic seeing in 1995 Lou died from AHEM! NATURAL CAUSES!
Marilyn Manson's little brother "Biff" Manson.
😄
Lou Miami looks so much like Marilyn Manson...or the other way around...it is not funny.
Lou was Gay he has a kid? WTF
Don't be such an idiot. Gay people who want children find their ways to have children. The End.
You know that person who told you the world is black and white? Well, they were lying.
