Show #361: "Bands & Artists Starting With A, Part 6"

Every 3 weeks I do a series of shows I call the "Alphabetical Series" where I randomly draw a letter of the alphabet from a hat. Whatever letter I draw, I take all the bands and artists in my collection (from the 50's, 60's & 70's only) that start with that letter and play them in strict alphabetical order one by one until I run out of time. This week I drew the letter "A". This is the sixth time I've drawn the letter "A", so I will start from where I left off on show #5 (which was with The Arbors). So, tune in tonight (Friday at 10:00pm EST) to hear 3 hours of bands and artists that start with "A" like: Arc, Arcadium, Arcesia, The Archies, Archimedes Badkar, Ardo Dombec, Ardy & Lassess Oronpaj, Area, Argent, Argosy, Ariane, Ariel, Ariesta Birawa Group, The Ark, The Arkay IV, Arkham, Armageddon, Armaggedon, Armand, Joan Armatrading, Desi Arnaz Jr, and many others!!!

i try to get us in kaleidoskull to dress the same,but all we can pull off is matching cigarette burns,beer stains and puke spots

Cool: motorcycle jackets, jean jackets (bonus: sleeves cut off), studs, buttons, burger t-shirts, garbage bags as clothing, animal masks, hair bows, raccoon hats, pizza, bandannas, aprons, German motorcycle helmets, 1970s Joan Jett hair, stripes, knives, bow ties, Mad magazine, Ramones, spandex, tennis shoes, fat girls, Flying V, greaser.

Uncool: paisley, ruffled shirts, bell bottoms, wallet chains, neckerchiefs, mailman, velvet, guns, matching suits, hippie, tambourines, brown hair, rockabilly, turtle necks, goatees, space suits, brown vests, wrestling masks, CBGB t-shirts, polka dots, cocktails, Beatle boots, Beatle hair, scarfs, spy theme, fat guys, Vox guitars, 1980s version of the 1960s

We have multiple matching outfits: Gold dresses, sparkly blue dresses, black dresses, a stripes theme. We get to pretend we're 5 year old quadruplets and shop for matching outfits. It rules. 

Bands that have a look ALWAYS get my thumbs up even if they stink "musically". XD My old band The Reverbians was a perfect example.  Not the greatest musically but we wore the masks & matching stripe shirts.  It was dumb & didn't have anything to do with the "theme" of the band, but that was exactly what we were going for.  Wanted people to walk in a bar where we were playin' & go...what the fuck?!....I gotta see this shit!".  

We gots the animal house frat rock suit thing I guess.  Not necessarily a "uniform" but like ya sez, you're putting on a show dammit!  I can't stand when I go see a band that's supposed to be in this genre & they just get up there in whatever they wore that day...lame.

We all wear wrestling masks, so that's kind of like a theme.

Many years ago...

Well, maybe he was hoping to work on both things at once, and now he realizes that he can't do that.  Again, I'm just taking a guess.

If this is true, it's sad, but they've been around forever, so maybe it's just as well that they're finally calling it a day.

Well this sucks!

Yeah for at least 3 or 4 years now

 

Hasn't he had that for several years, though?

MikeL said:

BTW, I just remembered something...Andy Babiuk now has his own musical instrument and gear store, so maybe he wanted to call it quits so he could focus on his business.  This is just my guess.

that's a bummer

 

greg was supernice when I met him at the HOG, been a while now but he just generally seemed pretty cool

 

berlin wall of sound still gets rocked pretty regularly

  He made that foot -in -ass Rock'n'Roll album ,"Run Devil Run" with original UK GUITAR GOD, Mick Green , and Guitar GOOD , Dave Gilmour....also that Whitesnake guy , Ian Paice (I'm kidding.).  It t

THAT'S TERRIBLE !!!!

Wasn't Paul McCartney married to that lady from Dancing with the Stars?

Playlist for Wednesday Feb 15/2012 4PM as a fill-in for Shakin' Katz, a rockabilly show on CHRW.

1. Dex Romweber Duo...Jungle Drums...from the latest record, Is That You In The Blue?  Dex and Sara are possibly the coolest sibling act in the planet right now...Collins Kids haven't done anything in ages.

2. The Cramps...Drug Train....from the File Under Sacred Music box set of 10 Cramps singles that just came out. On Munster Records.

3. The Cramps...Lonesome Town...as above.

4. The Cramps...The Way I Walk...as above.

5. The Cramps...Domino...as above. Thanx to the guy who phoned in and said this made his day after a crappy shift at work!!

6. Wanda Jackson...Funnel Of Love...from the Heart Trouble CD and features Lux and Ivy.

7. Maow...Mean Mean Man...from the Unforgiving Sounds Of CD on Mint Records...and features Neko Case on lead vocals on this one...couldn't remember her name for the life of me when i was yammering and she's even slept on our couch at one point many moons ago.

8. Bob And Lucille...Eeny Meeny Miney Mo....from the Bear Records comp called Shakin' Up North of 50's rockabilly. Bob and Lucille later became the Canadian Sweethearts and released several LP's with a more country sound, but some of the songs still had that rockabilly edge.

9. The Royal Crowns...Bettie Page...from the 32 Miles From Memphis CD. Toronto rockabilly combo that features Teddy Fury of BopCats fame on the tubs.

10. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners...Willing And Ready...from the Crazy Date LP. Ray was the epitome of cool....always well dressed, skinny as a rail, smart as fuck, great taste in music and a really cool dude who played some of the finest rockabilly to ever come out of Canada. Check out the Ray Condo facebook page as we've posted a stack of pics from some of his shows here in London Ontario back in the 80's.

11. Ray Condo and His Hardrock Goners...Could She Kiss....from the Hot and Cold LP. There could be a live LP of this combo coming out in the near future...

12. The Reekers...Grindin'....from the latest Mongrel Zine compilation CD.

13. The Bop Cats...Bop A Lena....from a 7' they released in the late 70's. These cats always put on a great show whenever they came to London. They played one New Years at The Cedar Lounge here in London and were joined by John Catto of The Diodes on guitar. Wish i had my camera that night!

14. Orangie Ray Hubbard....Is She Sore?..from the Cincinnati Rock and Roll 1950's Compilation LP that i picked up at the record show....Ya, it's the same fucking song that The Customs did back in 1979 that i'm listening to as i type this out. Fucking Customs rule and i always thought Is She Sore? was an original Customs tune. But it all makes sense as Orangie Ray was a Cincinatti rockabilly legend and The Customs came from there...pay homage to your hometown is the lesson learned here!

15. Rockin' Ronnie Dawson...Action Packed...from the Greatest Hits CD. The Blonde Bomber before his voice changed....lol...a late 50's killer from this Texan. We got to see Ronnie about 20 years ago here in London and of course i had to yell out for Rockin' Bones which sure got Ronnies attention and he did it later just for me! 

16. Bloodshot Bill...Thunder and Lightning...from the LP of the same name on Norton Records and this and the next 2 songs were dedicated to BB's gal Alex as it was her birthday the day before!

17. Tandoori Knights....Bucketful...from the Norton LP Curry Up and has King Khan in tag team with Bloodshot.

18. The Ding Dongs...Ding Dong Party...from their self titled LP on Norton and has Mark Sultan in tag with Bloodshot.

19. Panther Burns...She's The One That's Got It....from the Behind The Magnolia Curtain LP. PB played at Fryfogles here in London right after releasing this LP...and they never came back again as we always had to travel to Toronto to see them.

20. Panther Burns...Train Kept A Rollin'...from a live 7" record on Frenzi Records.

21. Carl Perkins...Her Love Rubbed Off...from the double Greatest Hits LP. Carl at his most primitive.

22. Mel Smith...Pretty Plaid Skirt....from Desperate Rock'n'Roll Volume 1.

23. The Sci-Phonics...I'm Ready....live at The Wortley 12/5/92 and was handed to me by lead guitarist Jack at the record show the other day...he said 'i know you'll appreciate this!'...lol...

24. The Sci-Phonics...Uranium Rock...as above.

25. Frank Ridsdale...Be Bop A Lula....recorded live on Radio What Wave 10/16/10. Frank was in The Sci-Phonics and Uranus.

26. Uranus...53 Buick...from their first self released 7" from about 1979. Uranus reforms on friday Oct 26th so mark your calendars....

27. Uranus...You're So Square....from their top 10 hit on AM radio across Canada back in 1980. Why these guys aren't in the London Music Hall Of Fame is a fucking crime!!!! 

28. The Paladins...Jump Up and Bop....from the R&R LP released on Star Records in 1984. This is a Canadian band and features former Bop Cat and insane guitarist Duane Wayne!

29. The Paladins...Hold On...from their self titled LP. This is a totally different band, from the west coast of the US and these guys have released several LP's, all really good rock'n'roll styled!

30. The Blasters...Marie Marie...from the Teenage Cruisers LP from 1980 on Rockin' Ronnie Weiser's label in conjunction with Rhino. This is from a soundtrack to a rockabilly porno flick...no KY was used, just Brylcreem!!

31. The Zantees....Blonde Bombshell...from the Out For Kicks LP on Bomp Records 1980. Real rockabilly that has enough treble to shred your eardrums!!! Zantees morphed into The A Bones who are still active up to this day! And just as wyld as back in the early days!!!

32. Hip Bone Slim and The Knee Tremblers...Nothin' To Me...from the Square Guitar LP on Dirty Water Records outta the UK.

33. Dustaphonics...Burlesque Queen...from the Party Girl LP on Dirty Water Records and features the lyrics of Tura Satana....of Faster Pussy Cat Kill Kill. And i managed to get a bunch of Russ Meyer flicks at the record show as well....i'm in hooter heaven now!

34. The Leroi Brothers...Shake Some Action...from the LP of the same name....Texas troublemakers!!

35. Pink Cadillac Scat Cats...Joleena...from the Rip It Up CD....London rockers...

That's it, ran outta time but certainly not records. Thanx for all the call-ins, emails, facebook shouts etc....i'm back on air on Tuesday Feb 21 with Kevin of local band The Kards and we'll be doing the radio world debut of their brand new CD!

Here's where to find the podcast, you have to scroll down to Wed at 4PM or thereabouts and it'll be in a couple of parts...

With digital home recording becoming commonplace, and websites like CD Baby and other pay-per-download outlets allowing bands to completely cut out the record companies, the definition of "garage" is becoming very blurred. The misconception that garage=lo-fi doesn't help. The sixties garage bands records were only  lo-fi because that's all they could afford. How much different would garage music be today if the bands of the sixties had the home recording opportunities that we have now? Just food for thought.

Real garage is raw, full of soul, and fun as hell. It pays homage to the passion of the late greats, keeps a solid rockin rhythm, and is immune to whatever bullshit wave of popular music is influencing the masses.

There IS danger, there IS passion, there IS an interactive and  dancing crowd because the music itself is addictively accessible. It's Rock 'n Roll, in it's purest, unrefined form. 

Just because you use a lot of distortion, just because you label yourself as garage... it doesn't make you garage. If the crowd ain't swingin with the beat, you just don't got it.

And fuck what the music critics say! The wankers are just trying to redefine genres because they're not creative enough to figure out something accurately descriptive. Garage rock is the essence of cool, but any attempts to capitalize on the art are missing the point. 

Well said !

can i write a song with " genitals have heart too" as a title ??

Hey, genitals have heart, too...

At least, mine do, and, dare I say, soul...

That's what it's all about. That's where the joy comes from.

they havent been released yet but probly will be reasonably low

THEE DIRTYBEATS said:

Cool - was unaware of The Vox Apache: http://www.voxamps.com/guitars/apache/

What do they go for?

A few observations, right off the bat:

The VOX Apache teardrop has no whammy bar, nor third bridge; but it does have the VOX name and styling, plus an onboard amplifier (!), onboard effects (!!), and onboard speakers (!!!).

The latter three features certainly open up some busking possibilities, e.g. garage rock on a subway.

THEE DIRTYBEATS said:

Hi Ben,

Have you checked out the KAPA Minstrel? There are 6 and 12 string models, both with a whammy. The one I play in THEE DIRTYBEATS (see attached photo) is a 1967 KAPA Minstrel 6 string with a whammy bar. I got it on eBay for around $300.

*Great* guitar. KAPA was a tiny musical instrument company near DC in the 60s. They designed the bodies, manufactured them locally, and assembled the finished product using hardware, electronics and necks from Hofner and Harmony. KAPA guitars played reasonably well; more significantly, they were far cheaper than Fenders, Gibsons or Voxes, which probably explains their popularity with garage rock bands of the day.

These days the KAPA Minstrel is appreciated by postrock bands for its unique tone, vibrato system, and generous "third bridge", the stretch of strings between the bridge and tailpiece, from which one can elicit chiming harp-like effects. (e.g. SONIC YOUTH's Lee Ranaldo occasionally uses a 12 string Minstrel: http://www.sonicyouth.com/mustang/eq/gtr11.html)
