      Me i'm hoping that there are some clips posted from the saturday night triple threat of Luis and the Wildfires, Untamed Youth and the Randy Fuller Four. All three were outstanding and escalated the energy level. Don't think i'll ever be with that many people who get it again. Only three others around here know what i'm talking about and two were at the shows.

      Many thanks to all the staff from Norton Records who made it all possible.

      If Norton sells a 25th anniversary t-shirt it needs to include the words "I Survived"

      I need that "I Survived" shirt...  although to be honest with you, before the Sonics started I didn't think I would, I thought I was gonna lose it.

       

      And I agree with Mace, The Swingin Neckbreakers were great.  Lots of stuff off of Live for Buzz.

      The Neckbreakers always reminded me a bit of The Real Kids , who , I hope , will be able to return to live work.  It seems like Billy and Miriam kept a cool head thru all the craziness.

      We owe 'em , BIG.   jOHN.

      This really was something special...nice to see the efforts of two such amazing people celebrated with an appropriate level of enthusiasm.  The bands were all terrific, but for me I have to say the Swingin' Neckbreakers add-on to replace the Real Kids topped off the whole event!

      Pat , I see. somehow , your message kept turning uplike it was new...No big thing , tho'.

      I left this message some months ago... i'm in France .

       


      John Battles said:

      Pat , did you just leave this message ? It reads like you did . I could be mistaken , my apologies if I am. Tonight (Sunday) is the last night. My friend told me you could'nt get tickets for love or money , if you just showed up on the street , but that a couple of people got in on one , but not all four , nights after some heavy hustling. It was that way  for that OTHER festival....

      John Battles said:

      It's the same all over. I saw The Cynics last week with about 35 people , and The Fleshtones , several months ago , to maybe fewer , still. The Woggles do OK when they're here , but they have'nt been in several years. In the 90's , when the economy was better , and there was a band boom , I bought way more new records than I needed. Some of the new "Garage" bands I only really needed to listen to once or twice , and then move on. Whereas , I first saw The Fleshtones in '84 , and The Cynics in '87 or early '88. They still bring the rock (Super Rock !), so , I'll still go see 'em....I can tell the hipsters , my Garage Rock is still alive , sorry about yours.

      Rinjo Njori said:

      This is NYC and Garage Rock shows for the big boys (Dirtbombs, Gories, Black LIps, etc. ) fill places like the Bowery, but bands like The Woggles, Fleshtones,etc. can barely fill a 100 person venue. Reigning Sound played at the Bell House but I missed the show.
      The Bellhouse is great, not too big and not too small. It's rectangluar, but the stage is on the long side so no matter where you stand your pretty close to the stage. I would guess there will be more out of towners than actual New Yorkers.

      Pat said:

      Does anyone knows how many tickets are available ?? is the venue big enough ??

       

      i 'll try to figure how to get there, i've just come back from NY two weeks ago !!!!

      Epic NYC siege for two nights of Norton and the Sonics at Maxwell's. Thanks to Billy and Miriam for knowing how to have fun.
