FELIX , YOU'RE WELCOME. A lot of the old school UK Punk bands still tour the states , but , often ,there's only one or two original members . Sometimes , that's OK , as with Eddie and The Hot Rods. Other times, like The Vibrators....They're cool people , but , without Knox , I don't know. He was the personality of the band , their sole frontman. HE STILL WORKS WITH THEM , THO'. I saw Slaughter and THE DOGS , TWICE. They bring the Rock , but , I had to miss them recently. There are two competing versions of Sham 69 , one is comprised entirely , or mostly ,of members of the post - Jimmy Pursey lineup. THE OTHER , NEWER , VERSION FEATURES PURSEY , AND i'M DRAWING A BLANK ON THE GUITARIST'S NAME.....
Vice Squad has played teh US sporadically , as has Chelsea ....other bands like Penetration , Lurkers, etc. seem to be doing The UK and Western Europe , exclusively. Admittedly some of them are 'nt well known in The US.
tHE NEW STANDELLS LINEUP , i'VE SEEN TWICE ,AND i'VE TRIED TO BE OBJECTIVE....
Larry's singing has improved a great deal (I saw Dickie , Tony , and Larry in '99 , THEE Standells.) , he's coming into his own as a frontman (Yes , it was his group from the start , but , you think of The Standells , you think of the late Dick Dodd.). You've got John Fleckenstein from the original (UNRECORDED) LOVE lineup , AND , IN MY OPINION , THE BEST STANDELLS LINEUP , THE "TRY IT" LP , AND HE'S A MONSTER BASS PLAYER AND A SUPER NICE GUY, and the drummer is good , holds things together, but , then you have this somewhat younger guy (Probably in his 40's) on guitar , and he employs all these 80's Metal "shred" techniques . HE'S REALLY TRYING , HE SEEMS TO WANT TO PLEASE the audience , BUT, IT DOES'NT WORK. They do the old songs , and even some of the new songs work.
They could be following in on The Sonics' recent success , but ,all due respect , they'd need to pull from their past , more.
As far as 50's acts who are still alive , and still doing good shows , Jerry Lee still kicks ass. He has off nights , still , I would'nt doubt it , but , I saw him about three years ago. It was the sixth time I'd seen him , and the BEST.
Then , you have Sleepy La Beef , Huelyn Duvall , Sonny Burgess , Joe Clay , Hayden Thompson , Art Adams , Gene Summers , Ray Campi , and others who are still around , but , probably retired. You might look up the Rockabilly Hall of Fame website to see who's playing out. A lot of these people , Sleepy EXCLUDED , ONLY PLAY OUT SPORADICALLY , BUT , YOU NEVER KNOW.
If you ever go to Memphis , though , look for Charlie Feathers' son , Bubba Feathers. One of the best Rockabilly sets I've ever seen.

....It seems , too , that a lot of the original bands who have reformed , AND were still really good , have broken up again.....But , there's still ? and The Mysterians , The Alarm Clocks ,The Rezillos , Eddie and The Hot Rods , The Gizmos , Downliners Sect , Chocolate Watchband * , Dictators NYC ( It's still The Dictators , from where I stand . ) , Buzzcocks , Ty Wagner (Tho' he's not playing out , much.), Bubble Puppy , The Nervebreakers , The Mentally Ill , Strawberry Alarm Clock , Davie Allan and The Arrows , Thee Midniters , Electric Prunes , Blues Magoos , Powder , Syndicate of Sound ....some of these bands may have retired from performing , but , most , if not all , of them are still active.
*The Chocolate Watchband was on hiatus for several years. Then , they were scheduled to play in San Francisco , last April . My Girlfriend and I had tix , but , the show was cancelled with no explanation. Several months later , Mark Loomis , original Guitarist , passed away. He'd only played with the reformed group when he was available. Whether or not they're planning to play out again , I could'nt say.
Thanks John! Thats a big bunch of great bands that I didn't know where active.
Apparently The Standells are active now. Looking for gigs it seems.
Also seems that The Stranglers pretty much never gave up. Samething for UK Subs.
If anyone know of any cool artists from the fifties that are active that would also be really cool. Like Wanda Jackson.

YEAH , The Boys are BACK (Sounds like a song....), tho' I don't think they ever officially split , just went on hiatus , maybe , because they've been doing club dates and Punk fesivals, off and on , since THE 9O's.
They've got a new release , "Punk Rock Menopause". I don't have it , but , I'm sure it's very good. They played in Chicago about six months ago , and they were ON FIRE. The band was tight , the harmonies were spot on . and they were very professional. They said they plan to come back here , within the year , so , if you don't live TOO far away , it would be worth the trip , if that happens.....I'M sure they'll do more US dates , but , this one was the 5th or 6th US show , ever , and you could tell they were blown away by the response.
The Boys ?
Anyone know of any good bands from the sixties and seventies that are active today? Mainly looking for garage, psych or punk. I just know of a couple of bands like The Pretty Things, The Sonics, Radio Birdman.

Check out John Schooley's last couple albums... Dead Mall Blues and The Man Who Rode a Mule Around the World. Good stuff!

Man , I almost forgot . GREAT EXAMPLE OF AN EARLY pUNK bLUES 45 WOULD BE THE UNCALLED FOUR'S "Grind Her Up" b/w "Cotton Fields". Based in Waco (!) , the band centered around marrieds , Randy and Donna Reeves , two Rock'n'Roll lifers (Sadly , Donna left this life a few years ago. She was a great , great lady). RANDY WOULD GO ON TO WRITE FOR NEXT bIG tHING , AND PLAY A CRUCIAL FACTOR IN GETTING Ronnie Dawson's classic material released on vinyl. HE ALSO RECORDED JACK STARR'S LAST SESSIONS , MADE VIDEOS ON HIM , AND LED NOTORIOUS THE ROBERT TILTON FAN CLUB.The Reeves dropped out of performing upon starting a family. Donna hosted a Rockabilly program on KNON radio in Dallas....THE BAND WAS ORIGINALLY JOINED BY JEFF SATAN , later with Sata's Cheerleaders and Satan's Satellites , and aspired to a sound something akin to The Cramps ,Tav Falco and early solo Alex Chilton , but , came up with something entirely their own , a truly fucked up car-crash blend off PUNK AND BLUES that foresaw the rise of The Gibson Bros. THE BAND MADE A VIDEO FOR "GRIND HER UP" a few years later. Look it up on You Tube.
