BTW, that movie never showed up at the Oaks.

I had to go to a cinema located in a mall that's pretty out of the way for me, and I went during its opening weekend because I was afraid it wouldn't be playing there the following weekend. Now that I did that, it will probably show up at the Oaks Theatre, which is really close to where I live.

John Battles said:

Seems like it already came and went , here. We have ONE second - run theatre that I know of . Maybe they'll show it.

I'm usually not a big hard rock fan, but I like the lo-fi sound, punk energy and b-movie image of Satan's Satyrs.

It's not a household name to me , but , then , I live alone. Sure gives me faith in my own guitar skills. I like parts of it.

These guys are probably household names wi you guys over the pond, but a friend just ailed me these guys new album. Never heard of them before. Lovely

Hey! I really like how they sounds!!! Thanx Andy! 
(reminds me of White Zombies or slow-moving Ministry)

Debut album out next month. stunning live set. Enjoy!!!

...which could be pretty convenient on hard times! :)

Chris Henniker said:

Just got hold of a copy, which really is brilliant. I love every song on it. You don't need to drop acid for this one, as it is acid. ACcccccciiiiiiiid!

Tersicore said:

AAAAAaacccccciiiiiiiiiiiiiddddddddddd!

How about some curried Goat, laced with Acid naturally? I heard them in Rough Trade while getting Mum & Dad's Christmas presents.

...and , I think it's "Kill a Mod". But , can a song be considered a Hate Crime ? At worst , I think a song that's actually about Hate Crimes could be interpreted , obviously , as Hate Crime propaganda , BUT , YOU  WOULD HAVE TO BE A NO - LIFE HAVING , WORTHLESS SACK OF SHIT TO BEGIN WITH , TO ATTACK SOMEBODY FOR NOT DRESSING LIKE YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS , IF YOU EVEN HAVE ANY , THEN HIDE BEHIND A SONG , SHOULD YOU GET CAUGHT....

you might have something , there.

Chris Henniker said:

I even wonder whether The Exploited would ever be prosecuted under the new proposals to treat assaults on subcultures as hate crimes for songs like "Kill A Mod". That would be ironic, as the Sophie Lancaster campaign was aimed at raising awareness of "alternative" cultures and calling for recognition of attacks on punks, goths, hippies , etch, as a hate crime.

....Oh , yeah, I love it. "They could nae(not)start a pissup in a brewery"!!!! THAT's funny.

By the time that stuff made it over here , people were taking themselves WAY too seriously* , regardless of their politics. I met a guy whose parents MIGHT have been at the hand - holding stage (Or even aware the other existed), in the very late 70's - early 80's when the Punk thing , as I put it , sort of tapered off. He said "WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!!! THIS IS A WAY OF LIFE!!!!!". Geez , lighten up , Francis.   Most of us got into it because it was fun.  King Kurt ! HA HA, a friend of mine from London went to see King Kurt , and a huge food and shite fight erupted . He said his clothes were saturated in wet flour , which basically turns to glue , and he had to sneak back into the house , because he was still living with his parents.

*  What drives the whole point home is , in the Chicago Punkumentary "You Were'nt There", Mike O'Connell (Rights of The Accused ,Beer Nuts.) , who OWNS that movie , talks about how , when he was 15 , John , from the precious Effigies (They're all right , just WAY too serious.) was telling him "You've got to take this seriously , or , you'll end up a Lawyer !!".Then , Mike says , "Point is , I am who I am , I'm a Bartender , now , and John IS a Lawyer !!".    I saw The Effigies , once (Twice , actually.) . This woman was asking me why I was'nt dancing , and BTW , where WAS I , "Back in the day"? I said , I was in Dallas (Where nearly everything BUT humor was verboten.) , tho' I was familiar with Chicago bands like Naked Raygun , Effigies , and Bohemia in the 80's. The band closed with "Body Bag" , their big "Hit". She said "How can you not dance to this ?! This is an anthem!!!". Mind you , they sounded fine , but , I did'nt hear a single anthem in their set. Then , they finished , the DJ played "Two Tub Man" by The Dictators. I told her , "THIS is an anthem".

One of the Exploited's offshoots 'Blood Uncles' were fantastic. recorded and live. 'Goodbye Mr McKenzie' were fantastic as well. The Exploited like King Kurt would move from town to town in Britain spreading mayhem and carnage wherever they went. Hilarious. These 2nd wave bands are funny tho. A direct outcry against a post Labour, new Thatcherite regime. It was pure comedy tho. The hair got bigger the clothes got holier and the members got drunker and drunker and they took themselves so seriously. All the talk of police state and anarchy. They couldnae organise a piss up in a brewery and it all fell apart very quickly. They either turned into Neo Nazi Oi type bands or became chartered accountants. Our new wave of punk bands tho are beginning to get a feel for it again. all the media that's available now really can give them a DIY attitude an I Fuckin loves it.

OK , so , no one replied to this. I'm not trying to stir up any shit , here. I just never got it with The Exploited , GBH , and much of the 2ND WAVE UK Punk bands , just like I don't understand the appeal of the majority of U.S. HARDCORE BANDS AT THAT TIME. That's just my take on it. I'm outnumbered. A friend told me , in D.C. , among Punks and Skins , it did'nt matter if you were Black or White , but , it was All For AMERICA. The Exploited once took the stage with "Fuck The USA", AND GOT THE SHIT BEAT OUT OF THEM BY MEMBERS OF THE AUDIENCE.....

HEY , WHAT AMERICAN BAND WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK THEY COULD GO TO ENGLAND , SCOTLAND ,  OR ANY COUNTRY IN WESTERN EUROPE , AND SING 'FUCK "Your Country Here"'and not expect to get pummelled by people who are'nt even loyalists? , to say nothing about kissing your fee goodbye ?

PERSONALLY , I LIKE THE PEOPLE , AND MUCH OF THE MUSIC , MOVIES , TELLY , COMICS , ETC. , OF THE UK.
  THE EXPLOITED ARE'NT MY FAVORITE IMPORT , BUT , A LOT OF PEOPLE , HERE , STILL LIKE THEM. THEY HAVE AN AUDIENCE.

Here y'are. Scotland's finest giving ya 3 for 1 in the incorrect stakes, haha. hats off to Watty and co. Bless! Y'gotta love'em!

OK , 5 tries , and I got it to play. Was'nt expecting a verbatim reading , in costume. I guess I expected to hear " Beethoven can't meet our standards  , because he's not yet been born !".      Kidding.  It's the deadpan nature of their delivery that makes this funny.

I've seen the Grundy disection. It IS pretty funny. The Amish Sex Pistols thing registered as one second long. I'll try it again , later. OR.....could it be , since they were living as if it were 400 years ago , this could not exist? Sorry , that was lame. Kaiser George was in a band called The Scottish Sex Pistols ! I asked him if they performed "God Save The Queen" as "SCOTLAND THE BRAVE !! THEY MADE US ALL SLAVES!!". He said , "NO! But I wish we HAD !"

BRMC caught at totally the wrong time. This guy was passing them and thought he would get a real scoop. Brilliant. Either pissed or stoned...or both.

Yep,
Tuscany is one of the most beautiful Region to have a holiday! So much to visit!
and around there, are beautiful beaches too. Maybe you could come next year!?!
Would be fun!! :) 

melissa scott said:

Damn -- garage/surf in Italy in the summer? How much fun is THAT? *pout* No can go! *double pout*

Yippee!!
Flights are booked, can´t wait to see all this cool bands and be back in Tuscany!
My paypal-account got finally unlocked and was able to donate something as well.
What a pity, so few supporter... and only one day left!!
Please, help if you can! <3  

Tersicore said:

Well, this year i won´t miss the Surfer Joe Summer Festival in Italy! 

Can´t wait to see The Apeman!! but the other bands too! :)

  

That´s so cool! The three days for Free! I guess i´m gonna donate something!
hope to meet some of you there!

Concept albums are seen by most to be the property of the 60's / 70's rock bands and supergroups. I suppose a lot of the classical composers that Steve Jones famously said 'But they're dead' of, can also be seen as conceptual artists. Does anyone in here know any punk albums or groups that could be seen as a dreaded 'concept'? I've thrown one in to get started.

can't wait to hear. love these guys. I got Guitar Wolf tattoo.

Wow looking forward to hearing this! The cover looks great too.

Can't wait to hear it! Wolf Rock will always be my fave, but all of his songs are too hip!

Too bad about Bass Wolf...

Time to teach a new generation about the greatness of the Land of the Rising Sun!

Radar Love - Golden Earring.

The SECOND LINE , i'M CONVICED , STILL , GOES "WE DON'T NEED TO FUCK AT ALL!"

('We Don't Need a Phone at All").

"Radio playin' some forgotten song , BRENDA LEE'S COMING ON STRONG"

FOR YEARS , I THOUGHT THAT WAS "BRAND NEW LEADS COMING ON STRONG" , WHICH WORKS !

And in the Golden Age of Streaking - " I'm spinnin' into a NUDE sunrise!" (Substitute "New".)

THE MOB WAS MAKING MONEY , HAND OVER FIST , IN THE 60'S , ON TEEN CLUBS AND EVEN SHAKING DOWN TEENAGE BANDS. I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THE SITUATION DIFFERS , TODAY , AS TEEN OR ALL - AGES CLUBS , THE FEW THAT EXIST , ARE NOT THE CASH COWS THEY ONCE WERE .....

THERE WILL ALWAYS BE FUCKING PIMPS EXPLOITING THE YOUTH ON SOME LEVEL. THEY MAY BE ONLY IN THE PLANNING STAGES OF SIPHONING ALL THE MONEY THERE IS TO TAKE FROM BANDS , CLUBS , AND EVEN PROMOTORS , WHO MAY BE AIMED AT A YOUNGER AUDIENCE.YOU CAN BE GUARANTEED THEY'LL NEVER SEE THE INSIDE OF A JAIL CELL.

But ,things are'nt always what they seem. There ARE people who just love the music , and want to give young Artists a break .

The horrific chain of events in Boston only further drives the point home , there
are far worse things than Rock'n'Roll (Just turn on your radio.).

Yeah, maybe Boston cops have found out that there're more important things to work on, haha! I was reading a book by a Welshman who's visiting the States, and he talks to a Bartender who tells him, "This is a fairly conservative town, esp. as far as nightlife goes."

I guess this proves it!

Geez, as if Boston wasn't criminal enough to keep hem busy, ha! Seems like they got the idea that the mob has seized Hipster shows for their new big cash in thing, after asbestos removal - and someone has to investigate, hehe.
