Roky IS touring with The Hounds of Baskerville as his backing group , it turns out. Black Angels are doing their own set , that's it. I forgot their name , but , there's a third band , too, Golden Animals or something.....

The Chicago gig is at Park West , Feb. 5. I said it before , but , I can't believe Roky is getting second billing. I don't know how long he's playing , maybe that was a deciding factor. He did'nt get top or equal billing to "Overrated Unanimous" - Alejandro Escovedo , Rosie Flores and Butch Hancock , either, but , they only let him do two songs , when some people came specifically to see HIM (BTW , Alejandro is a very nice guy. Wish I got it wih his music , like 2/3rds of Chicago.).
But , Kopper , I would put out an APB , somebody might have an extra ticket , or you might be able to score tix the night of the show. You never know.
BTW - If you don't see your city on this list , it's probable (And hopeful) that Roky will regroup with his official backing band , and , arguably , his best , since The Explosives , Hounds of Baskerville , after Kaylee , Keyboardist , and Jegar , band leader and Roky's Son , get some parenting in. Their Son is due to be born in about two months. Jegar jokes about a Devil child , when , of course , that baby is going to be so beautiful , it should be blinding. Oh , yeah , Lucifer was , too , scratch that.
But , seeing as how this is a package tour, I think (But can not confirm.) that if and when Roky rejoins some version of The Hounds of Baskerville and commences with a headlining tour (He does'nt normally tour with other bands , unless they're backing him , which Black Angels have , and will be , on this tour.), obvious spots like The West Coast should eventually be covered. Likewise , I would think , for Europe , but , again , I'm only speculating.

Just saw this update from Billy Miller of Norton Records:
Very, very sad news. Norton Records superstar The Mighty Hannibal has passed away. We do not have the full details. He called Norton HQ this morning and was his usual upbeat self and all seemed fine. This is devastating news. A true legend is gone...
January 30, 2014 2:47 PM CST

Ack! This was buried in the Support forum and I totally missed it. I'll have to look at this request when I have more time. Sorry, Gina!

Pete,
Most of our podcasters (if not all) include playlists with their podcast blog posts (in the Blogs section).
Is that what you're looking for?

Anyone here ever heard of them? I just got their debut LP, "Snapshot," and it is very cool. They're a bunch of teen-agers from Ireland who really kick ass. I'm going to see them this March up in New York at the Bowery Ballroom, so I just thought I'd ask.

Kopper ,
YEAH , Mina and I talked about that. She did clear it up that my friend , Axel ,who was involved with the Voodoo Rhythm label in The 90's ( He gave me a few 45s ,inc. one by the Monsters. ) , did'nt own the label , but I'd forgotten who ran THAT corn-dog stand.

Hi , Mina . I'm not sure if I follow you , but "Punkabilly" has been used as a catch - all phrase to describe early bands that had their roots in Rockabilly and Punk , like , obviously , The Cramps , X , Alan Vega , even The Nips. Then , the whole Psychobilly thing happened , and changed the playing field.
It's still "Correct" to say something is "Punkabilly" if it fits that description. Voodoo Rhythm , that was Axel Gieseking's label , right?
No, she's talking about Beat-Man Zeller's label (they've run ads here in the past):

"what do you think of this new term?"
Uh, you're kidding, right? This "term" is probably older than you are...

Thanks, Señor Claus. I will keep an eye open. Hope they pass by Chicago.
January 29, 2014 8:26 AM CST
cute, but uh sorta lacking in the energy department, aren't they????
January 28, 2014 9:45 PM CST
Hey, yeah, they're actually supposed to visit this March, Las Vegas and LA (so I've heard). I've seen them live many times in Tokyo. They were in California last summer. Check out details on their facebook page. Cheers! J
