    • THEY'VE TOURED EUROPE, JAPAN, CHINA AND AUSTRALIA AND NOW...NEW YORK CITY (AND BROOKLYN)!!!!



      This is London’s greatest and most sensational Rhythm’n’Blues-Punk band. And this is a band that truly represents London, being a mongrel mix of Caribbean, France, Japan, Wales and the newly-arrived sax man from Mexico. (I know that adds up to five but that’s irrelevant!) With a repertoire influenced by many of the great songs of the ’50s and ’60s made to sound fresh and new to modern ears, you won’t be able to help but move your feet when the Cumberland Three are blasting out of your speakers. The King howls like Screaming Jay Hawkins with Bo Diddley chasing his coat-tail whilst Andre Williams tries to offer up some of his bacon fat, and the Trashman do the Surfin' Bird behind him. This is a man that never stops shakin’ and twistin’ and groovin’. The Cumberland Three (former members of punk rock bands, including The Parkinsons) rock up a storm with their own branded mix of vintage rockabilly, desperate rock’n’roll and stomping soul, with fire, energy, gusto and, above all, fun! Their numerous vinyl singles and their debut album have sold like the proverbial hot cakes and their latest offering "Cookin' Up a party!" is sure to do the same. This is an old fashioned singles band, one that puts out one seven inch after another, all designed, and guaranteed, to get you dancing like a madman – and both sides of their new long playing platter are sure to do the same, with one hit record coming one after another.

      The band has played pretty much everywhere in Europe, plus Australia and Japan, and more recently in China (Shanghai, Beijing, Nanjing, Wuhan, and elsewhere from big cities to rural villages) and have shared a stage with the likes of the Standells, Pretty Things, Trashmen, and the Mummies, to name a few. Indeed, so well regarded are they by the titans of rock’n’roll and rhythm’n’blues that they have a record coming out soon on which they share the grooves with the legendary Andre Williams! Whether on stage or on record this is one of the most exciting bands in rock’n’roll right now – they are guys who know what it takes to make you move. Equal parts rock'n 'roll and soul, with a healthy dose of blues and rockabilly and a good bit of punk rock attitude, whether you’re at a club show or in your living room you won’t be able to help yourself from shaking and shimmying. You can bet your bacon that they're gonna be cookin’ up a party at your house too!

    • Right on.   When the band finally started touring the states , in earnest , it had seemed like such a long wait , for me , to see them , but they eventually played Chicago , several times , and I also saw them once in New York. THEY HAD , OF COURSE , ALREADY PLAYED MUCH OF WESTERN EUROPE , AND FORMER SOVIET BLOC COUNTRIES THAT WERE ONLY BEGINNING TO OPEN UP TO AMERICAN ACTS...... I JOKINGLY TOLD FRED , "PLEASE DON'T WAIT UNTIL YOU'VE PLAYED CHINA AND CUBA TO COME BACK TO CHICAGO.".

      ENJOY THE LIVING HELL OUT OF THE SHOW !

      Funny you should mention 100 miles, 'cause that's how far I'm gonna have to go. Worth it.

    • DEAD MOON IS PLAYING A SHOW ?! SWEET CRAPPIN' CRAP !!! Dead Moon have'nt , to my knowledge , played a show in 7 OR 8 years......

      I'm glad to hear about this , even if it turns out to be their only reunion gig . If you ever saw them , and live within 100 miles of Portland , you already know why you'll be there. If you never got to see them , likewise , you'll be glad you went.

    • November 3, 2013 5:15 PM CST
    • I don't think Dead Moon have played a show in several years, and Poison Idea plays so infrequently I always seem to hear about it after the fact. So excited to catch two legends in one show.

    • Thank YOU ,mUTE eLVIS. You probably remember the real glory days of Wax Trax (The STORE , not the more overrated than Sushi record label.) and early Reckless , Dr. Wax , Second Hand Tunes....I moved here in '87 , and could'nt believe the record stores !!

    • October 15, 2013 5:57 AM CDT
    • it did. thanks so much, John.

    • October 10, 2013 4:55 PM CDT
    • .......Boy , all that work , and , now I realize I was responding to a message from 4 years ago. I hope it helps somebody , tho'.

      Clark St. Is'nt really littered with record stores, tho'.  We used to call it "Record Row"- There is , as noted , a short walk from Reckless (And two defunct cubby hole used record stores - Billy Corgan worked at one. He was already a jerk , then.) is Gramophone and Dave's Records , and there used to be Hi Fi Records , Second Hand Tunes, and the main Chicago Tower Records (They had a store downtown , as well.).

    • October 10, 2013 4:44 PM CDT
    • Yeah , Gramaphone is more Dance - oriented. I doubt if they have a record with a guitar on it. Unless it's on a sample. HA HA.

       

      Nowadays , Reckless is one of your best bets , tho' like anywhere else , it's a crapshoot. If you're willing to DIG , you should find some real cool surprises. They have a store on Milwaukee in Wicker Park , one on Broadway (near Belmont) , and one downtown , I want to say on Madison. The Milwaukee store is the largest , then Wicker Park , then Downtown.

       

      Dusty Grooves , on Ashland , is a fine store. They're more into Soul and Jazz , but their Rock'n'Roll repertoirre has increased significantly in the last few years. It's walking distance from the Wicker Park Reckless. You can do some fine dining at Harold's Fried Chicken  ON mILWAUKEE ALONG THE WAY , or go to Pandanita (I'm probably spelling that wrong) for some bad - ass steam - grilled burritos and a Mexican Coca Cola. You can't miss it , the steam goes out into the street.

       

      Dave's Records IS ALL vinyl. Again , it's a crap shoot , but , they get some cool new , used and reissue LPs and 45s.

       

      Laurie's Planet of Sound , in Lincoln Square , is best recommended for their unreal selection of R'n'R AND pSYCHOTRONIC FILM DVDs , BUT , their Garage /Psych LP and CD selections contain stuff no one else seems to carry. Not even Reckless.

       

      Shake Rattle'n'Read , at Broadway and Lawrence (almost) , above Al Capone's vaults in Uptown , carries tons of R'N'R books , magazines , records  and other cool shit. Owner Ric Addy was THERE , IN EARLY hIPPIE DAY hAIGHT aSHBURY , THE teen scene and Grande Ballroom in Detroit , and the Chicago Punk scene. PRE - HC. He will be more than happy to tell you about his adventures. Trust me.

       

      Way the Hell South is Record Dugout. Near Midway Airport. Sometimes they have amazing  LPs and 45s , but , last time I was there , it was'nt so hot. Did I mention Chicago record stores are a crapshoot ?

       

      ohhhh, Gawd. I forget our friend , Wilbur's store's name , it's in Logan Square....No , that's not it , I'm sorry , I'm sleep - deprived. Call Shangri - La vintage clothing , they can tell you where it is.    His prices are good . Wilbur is part of the old guard record store owners , along with Ric Addy and Joe at Groovin' High (Which is NEVER open , so , don't bother. Joe's a good guy , but he only seems to be open on Record Store Day.).

       

      Logan Hardware - Recently reopened , just West of Fullerton and Western. Lots of vinyl and free pinball.

       

      I CAN'T RECOMMEND K STARKE That HIGHLY , ONLY BECAUSE THE oWNER , who's a nice enough guy , only knows House Music , and nothing in his store is priced , so , if you bring something up , he WILL consult the eBay book. Granted , I have'nt been there in a long time , so , maybe he's getting hip to the fact that this policy is turning people off. BUT , if you go to a show at Empty Bottle , you might as well check it out.

       

      Permanent is more hipster - oriented , but they sometimes get some cool Garage 45 reissues (Not as many as Lauries) , nice people , tho', and they have a CAT!

       

      If your travels take you to Evanston , Squeezebox has a great supply of books , comics , DVDs and a small , but healthy , record selection. Lots of 45s.

       

      DO NOT , I repeat , DO NOT patronize Vintage Vinyl , unless you want to get reamed . Their prices have always been ridiculous , even on new , domestic releases. He's got the goods , or he did , some 20 years ago , before I was barred , because the owner's paranoid ass accused me of stealing from him , when I'd paid his exhorbitant prices for some seven years. I know , too much information. Sorry.
