8. The Snails...Pollution...from their recently released self titled debut CD. It's on Action Records outta Greece.
9. Cile Turner...Crap Shootin' Sinner...from the compilation LP, Stompin'. Picked this up at Star Records in Oshawa the other day. Haven't been to Star for a few years and it's still the same, stacked with cool records!! For those that don't know, Oshawa is just east of Toronto and Star is well worth a stop if you're in the area!
10. Angry Samoans...Inside My Brain...from the 1980 EP of the same name. Angry Samoans are supposed to play Call the Office on this coming Wed night.
11. Angry Samoans...I Lost My Mind...from the 1990 LP. STP Not LSD LP.
12. Apecassette...Ambiguous...from the Stupid CD. 2 piece art/noise combo from Windsor Ontario who opened up for Bloody Diamonds last week.
13. Jehosaphat Blow...Oh Ya Oh Ya....download from this one man band who seems to move constantly.
14. Certain General...Hello My God...from the 1982 12" called Holiday Of Love. Certain General were based in NYC and had Londoner Marcy Saddy (X B Girls) on drums. They came up here in August of 1981 and played several shows while on vacation here. This is the start of our London only show to help promote our big event coming up on the weekend of Oct 26th, Graphic Underground London 1977-1990. The rest of the show is London bands from that era...with almost all of the songs being unreleased.
15. Boy From Nowhere...Slow Death...live at Call The Office 3/1/86. London's first 60's/70's garagepunk combo who only played cool cover songs.
Boy From Nowhere playing in our basement, 1986??
16. B5 Blue...It's My Pride...recorded live at Mortz's, early 90's. Boy From Nowhere morphed into B5 Blue and still only played cover songs, but did it with style and finesse!
17. UIC....Cracked Actor...recorded live at Key West Cafe 11/16/87. I don't even remember UIC doing a David Bowie tune, but here's the proof! And i musta heard it as i taped this show! Key West Cafe was a small upstairs bar that would pack people in for real rock'n'roll, which UIC specialized in!
UIC promo shot we did after a show..mid 80's???
18. Flying Squad...Lewd Behaviour...late 80's demo from this band that you either loved or hated, nothing in between! Biker rock long before it became acceptable!
Flyinq Squad after a gig at the Civitan Club...mid 80's???
19. Terminals...Billy Stick Totin' Jerk...from their only cassette, We Kill. Terminals were probably the first punk band in the city to adapt to the faster hardcore sound that started in the early 80's. They were instrumental in bringing many out of town bands to play in sleepy London Ontario.
20. Redline...Mystery Dance...recorded live at Fryfogles June 1983. Redline were more of a commercial new wave type of band than punk. Fryfogles is long gone, and it was host to many cool combos, among them; Panther Burns, John Cale, Black Flag, Flipper, The Professionals, Stranglers, 999, Rezillos, DOA and TONS more!! We did a special on Fryfogles a year or so ago on Radio WW and talked about the venue and played many of these bands and more.
21. The Generics...Someday...basement demo, but this song was included on their only 7". Buncha snotty kids when they arrived on the scene, but they certainly proved their worth!
22. Radio 4...Is God A Man...early 80's basement demo recorded by Chris Richards. Radio 4 evolved into Sheep Look Up.
23. Sheep Look Up...Jumper...from their early 80's cassette. This is one of those bands that coulda and shoulda, but just didn't! Their early demos are just amazing as can be heard here.
24. Legend Killers...Gunpowder...from their 1989 7" on What Wave Records. All of the above local bands will be on the 90m cassette tape we're releasing with What Wave zine 24 due out Oct 26th at Graphics Underground London 1977 - 1990 opening night.
Early Legend Killers promo shot..probably taken by Martha.
That's a wrap, thanx for all the phone-ins and emails. We're back next week with an all local show, playing music from about 1977 to 1990 in preparation for the Graphic Underground London show.
