      The continuing saga of the Graphics Underground London 1977-1990 story as we play only London Ontario bands from about 1978 to 1990. The Graphics Underground show happens the weekend of Oct 26th, with the art show opening on friday and the party at Call The Office on Saturday Oct 27th...Uranus, The Zellots, NFG and The Enemas re-uniting for one night only.

      We were given the go ahead to start about 20m early, so we played the first 4 songs from the about to be released cassette, Slippery's Club Hits, which comes with What Wave #24 which will be released Oct 26th...

      1. 63 Monroe...At The Boot...recorded at the Cedar Lounge, Easter 1980. This song is a celebration of the good times we had at the Cedar Lounge.

      2. The Stoves...Slow Down...recorded live at the Cedar Lounge, May 1979.

      3. Uranus...Motorbikin'...live to air from CFNY May 1980.

      4. Spiral Scratch...Still Rockin'...recorded live at the Cedar Lounge fall 1981.

      And here's where we start our regular show.....right around 6PM so the faithful few can listen to my usual fuckups on the radio....

      5. Peter Tangredi... Life Is A Passion....from The Demics Covers CD that came out in 1998. A song that tells what reality was like back in the late 70's...fucking aerosmith, foghat, pink floyd and worse ruled what passed for radio back then. You couldn't walk down the street looking like a punker without being verbally and/or physically hassled. Shouts of 'Hey Devo' were expected...why Devo? I have no fucking clue, but that's probably all the rockers could comprehend for the music we dug. Now anyone can walk down the street with a pink mohawk, stud covered leather jacket and facial tattoos and no one will give you a second look....

      6. Legend Killers...Beg...demo from 1986 not long after they first started. The only band to appear on EVERY compilation we've ever released...something like 11 cassettes, a 7" EP and 2 LP's. And this is why!

      7. Legend Killers...Stepping Stone...as above.

      8. Legend Killers...You'll Get Yours...from the Better Than Hammerin' EP that came out in 1989 on What Wave Records.

      9. Legend Killers...Baby Sitter...from a CD they released when they reformed about 10 years ago where they collected a bunch of songs they released over the years.

      10. UIC...New Rose...recorded live at Call The Office 3/16/85. You can find some of the songs from this gig up on youtube...you might see a younger version of me dancing up front by the stage.

      11. UIC...Our Garage...title song from this LP from 1986 on Fringe Records.

      12. UIC...Pushed Into The Hole...from the 1989 Wiseman Sessions that were issued in an extremely limited edition many years ago. Someday they may come out on vinyl...

      13. UIC...Green Lady...from the 1989 LP, Live Like 90 on OG Records.

      14. The Zellots...On The Dole...recorded early 80's at the Kent Hotel in Kitchener Ontario. Probably recorded by Peter Moore, the big name producer who presently does all kinds of mastering, TV documentaries, producing, etc....

      15. The Zellots...Blades...from the Japanese CD, You Only Get 1 Shot At The Big Time...on Wizzard in Vinyl in 2006.

      16. The Zellots...Let's Play House...recorded live at The Cedar Lounge 8/17/81 for a wedding.

      17. Crash 80's...Waiting For The Heat...only 7" this band ever released...1980.

      18. Regulators...What's In The City...from their only 7" on Ready Records. For Jeff Morritt, singer/guitarist who passed away recently.

      19. Regulators...Sherry Share It...recorded live at the Polish Hall 11/2/79. The Polish Hall was used and abused at many gigs in the early days of the London punk rock days.

      20. Second Thoughts...Wound Up...from their one and only 7" 1980.

      21. Finks...Can't Say No...from their only single, mid 80's. These guys actually got airplay on CKSL AM here in London....something that just doesn't happen to indy bands...ever!!

      22. Redline...Brand New Cadillac...recorded live at Fryfogles June 1983. Fryfogles jumped onto the new wave/punk band wagon fairly early, entertaining artists like The Stranglers, DOA, Bopcats, John Cale, Panther Burns, 999, Vice Squad, The Professionals and many many more.

      23. The Stoves...So You Say...recorded live at The Cedar Lounge May 1979.

      24. The Stoves...Just My Style....as above.

      25. Radio 4...We Are The Architects...from a basement recording...early 80's.

      26. Sheep Look Up....Burning...from their first release, a cassette from 1983.

      The saga continues on Tuesday Oct 23rd at 3:30 PM as we do yet another special on London's early punk/new wave/whatever scene...on CHRW 94.9FM. Then we continue again next thursday at the usual time.

      Thanx for all the call-ins on this show!! And remember, next week is fund raising week here at CHRW so please pledge some $ to help us purchase new studio equipment....

      There's a new compilation on my blog, from my friend Major Tom. This one is a cosmic hallucination, that you can play only WITHOUT any medical advice. I don't really know where he find this stuff, I can only say that you don't get out from this experience without brain damage, you've been warned !

      So, here it is, Take your protein pills and put your helmet on

      Hi Allan,

      Thanks for getting back to me. So many amazing bands you've been in! I'll get some questions written up and email them to you. I'll try and come see your new band when you play in Dalston too, not too far from where I am.

      Cheers

    • That would be so much help, cheers!  I'm gutted I'll never get the chance to see either of those bands, if only I'd been born a few years earlier...

      Matt said:

      Hey Adam- Yeah, I saw The Buff Medways at Cavestomp 2001 at the Warsaw in Brooklyn.  What a night... just a few weeks after 9/11.  The Buffs were great, obviously.  The Downliners Sect played as well, and the Buffs came back out to sing along to some tracks and shake maracas, etc.  I have some photos, I think (I'll have to get them out of storage).  I saw Thee Headcoats a few years earlier in Manhattan (I've forgotten the venue) The Makers opened up for them.

             Yeah, I could scan those zines for ya, in the spirit of research.  Just give me some time to dig 'em up and warm up the scanner! Best, Matt



      Adam Kemp said:

      So jealous you got to see those bands Matt, especially The Buff Medways. Where did you see them? Do you think there's any chance you could scan the copies of that zine into the computer? I would love to read them and I'm sure they would help. I'd never heard of it before you said.

      And Jon, I'm not sure where it'll be available, I've only just started on the project but I'll definitely let you know.

      Cheers.

    • dublE seems to be a wise man ;-)

      And yes for me it's look cool too... M. Watt or M. Bruce look great with that in their hands.

      Will make a little review here if I purchase it.

    • I'm a big fan of Birthday Party, and although these might not be in the exact same vein, heres a few I'm diggin' on:  The U-Men, Cows (Cunning Stunts is me fave), Chrome Cranks, Jesus Lizard, Hammerhead, God Bullies, Rudimentary Peni...
