Radio What Wave Playlist October 27/2017

1. The Famines…..The First World War….from the recently re-ished single collection on Pentagon Black out of Montreal. The Famines, Raymond Biesinger and Garrett Heath Kruger (at the time) used to play London fairly frequently and even played a CHRW benefit at the long gone Moon Over Marin venue here in London. And speaking of which, we’re now officially in  fund raising mode here at CHRW, so help us maintain our high level of eccentricity and fine musical taste for your hopefully receptive listening devices!!
2. The Routes….All I Find….from the about to be released Dirty Needles and Pins on Greenway Records. The Routes, one of Japan’s finest (if not the finest!) ongoing examples of the best of 60’s garage rock sounds!! And this is their second long player of 2017!! Check out their latest promo pics, looks like they’ve absconded with my old Vox Constellation IV bass and are putting it to great use!
3. The Brogues….Ain’t No Miracle Worker….from Mindrocker Volume 1, collection of mighty fine 60’s garage/psych sounds. And on vinyl as are many of today’s treats as the London Record Show is happening on Sunday October 29^th here in London and you can catch us at our table selling records, zines, CD’s posters and other ephemera. And I’m still looking for any of those 60’s garage rock compilations that I don’t yet have.
4. Baronen and Satan….Lady Creature….brand new from Sweden on the ultra suave Dirty Water Records label outta the UK.  Dirty Water, which now has a US division is pumping out literally tons of cool vinyl from some of the finest modern garage, soul and rock’n’roll combos out there!
5. Excelsior….Pornos….local 7” from a band that didn’t last long enough! Ran into vocalist Chris the other day and he gave me the rundown on why the band broke up. Really unique sounds as far as local punk combos go!
6. Mountain Of Wolves…Don’t Call My Name….from their brand new Poison LP released on the brand new Forest City Records imprint.
7. Hiroshima Hearts….Reach Out….another brand new local release, this a 7” from this band that seems to be getting some very interesting opening slots for some of the bigger touring combos that come here. And we had them on the air a few weeks back!
8. DT’s…..Wrap It Up…..from a 7” on the Groovie Records label outta France, this is Estrus head honcho Dave Crider’s rock’n’soul combo with Madame X on the vocals!
9. Downbeat 5….Radiates The Charm…from their self titled debut release on SFTRI from 2003. Former Lyre/DMZ JJ Rassler hands the guitar duties, so you know this is gonna be good!! And ya, that’s the Arthur Alexander tune that Teenage Head covered about 30 years ago with Dave Rave on the vocals.
10. Dead Moon….Don’t Burn The Fires….from a 7” on Tombstone Records from 1988 and goes out to singer/guitarist Fred Cole who is in the hospital and hoping for a full recovery. Fred has been active since about 1965 with The Lollipop Shop (You Must Be A  Witch),  The Weeds, The Rats, Zipper, Western Front, Dead Moon, Pierced Arrows and so many more!! Dead Moon played Call The Office many moons ago and put on a primal set of rock’n’roll tunes that is still talked about!
11. The Zellots…On The Dole….from their brand new flexi and recorded in the late 70’s. We had Jane Zellot onair to talk about this last week and the record will be available at the London Record Show from me.
12. Mean Motor Scooter….Sam The Homosapien…..from their brand new Hindu Flying Machine release on Dirty Water Records and they are from Austin Texas and about to tour with The Darts.
13. Kid Mojo…..Looking For A Change….UK based combo who just released this and sent us some tunes to play!
14. Empty Hours….Radio….from their brand new It’s About Time LP and they are from Brantford Ontario, just east of London. We’ve been bugging them to come to London to play and hopefully soon!
15. Coaching For Sara…..Look Around…from their recent remaster of their debut CD. We’ve got them scheduled for a live to air on November 10^th right here on Radio WW!     Right about this time, Mike Todd from Speed City Records, here in town, called us up to give all the details on the London Record Show happening on Sunday April 29^th here at Centennial Hall. Lots of new dealers this time, come drop by, put a coupla extra bucks in the CHRW fund raising jar at the front door and check out the show.  We’ll be at the Radio WW table at the show….
16. Jim Ashby…..Speed City…..7” on the record label of the same name and Mike promises to have some copies of this at the show! Easily my fave record to come out of London Ontario and this one for some reason, generates more phone calls than anything else we’ve played over the years….and this show was no different with 2 calls about the record!
17. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants….Only Game In Town….from their brand new Half Wits LP on Speed City records and again, available at the show!
18. Fats Domino….My Real Name….from a greatest hits LP and goes out to Fats who passed away earlier this week! Highly influential in the New Orleans sound and early rock’n’roll and locals, Slugfest and The Stetsons both cover his songs.
19. The Easybeats….Friday On My Mind…..this song may be 50 years old, but almost every Monday morning it still goes through my brain!! Possibly the greatest 60’s tune to bring the working week to weekend escape into focus! This goes out to guitarist/writer/producer George Young who passed away this week. His younger brothers formed AC/DC whom George went on to produce, write songs and mentor.
20. The Easybeats….For My Woman….second single from 1965 and the R&B noise of this one still sounds fucking amazing well over 50 years past!
21. The Easybeats….Gonna Have A Good Time….another classic, The Purple Toads covered this one about 30 years ago !
22. The Minstrels….Rhythm In Her Head….from the Come Out To Play EP from 1989 on What Wave Records. Since there’s a record show on Sunday, thought we’d spin a few of the records we put out many years back. This combo was form Quebec City, saw them at Call The Office doing 3 sets and we thought we gotta put something out by these guys. Hence this EP, which was their first release and they went on to release several CD’s and a single or 2. Check the runout grooves on this one for a little addition of mine….
23. 10 Commandments…..New Trip…..from Mr Garager’s Neighbourhood, a compilation album we curated for OG Records back in 1989. This was one of the last OG releases and did remarkably well across Canada. Cover art was done by David Clarke and we put the whole thing together at future Juno Award winner Dan Brodbeck’s studio, that was in his parent’s basement. 10 Commandments were from Toronto and released many LP’s and singles, with singer James Booth going on to a career with CBC.
24. The Gruesomes….I Try….from Thee Cave Comes Alive, an LP on the Action Records label out of Greece from 2004. This was a compilation LP of a very few of the songs that we released on cassette and came with What Wave zines in the 80’s and early 90’s. Action Records put up the money (thanx to George Rigas), did all the piecing together of the songs and we helped track down bands….this was way before facebook and a lot more difficult than you could imagine. There’s a real nice insert with band pics, bios and pics of some of the covers of What Wave zines. You see this record around at local stores now and again and was what propelled me to get on the air at CHRW and do Radio What Wave (along with Mike Todd from Speed City).
25. Legend Killers….You’ll Get Yours….from the Better Than Hammerin’ 7” that came out in 1989 on What Wave Records. This one allowed the band to tour Canada and find those pockets of appreciative fans spread across Canada! Legend Killers managed to be the only band to appear on every What Wave compilation (cassette, vinyl and CD!) and they have their own Facebook page with lots of old pics!
26. The Mongrols….Plastic Girl….from the 7” EP, 4 Whom The Bell Tolls that came with What Wave zine 15 back in 1988. This was our first vinyl release and we learned a lot from this one and got exposure for 4 talented bands from London….The Mongrols (not to be confused with the The Mongrels of today), Flying Squad, Captain Scarlet & The Mysterons and The Legend Killers. Sorry for the little bit of self indulgence....but you might be able to find these records at the record show. It won't happen again...the self indulgence that is as this show is ONLY about the music, the times and the fun!
27. Dirty Fences….Blue Screen…..from the about to be released Goodbye Love LP on Greenway Records. Some amazing powerpop sounds from this NYC area combo and they even have Tina of Sheer Mag on a song or two!
28. Blue Peter….Radio Silence…..from the 1980 LP Radio Silence and the beginning of their shift into mainstream music. First time we ever saw Blue Peter at the Cedar Lounge was fucking incredible!! The singer would jump onto the dance floor and dance up a storm with these power pop guitar chords just blasting away!! Such fun times and later on, they became the combo that did a Black Label beer commercial!
29. Jackie Shane….Sticks And Stones….from the just released Any Other Way double LP that collects the singles, the live LP from about 1963 and some unreleased songs. Huge booklet inside that covers the story (Elaine Banks did an excellent CBC bio on Jackie Shane a number of years back, and her work helped inspire this release) in great detail, all written by Rob Bowman (he did the Stax re-issue notes a few years back) and with so many pictures I’d never seen before!! This was long awaited by me as Jackie Shane was such a unique performer and amazing soul singer!!!

Big thanx to Mike Todd from Speed City Records for taking the time to talk about the London Record Show happening on Sunday October 29^th at Centennial Hall.

And a Huge thanx to all the crazy phone calls, emails, FB messages and Heys!!! Next week is fund raising here at CHRW and we’re doing a special and playing only highlights of Live To Airs from CHRW going all the way back to about 1980…..you’ll be quite surprised at some of the bands we might be playing next week!!

Here’s a link to the archived show:

Radio What Wave Playlist October 20/2017   Jane Zellot Colligan as guest

1. Tuerto Loco….Nancy Sinatra….recorded live on Radio WW 5/12/2011 as a live to air. Nancy Sinatra was originally done by Hank’n’Frank and released on a cassette called Garunge that came with WW zine #14 December 1987. One of my all time fave tunes to come out of London Ontario and Tuerto Loco just happens to be playing at the St Regis on Saturday October 21^st.  They may even play this song if you ask nice.
2. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings….Something’s On My Mind…..from the 2007 Let’s Frolic CD. This song was originally done by Teenage Head, and coincidentally, this week is the anniversary of Frankie Venom’s passing. Frankie, was the original singer for Teenage Head.  And Blackie and The Rodeo Kings are doing a double show on Thursday night at the Aeolian Hall here in London.
3. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings….Stoned….from the BARK CD from 2003 and sung by Tom Wilson.
4. Mountain Of Wolves….Poison….from the brand new LP of the same name. Released on the brand new record label Forest City Records and obviously from London Ontario. They’ve got a live to air scheduled for Saturday April 28^th here on CHRW to start our annual fund raising event.
5. Tragically Hip….Suzy Q…recorded live at Call The Office 3/3/1988 as they played that venue many times. Goes out to their singer Gord who passed away this week.
6. Mean Motor Scooter….Intro and Wave Spotting….from their brand new release on Dirty Water Records called Hindu Flying Machine and they are from Austin Texas.
7. Expanda Fuzz…..Last Of The Who Heads….from the Last Of The Who Heads release that just came out. From Ottawa Ontario.
8. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants….The Grey and The Black….from their brand new Half Wits Lp on Speed City Records.

10. Coaching For Sara…..Tonight’s The Night….from their remastered CD and they are playing tonight at the 765 Old East and will be doing a live to air on Radio WW on Nov 10^th.
11. The Dahlmanns….Connie Converse….from their brand new split 7” on Beluga Records out of Sweden and the are from Norway. Reputable sources call this the best powerpop combo on the planet!
12. Escobar….Terrible Man….from their brand new The Biggest Sound release on Dirty Water Records USA and they are from France. They will be on tour with The Darts on their US tour for the next month or so.
13. Stunning….Party Like a Rock Star….from their Punk Rock Soldier release and are playing at the Eastside tonight.
14. The Saints….Follow The Leader….from the Casablanca LP from 1982 and goes out to drummer Iain Sheddon who passed away earlier this week. Iain picked up the sticks for The Saints when they moved to the UK and appeared on several albums. He was also a well respected music writer in Australia and had authored several books. He was not in The Saints when they played here in London a dozen or so years ago.
15. Randall and the Rivieras….Drinkin’ From The Well….from their recent self titled CD and composed of long time vets of the London scene….2 of them were in The Verge, one is in 63 Monroe and one was in The Hippies and Boy From Nowhere….all respected bands in London’s musical history. Check WW zine 24 for more details, available at Brown and Dickson on Richmond St.
16. Dirty Fences….One More Step….from their soon to be released Goodbye Love LP and this particular track features Tina Halladay of Sheer Mag. Dirty Fences are a NYC combo who started as more of a punk rock type thing, switching gears into one of my fave genres, powerpop. This whole new album comes highly recommended!!
17. NYDolls….Don’t Mess With Cupid…from the Rock’n’Roll CD on Polygram from 1994. Thought you’d heard it all by The NYDolls and here’s this little blistering number to make your ears smile….couple of other unreleased tunes on this one as well, all from 1974.
18. Empty Hours….Frankie and Delilah….from the It’s About Time LP and these guys are from Brantford Ontario. They were around 30 years ago, had a coupla tunes released on WW tapes and resurfaced a few years back. Gotta get these guys to come to London Ontario real soon.
19. Heather Haley…..3 Blocks West Of Wonderland….from a few years back and Heather was the original singer for The Zellots, when they started in Vancouver back in about 1978.
20. The Zellots…..On The Dole….from the brand new 7” of unreleased demos of The Zellots in their Vancouver days with Heather on vocals. You can pick this record up at Speed City Record here in town or at the London Record Show on the 29^th from me.
21. The Zellots….Vampyre Love…as above. These demos came from a cassette tape that someone found as the original reel tapes are long gone.
22. The Zellots….Let’s Play House….as above….and coincidentally Jane Colligan, who played bass on these tracks and was the only bass player for The Zellots, came into the studio to talk Zellots. Originally Chrissy DeVeber and Jane were scheduled to come in, but Chrissy couldn’t make it and we were going  to re-schedule…..live radio, so you go with whatever happens!!
23. The Zellots….1 Way Street….1980 recording done by Peter Moore from the Kent Hotel in the Kitchener area. This and the next 2 songs were broadcast on CHRW by Peter Moore (ya, the guy that won a Grammy last year and went under the alias Simon Less back in those days) and I taped them on my trusty cassette player.
24. The Zellots….Fire In Cairo… as above. Jane talked about the Kent, as it was a strip bar in the daytime and then band in the evening. The Zellots were on stage getting ready and were hassled a fair bit by the patrons as the 3 front members are all female.
25. The Zellots…I Love My Dog….as above and described as a fuck song by Jane as it was just something they made up…
26. The Zellots….One Or The Other….recorded live at The York Hotel (no known as Call The Office) probably by Mike Niederman on his little trusty cassette deck. Probably from 1980 or there abouts.
27. The Zellots…Blades….from a 1981 demo recorded at EMAC Studios in London. Coincidentally, this song was played the previous night on a TV show called Supernatural on the Space Channel. It was used in the background when a tattoo artist was at work! The things you learn on the fly from your guests!!!
28. The Zellots….Social Elite….from the above demo and a request by Jane. These demos have been released by the band in small quantities and were sold at the Graphic Underground show back in 2012, the last time the band played.
29. The Zellots….Let’s Play House….from August 1981 at the Cedar Lounge, and this was Doug and Rose’s wedding bash show…..also appearing that night were Certain General from NYC (with Marcy Saddy on the kit), Sheep Look Up (or were they Radio 4 that night) and the debut of Spiral Scratch. This was recorded by Dead Rabbit Kerry Piper on his trusty cassette deck and Doug is one of our regular listeners here on Radio WW as we played a couple of his requests a few weeks back.

Huge Thanx to Jane Colligan for showing up to talk about the brand new record and all things Zellots. You can pick the record up locally at Speed City Records, or at the London Record Show on Sunday October 29^th, Centennial Hall.

And speaking of the London Record Show, Mike Todd will be talking next week about it on this show!

Big Thanx for all the phone calls, emails and FB messages, you can catch the archived show here:

This song was also featured on a WW cassette called The 8^Th Wonder back in 1991.
7. Lost Patrol….Second Time Around….from a 7” from this Windsor combo that Paul Langan commandeered. Probably late 80’s/early 90’s this band played London many times, were one of the first  bands produced/recorded by Juno Award winner Dan Brodbeck (when his studio was in his parent’s basement) and one of the few (if only) English Canadian bands to have an LP released in France, but not in Canada!

18. The Smithereens…..Wall Of Sleep….from the 1986 LP Especially For You. One of my fave Smithereen tunes and I still vividly remember hearing the band play this long before the record came out and thinking this song should be a hit!
19. Buddy Holly….Rave On…..from 1958 and goes out to Brian Logie who passed away this week.

26. Barrence Whitfield and The Savages….Bloody Mary….from the 1985 LP Dig Yourself and goes out to Ryan In The Red, who does a show every couple of weeks on Thursdays from 6 to 7:30 right here on CHRW.

Radio What Wave Playlist Sept 22/2017 The Hypnotics Live To Air

Some shows I feel like a duck on the water….all looks calm on the surface, but below, the feet are going insane! But it’s all for fun and we even had rock’n’roll royalty in the onair booth as a young student dropped by, and asked if she could watch the band play! Turns out the young student, Sam, is the cousin of King Khan!!! Told her about the time King Khan played Call The Office to all of about 12 people and still put on an absolute Stunner of a show! Shoulda taken pics at that show.

And we had Windsor’s The Hypnotics doing a live to air during the show…had a few tech issues, but Adam and our Excellent sound crew here at CHRW were able to iron everything out and the boys blasted out the rock’n’roll for all you crazy listeners!!   And they sounded great later in the eve at the Richmond, playing with Running From Daylight (finally got to see these guys and they didn’t disappoint!!) and Space Slave played as well but had to leave.

1. Oh! Gunquit……Fireballs….from their about to be released LP, Lightning Likes Me, on the Dirty Water Records label outta the UK.

19. Shaun Cassidy and Utopia….So Said About Us….from the above compilation and the first time we’ve ever played former teen heart throb Shaun Cassidy on this show! Expect the unexpected!
20. The Hypnotics…..New Wave Monday….live to air, the first 30s or so of this one didn’t go over the airwaves as you gotta press that red button too!! If there wasn’t a screw up of some sort, it wouldn’t be a Radio What Wave!!

Radio What Wave Playlist September 15/2017   w/Mark Kearney As Special Guest

Mark Kearney, co-author of the book As The Years Go By was our special guest for the first half or so of the show. Mark talked about most of the bands from London that are in his (and partner Randy Ray’s) latest book. The book is just over 400 pages of info and stories on many of Canada’s forgotten bands/artists from over the last 60 years or so. It’s a great read for the throne room, as each listing only last a couple of pages. And available locally at Brown & Dickson or the University Book Store.

And near the end of the show, Dany Laj called in as Dany Laj and The Looks are in town tonight at Call The Office for a show.

1. Uranus….Shake Some Action….from a live 1980 recording in Toronto. And we started the show by talking about Uranus, their hit and the fact the band made little money despite a hit in Canada.

6. Thundermug….Africa….their top 10 single on AM radio back in 1973.  And right about here we talked about how Thundermug was the loudest band in London (and their rehearsal space) in Toronto.  One listener called in with a Thundermug request I didn’t have and said he saw the band about 40 times!
7. Thundermug…..Duckworth Stomp….from the Ta-Daa LP from about 1975.
8. Grant Smith…..Keep On Runnin’…..from a 7” record and around here we talked about Grant Smith and The Power who had this top selling record. One story that came out, was that when Grant was playing Las Vegas, he told Tom Jones (yep, that Welsh guy) to Fuck Off in front of a packed crowd! And right after this we talked about Truck, Gary and Dave and Priscilla Wright, all Londoners who have done, or are still doing wonderful musical things!!
9. Grant Smith….Her Own Life….the flip side of the above single. It was a blast having Mark Kearney on the radio to talk about these London bands from the past. The reaction to the show was quite amazing, so we may bring Mark back at some future date to talk further about the history of Canadian music.
10. The Hypnotics…..Radio City….from the Static Fuzz Radio LP from 2011. The Hypnotics are from Windsor Ontario, and they will be doing a live to air on next week’s show. And then later that eve, they play a show at the Richmond with Space Slave and Running From Daylight.

17. Dany Laj and the Looks…..Small Town Kid….from the Word On The Street LP from a year or so ago.
18. Steel River….Dream Is Country….from their 1970 LP, Weighin’ Heavy and we had to fade this one out due to time constraints.

Big Thanx to Mark Kearney for taking the time to drop by the studio and talk about his book. It’s a great read for all that are interested in the history of Canadian music. And a big Thanx to Dany Laj for taking the time to talk to us about the show happening tonight at Call The Office!
