Radio What Wave Playlist Aug 7 2014
This is our last show for a few weeks. The next couple of shows will be hosted by the infamous Ryan In The Red, former host of CHRW's In The Red and Rock City Madness and current host of Garagepunk Hideout podcast Rock City Madness. It cost big bucks to bring in this top notch radio host, so make sure you tune in as Ryan In The Red has a history of really good musical taste! And he's a good guy too!
1. Dixy Blood....Goo Goo Muck...recorded live 2/22/14 at Kung Fu Necktie in Philly as part of the Lux Interior Tribute. It's been 5 years since Lux passed and he's still 5 years ahead of his time.
2. Space Slave...Don't Want To Fall In Love....recorded live at APK 8/3/14 as part of our Rock'n'Roll Rent Party. This was the first band to play at our first RnRent Party and their first showing of these songs. Next RnRent Party is Sunday Sept 7th.
3. The Mongrels....7 and 7 Is?....recorded live at APK 8/3/14 as part of our RnRent Party. The Mongrels are the resident host band for the festivities.
4. Simply Saucer...Reckless Agitation....from their brand new 12" Baby Nova record.
5. The Ramones....Loudmouth....recorded live at CBGB's in 1976. This is the fired up jet aircraft in the hangar sound these guys perfected. Ramonsarama is happening this weekend at Call The Office in sleepy London Ontario Canada.
6. The Ramones...Do You Wanna Dance?.... as above. Hopefully the answer is yes.
7. The Noble Savages...The Music Will Kill You...from their debut CD. They were opening for Nashville Pussy on the night this show aired.
8. Dustbin Flowers...Saturday's Ashes...from their II CD. Local combo who play out fairly often.
9. Dave Rave...4th Of July...brand new demo from Dave Rave. Dave has a brand new combo w/Gordie Lewis, which makes 2 former Teenage Heads in one band! They debuted a coupla weeks back but probably won't be playing often as Dave is constantly touring across North America and Europe.
10. The Above...Dog Without A Bone...from the brand new Waterbury Street LP.
11. RunPerryRun....Left In The Dark...Brantford Ontario combo who have been around for at least 15 years as i was informed while airing this show. Keep the calls and info coming in please!
12. Frankie and Jimmy....Just Like A Woman....from the Scream The Blues LP. The copies of the LP have arrived at F&J's Chicken Shack and the records are starting to arrive in stores right now, so be sure to pick up a copy real soon!
13. catl...Resistance Place...from the This Shakin' House LP.
14. Chris Farlowe....Voodoo...from the Buzz With The Fuzz LP on Decal Records. This is Chris' 1963 to 65 recordings, some of which were unreleased as was this particular track. Chris is still alive and well and belting out the tunes to appreciative crowds in his native UK.
15. Flight Reaction...The World Is Black...from their self titled debut LP. Swedish combo with Mans P Mannson of Crimson Shadows and Maggots fame.
16. Marshmallow Overcoat....Groovy Little Trip...from their recent The Very Best Of double LP. Vocalist Timothy Gassen is on the verge of releasing his latest book, The Knights Of Fuzz, the complete encyclopedia of the 80's to current garage band music. The about to be released book is over 500 pages of info, pics, discographies and trivia for us garageband freaks. I've seen/proofread part of it and there's literally a TON of essential info all in one place. Ordering details real soon!
17. Kumari...She Was Mine...from their latest single of Lost In Tyme Records from Greece.
18. Young Rival...Black Is Good....from a recent CFMU download, the MacMaster University Radio station in Hamilton Ontario.
19. Foot In Cold Water...Yalla Yae...from their self titled debut LP from the early 70's. This part of our show is on so called cheesy Canuck combos as there was a discussion of this on facebook recently. What i've done, is played the much better, non-cheesy tune that didn't get played on AM radio. Foot In Cold Water had a hit on Canadian radio called Make Me Do Anything You Want....wimpy poppy orchestrated cheese. Yalla Yae is more along the lines of Arthur Brown meets Deep Purple.
20. The Guess Who....It's My Pride....from the self titled LP on Birchmount. The Guess Who released a lotta crap, but i like to blame it all on guitarist Domenic Troiano, the Canadian destroyer of bands...ie James Gang and The Guess Who. He was a talented guitar player but as soon as he joined a band they quite often went down the tubes. My opinion only as others regard him highly.
21. The Stampeders....Wild Eyes...early 70's single. These guys were on constant rotation on Canadian AM radio in the early 70's with Sweet City Woman. But they could rock out live as i remember catching them at the Western Fair here in sleepy London Ontario sometime in the 80's.
22. Platinum Blonde...No Regrets...self released single from when they were a punk combo. From their they changed into a Police tribute band and finally into a hairspray and makeup pretty boy combo that pre-teen girls liked....maybe that was what the band was into. I remember seeing them a few times at the Cedar Lounge in the late 70's/early 80's and they were really good until they became Police clones.
23. Ugly Ducklings...Just In Case You Wonder...1966 7" and did not get the airplay of their wimply ballad, Gaslight, which brought them some fame on AM radio. Avoid Gaslight and dig up their debut LP as it's a killer!! BTW Just In Case was one of the very first singles i bought as a kid and severely warped my musical taste of lack thereof.
24. Chilliwack....Lonesome Mary....from their Segue LP. Dunno why these guys were linked with cheesy Canadian combos as they had a powerpop edge in the 70's. This and Fly At Night still rank as some of my fave pre-punk Canuck songs that got radio airplay. Had to cut this short as we ran outta time but certainly not tunes.
Big thanx for all the phone ins during this show as we could barely keep up with the calls! And thanx for the emails, facebook messages and Heys!!
Back in a few weeks as Ryan In The Red takes over.
