Radio What Wave Playlist July 19/2021 London Music Club Special

This show is about the recently closed down, London Music Club. In its 17 or so years existence, this club hosted literally a ton of bands/artists from around the world. Today on Radio WW, we’re going to play some of the many that we saw there over the years. And we talk a little about the club in between sets.

1. Gruesomes….What Wave….from Mr Garager’s Neighbourhood 1989 OG Records.
2. Spit Jr…..Emotional Suitcase….brand new single from Spit Jr. Spit played solo and with several bands, including Dashboard Rattle at the London Music Club (LMC).
3. Edgar Breau….from his recent Flag Of The World release and Edgar, along with Simply Saucer bassists Kevin Christoff put on an amazing set at LMC many years ago.
4. CJ Lee….Blaxland City Line….from his recent Hitchcock Sequel release and he’s an Australian living in the Exeter Ontario area now.  CJ’s live shows are rumoured to be fantastic!
5. Ginger St James…. Hair Of The Blackdog…from her 2016 One For The Money and we got to see Ginger for a memborable show at the LMC.
6. Chuckee Zehr….Shake Like Elvis…. From her recent Laugh Lines Crows Feet release and Chuckee played LMC many times over the years.
7. Wanda Jackson….Funnel Of Love…from the 2003 Heart Trouble release featuring Lux and Ivy of The Cramps. It was mind bogling to see Wanda in such an intimate performance with The Rizdales backing her up.
8. Tom Wilson….I’m In Love With The System….from his 2006 Dog Years release and it was a packed show when we saw Tom at the LMC.
9. Frank Ridsdale and Slugfest….The Water Road….from their 2006 release, The Port. Frank has played LMC countless times, even hosting Christmas and New Years parties there.
10. Dashboard Rattle….1979….from their self titled release and we’ve only seen Dashboard once, and it was at the LMC.
11. Bloodshot Bill….Love Me Twice….from his 2016 Guitar Boy on Norton Records. The first time we brought Bill into town, this is where we had the show. The Dropouts and Black Holes were also on the bill and the show rocked out and introduced a lot of people to Bill. Next time we brought Bill into town was at the Victoria Tavern, as part of our Rockabilly Massacre series of shows.
12. Black Holes….Miss Pearl….recorded live at the Brunswick.  Black Holes were from London and my fave local rockabilly band to go see.
13. Jason & The Nomads….Earthquake….from his 2006 Warpspeed Ahead release and from London. Jason performed at the LMC as part of the rockabilly shows that Shakin’ Kats (heard Wednesday evenings here on radiowestern) used to put on. They brought many fine bands to the LMC.
14. Paul James….Good Old Rock’n’Roll…from his 1984 Almost Crazy release. Only saw Paul at the LMC once, but man oh man that was one wild and crazy show!! One of my all time fave shows at the LMC!
15. Pink Cadillac Scat Cats…Halfway To Memphis….from their Rip It Up release and from London Ontario. Heard a rumour that they might be doing some new recording in the near future.
16. Royal Crowns…Greasy Corpse…from their 32 Miles From Memphis release and feature Teddy Fury on the tubs.  We’ve seen these guys live a few times, every show is nothing short of fantastic! So precise, so clean, so perfect!!
17. 24^th Street Wailers…. Spitfire….from their 2015 Where Evil Grows release. Another shitkicker of a show and we were hoping they would come back, but never happened.
18. Twin Fin…Let’s Get Drinkin’…from their 2015 Whiskey Wine & Venom Blood release and from London.
19. Andre Bisson….How Many Times….from his 2017 Break release. Took a chance on this show as we weren’t familiar with the band, but they had horns so we went. We were very pleasantly surprised as the horns sounded so clear and loud at the LMC.
20. Galea….Come On In My Kitchen….from her 2005 Diary Of A Bad Housewife release. Galea has played LMC many times, as part of her Galvanizers and in Slugfest.
21. Pack AD…. Snow….from their 2007 debut, Tintype. Pack AD played here a couple times until they had enough of a fanbase to pack Call The Office.
22. TVD…I’m Not In Love….from their recent Avec release and TVD played as part of a bash put on my Larry and Cathy to celebrate their anniversary a couple years ago. This was a really fun show as most everyone knew everyone else and I even got to DJ between sets.
23. Dropouts….Sucker Punch….from their 2005 After School Specials release and from London. They did their last London show here, prior to moving to Vancouver.
24. Evil Farm Children….Border Blaster….from their Evilling release from 2008 and they played LMC as part of Rena’s birthday bash a few years back.
25. The Speaking Tongues….Run To My Door….from their 2008 self titled debut and they played with Evil Farm Children at Rena’s LMC bash.

Radio What Wave Playlist June 28/2021.  Canada Day Special

All Canadian acts on this one, as Canada Day is just a couple days away. This is barely scratching the surface as there is so much great talent in Canada.

1. Nomeansno…..Oh Canaduh…..from a 1991 7” and a cover of a Subhumans song. 
2. Deja Voodoo…..Blast Off…from their 1986 Swamp Of Love release and from Montreal.  Tony and Gerard of Deja Voodoo were OG Records back then and they put out loads of cool releases,  many of which topped the college radio charts across Canada back in the mid to late 80’s. Check out any of their legendary It Came From Canada series for a look at great Canadian music in the 80’s.
3. K.V. Raucous & The Cavedwellers….  It Came from the Swamp….from his recent Beach Party At Drac’s and this is a one man band from Calgary.
4. UIC….Green Lady…from their Wiseman Sessions, recorded in the late 80’s and properly released in 2016 on Yeah Right Records. Personally I think if this was released when it was originally recorded, things would have gone much different for UIC and they would have been playing much larger gigs.
5. TVD…C’mon And Tell Me Off….from their recent Avec release and from right here in London Ontario. 3 vets of the late 70’s punk scene that have still got it and have a great time playing.
6. Enchanters….Torture Chamber….from their latest 7” and it’s on Transistor 66 Records out of Winnipeg. Enchanters home base is Toronto and have played London at least once.

10. Roger Zuraw….Fine Weather Blues….from his 2019 Remembering The Lakeshore release and from Etobicoke.
11. Stompin’ Tom Connors…..The Hockey Song….from the 1972 Hockey Song release and a timely song. You can’t get any more Canadian than The Stomper!
12. Bloodshot Bill…..High & Dry…..from a 7” on Norton Records from 2007. 
13. Dany Laj & The Looks….Till Jockey’s Lament….from their brand new 10 Easy Pieces release. Once things get back somewhat to normal, hopefully Dany Laj will come back to London to play again as it’s been way too long!!

27. Deverons….She’s Your Lover….from a compilation called Wyld Canada and is one of the bands that Nardwuar mentions, as is…..
28. The Quid….Crazy Things…..from a 1965 7”

Radio What Wave June 14^th 2021 Playlist

1. Gruesomes…..What Wave…..from Mr Garager’s Neighbourhood, OG Records 1989
2. Edgar Breau…Flag Of The World….from the brand new Shadows Of ecstasy release. Edgar was/is lead guitarist vocalist for Simply Saucer and this was the first project he did when SS ended originally. It’s taken almost 30 years, but this is finally out!
3. Luckies….Lover’s Curse….download from this Montreal rock’n’roll/rockabilly outfit. Had the pleasure of seeing them at The Wheel via the internet a couple weeks back and really enjoyed them!
4. Nathaniel Mayer….Village Of Love….1962 release on Fortune Records out of Detroit and a great mixture of doowop and soul.
5. Dany Laj and the Looks….You and Me….from their brand new Ten Easy Pieces release that just came out on vinyl and CD. Copies are going fast and really looking forward to Dany Laj coming back to London to play some of these songs.
6. Miesha & The Spanks….SOS…..from their recent Singles EP and from Calgary.
7. Tuns….Keeping Options Open….from the recent Duly Noted release. Features Mike O’Neil from the Inbreds, Chris Murphy from Sloan and Matt Murphy from Super Friends. Kind of a super power pop type combo!  Saw them a couple years ago at Call The Office and they sound as good live as on record.
8. Spy’s….Underground…..originally came out on a 1980 7” and the band has remastered this for the online market. Spy’s were from Windsor Ontario and used to play the Cedar Lounge here in London fairly often, before renaming themselves The Nelsons.
9. Satanic Togas….Strange Attraction….recent single on Goodbye Boozy Records and from Australia.
10. Space Slave….Yeah….from the Spacement Tapes and from London Ontario. One of the many Shawn MacDonald bands in this town and all are really good!
11. Ultra 5….Mystery Track….from their 1991 Reincarnation release and from NYC.  They played London once, back in late 1992 at the Electric Banana.
12. Bob Bryden & Long Day Journey….Happenin’ Street….from the brand new Love In The Atomic Age which is now hitting record stores thanks to Bob driving all over the place.
13. Mononegatives….Neighbots….from the brand new Apparatus Division release and from London Ontario. First press of the record sold out immediately and second pressing is in the works.  I’ve seen a couple of great reviews of this one and it certainly lives up to them.
14. Petroleum Byproduct….Mad About Plaid…from the 2009 Superficial Artificial release and from Vancouver.
15. JJ Burnel….Do The European….from his 1979 solo Euroman Cometh release. JJ is the longtime bass player for the Stranglers.
16. Kevin Dunn….Nadine….from the compilation Declaration Of Independents that came out in 1979. A totally different take on the Chuck Berry standard with the electronics in the forefront. Kevin was the guy who engineered the very first version of Rock Lobster, prior to the B52’s going big time.
17. Autogramm….Bad Day…from the recent No Rules release and from Vancouver.
18. The Perks….McPig….from their only 7” that came out in 1978 and from London Ontario. A bunch of highschool kids decide to make a record and this is what came out.                                           This is the beginning of a set that looked at Awes Recording Studio (and label) which was based in downtown London and was the first studio in this area to record punk/new wave.
19. Friendly Fire….Junior Senility….from their 1979 4 song EP that was on the Awes label. Looking for any kind of info on this band as no one I’ve talked to knows anything about this mystery band.

21. Demics….Factories….from the NYC CD on OPM Records.  Recorded in Feb 1978, 2 months after the band’s very first show and gives you an idea of how fast the Demics were evolving back then.
22. Demics….Talk’s Cheap….as above and this is a different version than what is on their Talk’s Cheap EP.
23. Boy From Nowhere….Sometimes Good Guys Don’t Wear White….recorded live at St Stephans Hall here in London 6/15/1985.  This is from our wedding bash as are the next 2 bands.

27. Amy Rigby….Dancing With Joey Ramone….from her 2005 Little Fugitive release and covered by many since as it’s such a great tune!

29. Gary US Bonds….I Wanta Holler….from the compilation  Songs We Taught The Detroit Cobras.
30. King Khan….King Of The Jungle…..from his 3 Hairs and You’re Mine release from 2001.  Right around the time of this release, King Khan and His Shrines played Call The Office here in London and there were as many people in the band as in the crowd! The band still put on a stellar show and have never come back since…
31. Cramps…. Get Off The Road….from the 12” of the same name and came out in 1986.
32. Cramps….Kizmiaz….from the 12” of the same name and came out in 1986
