Oh and Metz:

i saw this band last year and:

1)they were great

2)they hurt my ears real real bad.

Uh, that was a test post and now I see you can't edit.  I like that band.  There are a lot more from the Bay Area that I want to post . . .  More soon.

Not a new band, but the new Maharajas record is a great one.

On my record player right now: New records by The Teamsters (UK), The Youth (DK) and Graham Day & The Forefathers (UK). All great stuff.

Radio What Wave Playlist Nov 13 2014

We've got Nick Perry (original drummer for The Demics and NFG) as a special guest as we remember Robert Brent, original guitarist for London Ontario's first punk band, The Demics. Rob passed away last week...so this week we play many Demics tunes with Rob on guitar.

1. The Demics....Oh Well....from the New York City CD on OPM Music from 1996, as are all The Demics tunes that follow. This is an alternate version of Oh Well and as Nick explained, singer Keith Whittaker wrote this while riding on the bus to Rob's house for a practice.

2. The Demics....I Wanna Know....from the NYC CD as above.

3. The Demics....You Tell Me....as above.

4. The Demics...Talk's Cheap...as above.

5. The Demics....New York City....as above. This is the song that The Demics are most remembered for. That perfect anthem that sums up trying to escape for something that must be better than what you presently have. And it made the top of some bogus chart of the best singles from Canada or something like that. This song rocks and charts suck! Nick explained how and why Keith wrote this one, listen to the archived show for the story.

6. The Demics....Oh Well...as above. This is the version that came on the Talk's Cheap EP on Ready Records from 1979. This was the first punk rock record outta London Ontario and the first release on Ready Records which was based in Toronto. This, and the above 4 songs comprised that EP.

7. The Demics...Cowboys Are Fags....as above, but unreleased. This might have been inspired by some of the pictures in some of the zines that Mike Niederman released around the time of this tune being written. Pics of well hung muscular young men wearing chaps, guns and little else.

8. The Demics....Factories...as above.

9. The Demics....Talk Talk....as above, but this was recorded live at The Schooner Inn, St Thomas Ontario, spring 1979. 60's garagepunk was a big inspiration to The Demics and many like minded bands of the time. I can still see singer Keith spitting out the words into the mic from the stage of The Cedar Lounge in London Ontario. It knocked me on my ass that these guys would cover material like this, and do it justice!

10. The Demics...All Gone Wrong.... as above, live at the Schooner Inn.

11. The Demics....The Gift....as above.

12. The Demics...Lost Woman Blues...as above. Nick remembered seeing singer Keith's highschool band covering this tune in the very early 70's.

13. The Demics....Blue Boy... as above. One of my fave Demic tunes and one that would always get me up and going.

14. The Demics....Mercy Killer... as above.

15. Mettle....5/4...from the Domestic Animals cassette compilation. Mettle was the minimalistic art rock band that Rob Brent formed after leaving The Demics. Total opposite direction, but totally makes sense as Rob was the thinking man of The Demics and loved a lot of non-punk inspired music.  Mettle released a 12" in 1982 that CHRW played the shit out of back in the day. Mettle was around for a couple of years and moved in a dance/funk direction which some UK postpunk bands did back then. Roze White (Ukase) joined on vocals and they renamed the combo Camino Real.
Back to the Domestic Animals cassette, this was compiled by Peter Moore (ya, that guy that does mastering for the big name bands nowadays as well as works on CBC documentaries and countless other projects....and did i mention he was also the best fucking DJ  this station ever had? Ya, he went by the name of Simon Less as he'd do bad things and get kicked off air, hence the name. But he was my fave DJ up there with the knob from Young Fast And Scientific!) and Gerry Collins (he was in Mettle, Cicadas and more) and was released without the bands on the compilation knowing anything about it! Many heard their songs for the first time right here on CHRW!! Released in April 1983 and you could pick it up at Records On Wheels in downtown London. Records On Wheels was the ONLY place to get punk rock records until Dr Disc opened up in the early 80's. This cassette was the first tangible evidence that London Ontario had a viable underground music scene. First edition, 50 copies.

16. The Scenics...Oh Boy....from the Last Pogo CD. Rob Brent was good pals with Andy Meyers of The Scenics and almost joined The Scenics at one point. Andy also had a record store here in London back in the mid 80's, SE corner of Wellington and Clarence, lower level.

17. The Scenics....Waiting For My Man...from the How Does It Feel To Be Loved CD. The Scenics and The Demics played together many times, sharing gigs here in London and Toronto.

18. Shakey Jack....I Won't See You No More....from The Demics Covers CD that Nick Perry released back in 1998. Shakey Jack is actually Jack Whiteside, former lead guitarist of Uranus, Sci-Phonics and many others as well as his present combo, The Psycho Daisies. Uranus and The Demics used to alternate weekends at The Cedar Lounge back in the late summer, early fall of 1978. Uranus fucking rocked!!

That's a wrap, big thanx to Nick Perry for coming on air to talk about those great times in London's musical history. Robert Brent....RIP!

Since this has taken life as a history lesson, here's 5 essential sources for info on London Ontario's late 70's and upwards musical history/scene/whatever. If you have any interest, give them a read or watch...

1. Treat Me Like Dirt...By Liz Worth, Bongo Beat Books 2009. This is an oral history of the punk rock scene in Toronto, Hamilton and London from the mid 70's up to the early 80's.

2. Graphic Underground: London 1977-1990...Brian Lambert McIntosh Gallery 2013. This accompanied the art exhibit of the posters, zines and artwork of the era as on display at Forest City Gallery. It's a book about the posters, zines and ephemera of the punk rock scene.

3. What Wave 24...Rena and Dave O'Halloran. Longtime London based zine returns for the above art show. The family trees of the London Ontario and area bands from the mid 70's to early 90's. Comes with a 90m cassette featuring unreleased songs from some of the bands from that era.

4. Stinkin' Out The Joint....Mario Circelli 2003. Documentary of the London and area punk scene. Mario was the Manager of CHRW for many years prior to the release of this film.

5. Last Pogo Jumps Again....Colin Brunton and Kire Paputts. Documentary of the early Toronto and area scene that has just been released on DVD. Have not seen this one yet, but it is HIGHLY recommended by those that have.

Thanx for all the phone calls and encouragement.....much appreciated!!!  Back again next week with more noise to annoy.

The show is archived for 2 weeks here:

Radio What Wave Playlist November 6/2014

First off, Huge Thanx to everyone that came out to our monthly Rock'n'Roll Rent Party last sunday!! Not only did The Mongrels meet the challenge from the Boy From Nowhere to meet or beat their $50 pledge to CHRW, but the crowd at the event put in another $100!!!! Yep, a grand total of $150 for CHRW!! Thanx to all!

And on tonite's show, we've got a couple of special guests, we've got FenyxFyre and Tyler Stewart. FenyxFyre is a sideshow freak artist....meaning he can breathe fire, swallow swords, eat glass, stick foreign objects into his body and do tricks with chainsaws among other feats. In other words, this guy is the real deal as he's recently appeared on AMC Freakshow!!! And he is going to be appearing at an event that Tyler Stewart is promoting at Gordy's Brewhouse.

1. King Tuff....Beautiful Thing....from the Black Moon Spell CD that just came out. This CD has been stuck in my car CD player for about a week and it's quickly becoming one of my faves.

2. Giggleswitch....How Good You Look....from their VII CD. Liam, who played bass in Giggleswitch, is now in Cross The Streams, which is playing at the freak show.

3. Giggleswitch....Polythylene...as above.

4. King Tuff.....Black Holes In Stereo...from the Black Moon Spell CD.

5. catl....FU Blues....from This Shakin' House LP. catl are playing at the Black Shire Pub tonite. They rock!!

6. catl...Shakin' House Blues....as above.

7. catl....Get Outta The Car....from the This Soon Will All Be Gone LP. Originally recorded by Hasil Adkins, catl quite often play this song live and dedicate it to a DJ from this radio station.

8. Frankie And Jimmy....Hard Time Killing Floor Blues....from the Scream The Blues LP. Frankie and Jimmy are opening for catl tonite at Black Shire Pub.

9. Wilko Johnson....Keep It To Myself...from the Going Back Home CD. WIlko was diagnosed with terminal cancer and wasn't expected to live for long. He beat the cancer and is now clean!!!! Congrats to Wilko!!!! Maybe, just maybe rock'n'roll is the cure for cancer!!!

10. Cream....Dance The Night Away....from Disreali Gears LP. This goes out to Jack Bruce who passed away about a week ago. Cream were my absolute fave band back in 1968/69 and introduced me to the blues at a really young age! And this particular LP, I've owned since about 1970 and used to play the shit out of it!

11. Cream....Those Were The Days....from the Wheels Of Fire LP. Another LP I've owned since the early 70's.

12. Terminals....Spiderman....from the We Killed cassette and goes out to regular listener Dan.

Huge Thanx to FenyxFyre for coming on air, putting scissors up his nostils and for eating the light bulb. There's video on the Radio WW page on facebook.

Big thanx for all the phone calls, emails, facebook messages and Heys!! Back again next week, looks like a tribute to original Demic Rob Brent who passed away last night. In the process of lining up some guests for next week's show.

KimPaisleyTerror ,

Yeah , I guess The Bay Area is more open about busking. In Chicago , you generally need a license , and you need to SUCK. Esp. in the subway stations , whenre the money is. But , I'm sure , if you do that , and some parties , you'll meet people who can help you get club dates. Do you know Russell Quan? He's a very nice guy. He might have some advice...

John.

John Battles said:

Paisley Terror , It seems like the availability of venues to play live music has been getting shifted around in the Bay Area. I may be mistaken , but , whenever I'm down there , it seems like a few places have closed and maybe some new ones have turned up. Do you ever try San Jose ? I've only been to San Francisco , Berkely and Oakland in the past 15 years or so....It seems like San Jose is picking up , but , as a "One Man Band" (Though I don't call myself that...) , I understand , if you do your own thing , it's harder to find an audience. But , they're out there. You may want to start with house parties , or even busking on the street , if you can.

 

Yeah, I think I'm going to start busking and playing outside of SF/Oakland.  It's mostly my fault, though - I don't have good recordings which makes it hard to book shows.  I'm working on a record this week so hopefully I'll be playing more shows soon!

I'll back down on this one and try and check out their first album ; ) Although I'll stick with my guns and continue to say that elephant and afterwards was very commercial in nature.

Danny said:

 

You could argue for the Black Lips but I can't see it in the White Stripes.  Sure Jack White's background was in garage rock but the White Stripes were always a very commercial sounding band which for me is very un-garage punk.  Its nothing against Jack White but the White Stripes were always a band designed to sell millions of records.  For me personally a part and parcel of garage punk is to not be that.

 

Well, that's not really anything to do with the style of music they're playing.  I mean, if a band wants to make money, that's their business.  Also, I would disagree that they sound commercial.  The roots of their sound were always based in garage rock, and they also had a quirky, experimental side to their music.  Personally, I think it's weird that they got as big as they did in the first place.  I don't know how to explain it.

køpper said:

Black Lips are definitely garage punk. You can hear '60s punk in their music, esp. '60s trash like the Keggs, et al. Just because they got big doesn't make them any less garage punk. Same for the White Stripes, Hives, etc. It's all good. If you don't like a particular band's style, that's fine. But don't demean them by saying they don't fall within a certain genre...

You're not wrong there, Kopper.

The White Stripes' first three albums were on Sympathy for the Record Industry. NONE of those albums had a commercial sound. Hell, they were a two-piece, primitive as hell. They were unique and good at what they did, and got noticed. That's why they got signed and made it big. Had nothing to do with being commercial. Seriously, listen to their first three albums. I used to play them on my radio show along with all the other garage stuff from back in that time period and fit right in, back before they were a household name. Just because they made it big later on does not diminish the fact that their early stuff is DEAD-ON garage rock.

My mum is more punk than Sum 41. It's a bad article not the worst. They interviewed King Khan and I love the guy so it's worth a read. Deffo don't agree with the White Stripes and the Black Lips being garage punk. I think the author was just scratching around for big names to insert into the article.

I read the feature and I thought the big names were inserted to attract readers. Mind you, they got King Khan accurately and gave him the credit he was due.
