I personally think anything by The Fuzztones is just awful.

agreeed!

ok , not the lamest or the worst , but one of the most like an aftertought. Beasts of Bourbon "Good Times" (Nobody's Children) , ok , I'm in that itsy - bitsy teenie weenie minority that was never that impressed with B.O.B. , not compared to T.Tex Edwards or Iggy Yoakum and His Famous Pogo Ponies. But , any band with the chutzpah to do "Good Times" is to be admired on some level. But their version ,they kind of muddle thru it , the singer forgetting the words , but , not letting that get in their way......at least they did'nt break into "What's So Funny About Peace , Love and Understanding" as The Flaming Lips did on their godawful version of "Strychnine". I remember seeing The Flaming Lips in Dallas in the late 80's. You did'nt dare say you disliked them , with their Led Zeppelin retreads. Same thing happened here , with Smashing Pumpkins, detractors like myself  were RARE. i KNOW it's hard to believe , now.....

Jarmusch? Really?! I heard about the show , but , not the DVD. yEAH, DAN IS A FRIEND OF MINE FROM WAY BACK...I DID'NT WANT TO SOUND LIKE I WAS BRAGGING , HA HA. ONLY ONE OF US HAS A RIGHT TO BRAG , AND IF YOU'VE SEEN "PLASTERCASTER " ,YOU KNOW WHICH ONE THAT IS !  I'm in it, too, briefly , talking to Dan , before Cynthia "Pops the question.". The Dan and The Darleans 45 is good , minimal BFTG type Garage. Yeah , Dan came up here and played a Country Blues set with a friend. No promotion , no mikes or amps.

Very cool! I lived in the Ann Arbor area at the time of the blackout, so I was driving to the venue when I heard about the cancellation of the show on the radio. I just wound up continuing to drive further up into Northern Michigan where there was power and hanging out up there, doing some boating and such with family, for a few days until the power came back.

All the local rockers, both "big" and "small", were present at the Stooges reunion. It was a great place to be ("scene, see, and be seen" if you know what I mean...) 

A couple years back, the Iggy and the Stooges played a special Ron Asheton tribute show at the Michigan Theater in downtown Ann Arbor (later made into a DVD documentary), filmed by Jim Jarmusch and featuring guests such as Henry Rollins and Deniz Tek on guitar. It was an Ann Arbor musical homecoming of sorts. Thankfully, Deniz Tek appears to be in good health and is still rockin' strong.

Rasmussen as well as Dan Kroha can be seen "around town" quite frequently, performing or hanging out at shows. Dan plays out regularly. His newest band, called Dan and the Darleans is actually really cool and it is pretty easy to catch them playing pretty much anywhere around town from very small free shows in the lobby of the Majestic Theater to bigger stages opening for national acts.

i did'nt hear anything about Scott Morgan , that's awful. I knew about Scott Asheton having to drop out ,temporarily , from the touring Stooges due to health reasons. I know some of his friends , and they're sworn to secrecy. I think he would have been approachable enough , but , as I say , he had family with him , and about two seconds before he got up to leave. I did'nt want to be THAT person , glomming onto him when he wants to be alone.

I was at that Stooges show in '03 in Clarkston. The show that DID and the show that did'nt happen....When we got to town , peple were saying the power was out at the facility. We did'nt know HOW MUCH power was out , in the US and Canada....Someone said "Have'nt you been listening to the radio?". I said "Do I look like I listen to the radio?!". There was a "Wake" at the Quickie Mart (Maybe you were there.). I felt bad , because I was meeting people from New York , New Jersey , etc. , who could'nt just come back when the show was rescheduled. But , what a great show it was. Everybody was ON.     But , yeah , I met Gary Rasmussen there, and the Guitarist from The Mutants , whose name escapes me. But , I'd met him , earlier , when he and his Son were playing in Elvis Hitler. Dan Kroha was there , too , and I saw about 100 Fred "Sonic " Smith T-shirts.

Yes, his show is currently on the road. You can find the details online pretty easily. Yes, the Godoy Twins are a great backing band for him (and they have their own interesting story in itself). 

@John Battles: those are great stories you're sharing. Yes, those guys are all fairly approachable. At least around here (but I live in their home turf, so it is easy to run into these guys any old night of the week or at a local rock show, usually at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor). They aren't the friendliest guys around, but still cool nonetheless. Rock Action is still doing some things here and there. Unfortunately, Scott Morgan has been in failing health lately (the last time I saw him, he looked like death warmed over...). 

I was at that same Clarkston, MI show at what was then called Pine Knob; now it is called DTE Energy Ampitheater (during the Stooges reunion tour, summer of '03; had to be rescheduled due to the huge brownout/blackout across the states). It was a great time. 

Deniz just played at the Quarry House Tavern in Silver Spring, MD w/ my band The Stents (also w/ Jake Starr & The Delicious Fullness.) The venue sounds similar. It was a little underground (literally) club with a ceiling that was maybe 6'5" tops. Great crowd and Deniz (plus the Godoy Twins) were super cool dudes. It was kinda surreal to see him in such an intimate setting. He sounded fantastic!

Retraction: I meant to say , I almost met Scott Asheton in 2010. he had some family and friends with him , so , I did'nt want to disturb him ("The Wrath of ROCK!" haha.). I waited to see if he had a free moment , but , he was getting up to go backstage , stilll wearing his shades in the dark , and I'm going hamina hamina hamina....I know some folks who know him , and say he's a down to earth cat . 

Thanks for sharing the great story.  I saw Tek when he was touring with Radio Birdman back in the summer of 2007. Great show!  Is Tek taking this show on the road? 

Are Boy Bands called "Lad Bands" in England?

No , John ,they're called shite.

In Britain just now,. This shit is masquerading as 'music'. Wot a load of fuckin shite! It'll never catch on. Not like the popular 'Beat' combo's we're used to. Just a passing fad hopefully! haha

 

ME , TOO!  JOHN.  (YOU NAME HERE) ME , THREE!!!! THE CIRCLE WON'T BE BROKEN.

Never heard this before..... never wanna fuckin hear it again either, haha

.....It's not bad, Would'nt call it weird . The puppets and stuff , yeah , but, I like puppets.

It sounds , mainly, like 70's Rock Riffage (Deep Purple , Thin Lizzy , eg.) , but , less heavy. The singer sounds a little too much like Siouxsie for my taste , but she has a GOOD voice. The hookah lounge....even jocks go to the hookah lounge in the states. And the lion with the pipe....Oh , well. It is funny.

just heard this slab of weirdness about 2 minutes ago. Debut album just out. Apart fae that, I know nothing about them. This is just lovely tho.

Its an amazing feeling when you've heard a song and forgotten it for ages, then totally out of the blue some radio station plays it. Ebay is a great source especially when you find the name of the track or band. Years ago I remember hearing a punk version of 'I Can See Clearly Now' by the wonderful Johnny Nash. Heard it at a local gig and asked an searched for ages. Totally forgot about it. I then heard a programme on 6Music from the BBC. Nicky Wire was asked for his 10 favourite punk covers. Low and behold number 6 was Snuff's version of it. I fuuuuuuckin loves it. £25 it cost me for the pleasure of owning it. Money well spent me'thinks?... Enjoy!

I missed the previous post about this, so thank you.  :)  

Someone else already posted a thread about this a couple weeks ago:

So far, the King Tuff track is my favorite.

Cool deal. And I really, really, really, really like the design of that webpage. 

We're all getting old:)

You're going to enjoy the show!  Just saw Cheap Trick live a few days ago. Nielsen is still incredible on the six-string, Zander's voice is strong, Peterson and his 12-string bass are a treat to watch, and Daxx Nielsen played the best drum solo I have ever witnessed in person. Granted, Cheap Trick is old (and so am I) but you're in for a good show...

"As for metal" .....are you kidding??! Maybe where you come from, but just Google the words "Metal Fest" and see how much comes up all over U.S. and Europe as a start.  From my side of the continent, Pacific NW and California most certainly haven't seen the last of metal and all derivative forms thereof, i.e, doom, thrash, folk, etc.  Thrash and Doom is VERY big here, in particular. There's actually a resurgence of TONS of good bands lately, including that which has already been mentioned.
