Radio What Wave Playlist Aug 6/2015. Part 2 of Bands We Saw At The Black Shire Pub

1. 905s....Direction...from their latest CD, Shake Down. Andy Butler and the 905s played one of our Teenage Rock'n'Roll shows and impressed quite a few folks here in London.

2. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants....Back To The Beach...from a demo they sent us. JT played many shows at the Black Shire, including the above mentioned Teenage Rock'n'Roll Show as well as opening for Jeremy Gluck and the Barracudas, impressing one Jeremy Gluck!

9. Barracudas....The Way We've Changed....1983 7".

10. Barreracudas....Diet Coke....from a live WFMU broadcast on Terre's Cherry Blossom Clinic radio show.

13. Baketones....I'm A Caveman...from their Unite CD. Amazing 60's style garagepunk from Halifax who came on air prior to their show at the Black Shire. Nothing could prepare me for the devastation of their live show. The keyboard player had a small Farfisa on legs that got a little too close to the edge of the stage during the action. The keyboard went airborn over the edge and the keyboard player jumped over top of the keyboard, somehow landing on the floor with the keyboard on top of him and continued to play!! Real rock'n'roll!!

14. Myles Deck and The Fuzz....El Mariachi...from the You Can't Heal A Sick Riff CD. Yet another garagerock combo from Halifax....must be something wrong with the water there.

17. Duke Sedan and the Hi Tones....Real Cool Daddy...from their only CD. Local combo who played a Lux Interior tribute at the Black Shire and caused a bit of damage to the place. They were banned from the Black Shire for some time....the ghost of Lux was present at the tribute.

18. Apecassete....Ambiguous....from a self titled CD....Windsor Ontario combo.

19. Terror Lake....Shit Storm...from a demo CD. Toronto trio who played the Black Shire at least twice and both times blew me away. Artwrock infused psych meets surf from this low profile trio.

Digger and The Pussycats at the Retreat in Brunswick

Lately ? The Rezillos , Girlschool , Dead Moon (Twice) , NoBunny , Cynics , Real Kids , Sonics , Barrence Whitfield and The Savages , Blue Coup (Dennis Dunaway from The Alice Cooper Group and The Brouchard Bros. from BOC.)....BUT THAT'S IN 6 OR 8 MONTHS TIME. PRETTY DEAD , NOW. 

I've been to quite a few since I last posted on here (Ringo, and Macca to name a few), but, the most recent ones that I have been to are: Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds, The Moody Blues, The Rolling Stones (w/ Gary Clark Jr), the Happy Together Tour (The Turtles, The Grass Roots, The Association, Mark Lindsay, The Cowsills and the Buckinghams), and Iron Butterfly. Pending concerts include: Stephen Stills, Paul Weller, and Blur. 

sORRY , i KNOW I'm here , somewhere.....My faves from the 70's- EARLY 80's Punk era (Fair enough?) include , but are'nt limited to-

The Cramps - Songs The LORD tAUGHT US.

The Real Kids (Self Titled.).

Alan Vega - Collision Drive.

Dickies - Dawn of The Dickies.

Ramones - FIRST FOUR ALBUMS  (PLUS "tOO Tough To DIE", EVEN I IT CAME OUT IN '84.).

Saints  "Eternally Yours''

X-RAY Spex " Germ Free Adolescence.

X - Los Angeles , Wild Gift.

Sex Pistols - Never Mind The Bollocks......

Los Punk Rockers - Never Mind The Bollocks.

Radio Birdman - Radios Appear. 

Vibrators - First two albums.

Damned - FIRST LP.

Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus , Black and White Album.

EATER - the Album

Hartbreakers - DTK , LAMF (YES , PREFERABLY THE REMIXED VERSION) ,  Thunders - "So Alone".

DEAD BOYS  - Young Loud and Snotty.

Dictators - Every album to date ,except "Manifest Destiny" ( I like about half of it.).

Stiff Little Fingers - Inflamable Material.    Produced by Mayo Thompson (Red Krayola , Pere Ubu)

REZILLOS - ALL THREE ALBUMS , TO DATE.. GO SEE 'EM , BUY THEIR SHIT.

NERVEBREAKERS - my Girlfriend is a ROCK (RAVE UP , iTALY) Hijack The Radio (Get Hip , US.) - BOTH RELEASED POSTHUMOUSLY. THE REFORMED BAND STILL PLAYS , ON OCCASION....

hubble bubble (BOTH ALBUMS).

Hammers of The Gods -

Roky Erickson and The Aliens (Self - titled or TEO , OR EVEN FIVE SYMBOLS) .

Kenny and The Kasuals -Garage Kings. (It varies. When they're on , it's Stiff Records - good .)

Ugly Ducklings - Off The Wall.

Downliners Sect - Showbiz. Plus the 45 of "Showbiz" on Raw Records , a far superior version.

Sir Douglas Quintet - Border Wave (If their Ramonesified version of The Kinks' "WHo'll be The Next in Line" DON'T GIT IT , NUTHIN' WILL.)

T Rex "Celebrate Summer". The Groover's LAST STAND.

MICK FARREN and The Deviants "SCREWED UP"  - Farren delivers the 70's Punk goods , joined by a cross - section of Pink Fairies and Deviants members, plus a future Heartbreaker , Ty Styx. Larry Wallis' Punk - Psych leads are the muthahumpin' shit.

Sky Saxon , Stars New Seeds Hale Fruitarians , ORPHEUS THEATRE , , 1977.  (Bootleg.).  Not flat- out Rockin'. More improvsational. Fans of The Seeds and some 70's Psych Space Rock should dig it. Some of The Child Molesters were on it , and Debbie Harry is rumored to have been in the sparse audience....

The Troggs - Live , Whisky A - Go Go ,1980 OR '81(?) (BOOTLEG_ Better than the Max's Kansas ity set , but , never officially released.....which is a goddamned pity. The Troggs are tearing shit UP , just for a change.....

This week CJAM FM did a week long broacast celebrating the first show at Ramones played at CBGB's in 1974 as a four-piece band.  I did two programs focusing on ramones influence.  One program was an hour long and was dedicated to the Toronto punk scene.  It also featured i did with Colin Brunton of the Last Pogo Jumps Again documentary.

Check out my blog post on The Rolling Stones album Sticky Fingers here:  http://revrock.blogspot.ca/2015/07/sticky-fingers-show-569.html

I'm looking for garage (or psychpop, retro-yé-yé etc) with female vocalists that sings in french. Preferably contemporary stuff. The Limiñanas is a good example of the kind of stuff that I'm looking for.

ANd I have an update for those who care... Killed By Porn is going to Youtube.  Simply search Killed By Porn there...

....what I meant was , the sound for the first gig left a lot to be desired , but , the second sounded great. It was a very busy weekend. I also saw Nobunny (Who's returned to Chicago , but , still planning his next move.), The Cynics (Who played to about 40 people , and KILLED it.) , and local faves , The Polkaholics and The Bama Lamas.

MOST OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW , BUT.....Fred made a full recovery and came to Chicago last weekend to play two shows. Unfortunately , after Fred spent a year getting well , Andrew Loomis , Dead Moon's Drummer , had to drop out the tour , because he's very ill. Fred and Toody discussed it with him ,and he maintained that they should not cancel the tour. Not surprisingly , Pierced Arrows' Drummer , Kelly Haliburton , was called in to fill the drum slot. So ,  in theory , it was Pierced Arrows doing a Dead Moon set , but , they were accepted with open arms by the fans , a majority of whom were too young to have seen them , the first time around . It's shameful how many old fucks like me did NOT show up. Despite sounding underrehearsed , this year's Dead Moon brought the rock. Their second , outdoor , show sounded particularly good.  Fred , ever the professional ,made sure the sound people had all their ducks in a row. But , it could have  been better , soundwise. Could have done without the moshpit , but , that's just me.

FRED LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT , AND WAS HIS  QUICK - WITTED SELF AT ALL TIMES.

Still making an ass of bands too young to remember Dead Moon in their heyday , much less even know "You Must Be a Witch".
