Gold Rush
From Rocklopedia Fakebandica
Jump to navigationJump to searchAll-girl rock quintet that auditions to play a school dance in the "My Son, The Prom Queen" episode (09 Jan 1980) of sitcom Eight is Enough. They win the audition, but only appear in the beginning of the episode. Main character Tommy Bradford (Willie Aames), who figured his band, (either Tijuana Tokyo or Tommy Bradford and the Action) had it in the bag, is super-annoyed. Being a male chauvinist pig about it, he decides to protest this upside-down, topsy-turvy world where girls can rock by... running for prom queen? Sure, Tommy, you do that. So he does, and wins.
