I'm with you ,Andy. You should be just as able to tour with a competing version of The Devil Dogs , but you've made it clear you would'nt do that.  I met you several years ago when you were in Chicago with The Roller Kings. So......."Hey".

Dammitdave : I know what you mean about From The Jam , but , they are (Or were , when I saw them.) a three piece , Foxton , Buckler and a younger guy who had more than one person saying "Paul WHO?''. I WISH I COULD HAVE SEEN THE JAM , THEN , AND I ONLY MISSED THEM BY A COUPLE OF MONTHS , BEFORE THEY BROKE UP , IN THE MIDDLE OF A  U.S. AND CANADIAN TOUR.  BUT , WELLER , TODAY , I'VE GOT NO INTEREST IN HIM ......

  IT WAS A BIZARRE PREMISE , TO SAY THE LEAST , BUT , THEY WERE'NT PRETENDING TO BE THE JAM , AND THEY SOUNDED GREAT.    IT'D BE JUST AS WELL IF THEY CALLED IT "BRUCE FOXTON'S JAM" , ESPECIALLY NOW , AS HE'S THE ONLY REMAINING ORIGINAL MEMBER.

Reminds me of Wellerless Jam (From Wikipedia):

"In February 2007, Foxton and Buckler announced they would be touring again as From The Jam, with members of Buckler's Jam tribute band The Gift."

Official or not The Devil Dogs are one of my favorite bands of all time.

The Devil Dogs without Andy G? Nah. 

I suggest they change their name to The Devil Doggz. Make themselves rad for todays youth.

Will do! Thank you for allowing me on here. Loving the site!

The only time my band didn't offer the out-of-towners the last and prime slot will be when we have our record release party in a few weeks, but I think it's ok to be selfish when you're celebrating yourself. But then we won't take any money but pay the other bands.

Since no one of us is in it for the money, I guess it's fair that the band that spends the most money gets back the most money, and the band that has the most trouble arriving gets the most rewarding slot.

BTW, Ben, why are you asking?

Exactly! You're in it for the fun of it but when it costs you a small fortune and someone is making a lot of money if kinda takes the fun out of it!

I'm glad I'm not alone here! The last band I was in we would even give our cut of the door to the traveling band (which amounts to about a 1/2 tank of gas) but still,  knowing how expensive travel is and how much of a pain in the nutz it can be we felt it was the right thing to do. When you make $0-$80 a show you sure as hell aren't in it for the money anyway! :)

Yeah, I agree though we've seen it work both ways! We played one gig where the rule was that it went in order of who travelled furthest which was good for us since we'd come about 500 miles! :)

That makes sense. Either the out-of-town band gets the middle slot or the last slot, depending on the band's pull (and who else is on the bill). If most of the people coming are there to see one of the local support bands, then that band should play last, otherwise you'll have a mass exodus right before the out-of-town band goes on stage. So the theory is you let the out-of-town band play right before the local with the most pull, thereby ensuring that you have a big audience for them.

I thought the rule was that the out of town band gets a decent spot in the lineup. For example if there's 3 bands that night, shouldn't the out of town band get the middle spot? Maybe I'm expecting too much but I thought this was just common curtsey among bands. Thoughts?

I'm Ben, also a newbie here. I've liked Garage Rock for a while now, I just didn't know it! I got introduced to a bunch of great old school Garage bands via the Nuggets box sets from Rhino and my favorite has to be The Sonics. Also, every since I was a little kid (I'm 34 now) I've been obsessed with The Ramones. For the fist time ever I've started my own band (I was always in someone else's) called Toy Cannons, our style is all over the place but there is definitely a garage and pop-punk influence there.

I'm Frank, 23, I'm from Brooklyn, NY. New Yorker born and raised, I first got into garage rock when I was 15. Me and my buddy would go to this place Wows!ville on St. Mark's after school and just listen to some records and smoke cigarettes (real cool, I know.) Anyway, it all started there. The owner of the shop got us into some DotDash shows so we were able to experience the likes of The Spits, Lost Sounds, Black Lips, Shopfronts, DC Snipers, Reatards, Little Killers, King Khan & BBQ, among many others. I mean, fuck, we were children! It was amazing. Such debauchery. That's also when I bought my first Back From the Grave comp. Needless to say, it changed me. 

Aside from that, my older brother is in a surf/metal band called The Giraffes, also from Brooklyn. He exposed me to the heavier side of things; doom metal, thrash, death metal, etc. My first few mix tapes were from him. He also showed me how garage rock and funk, and rock n roll in general is international. He provided me with a couple Sublime Frequencies records. Also, the golden age of riffs, the early 70s.

I'm a graphic designer, and I play guitar. No bands, but plenty of people that I jam with. Anyways, thanks for having me!

always thought Blood Circus was really good.

Hello everybody!

This is Stig Stench from Austin Texas. StenchRadio.com is a nightly Internet streaming radio broadcast featuring punk music. It stands out from the majority of Internet punk radio stations by having a live Net-J (Internet DJ), with no set playlist and a high degree of audience participation. (Come join the fun in our chat room!) StenchRadio.com was started by lead Net-J Stig Stench in April 2010. Within months the show had built up a regular listening audience and an impressive list of guest interviews. Show guests have included Greg Ginn of Black Flag, Don Bolles of the Germs, Jack Grisham of TSOL, Eerie von of SamHain, Milo of the Descendents and other true legends of punk rock, some of whom only rarely grant interviews these days. This is truly a unique station.

This week was Artist Spotlight week at WHFR radio - so the Wrekking Hours is doing a tribute to USA's premiere gothabilly band, Cult of the Psychic Fetus...

Hailing from Ohio, and after 3 successful full length releases, the Psychic Fetus has proven original in every idea with a very unique Cramps-like, Deadbolt thriving sound all their own.

Tune in today 4-6pm on the Wrekking Hours for Two solid hours of Cult of the Psychic Fetus for our 12th annual Artist Spotlight.
