Radio What Wave Playlist September 8 2016
1. TVD...Smoke Weed....from their brand new CD, Salvation Through Distraction. Local combo of well rehearsed and seasoned veterans playing what they want.
2. Light Bulb Alley....Lost My Girlfriend....from their brand new Bright Side Of The Dumpster CD that came out last night at their CD release party in Montreal. We've had these guys as guests on Radio WW a few years back, and hope to get them back to London again for a show sometime soon. You'll be hearing lots more from this release!
3. The Hookup...Go And Hide....brand new recordings from Saskatoon's The Hook Up and slated for their next release Cruel Sounds. We had this combo on a live to air here at Radio WW several years back and that recording actually came out as a cassette not long after. Coincidentally, both The Hookup and Light Bulb Alley released their very first CD's on Ricochet Sound (Montreal, Gruesomes label) at the same time, and now both have brand new recordings simultaneously.
4. The Embrooks.... Helen....brand new 7" on Dirty Water Records out of the UK.
5. Muck and The Mires...I'm Your Man....from a brand new split 7" on Dirty Water Records with the Fadeaways from Japan. Muck is from the Boston area and have played this area at least once.
6. Charlie Harper....Freaked....7" on the Ramkup label from 1981. Charlie and his UK Subs are playing tonight at Call The Office here in London. First time here in a long time....
7. UK Subs...Organized Crime....from the Demonstration Tapes LP from the early 80's.
8. UK Subs....CID...from the Another Kind Of Blues LP from 1979 and believe this was their first LP. First caught the UK Subs at the Cedar Lounge here in London around 1982. Opening up was a band we weren't familiar with, but were told they came from the UK....Anti Nowhere League. These guys were fucking amazing, playing straight 77 punk at a time it was no longer considered cool! Hate filled testosterone fueled lyrics with buzzsaw guitars and dressed in the finest bondage and leather gear available! Fucking blew my socks off they were so much fun!!! Kinda took the edge off the UK Subs appearance later on in the show.
9. 905s...Running Full Speed....from a 2013 recording just for Radio WW. Around this time I yammered about how much I dig the 905s, so here's another ramble on....First heard Andy Butler (prior to naming the band 905s) back in the myspace days, doing this amazing powerpop ode to Teenage Head called Hamilton Head! Blew my mind at the time and couldn't get this one out of my noggin'. Got in touch w/Andy and we've been pals since. Invited the band to play what was billed as the Betty Page Birthday Bash almost 10 years ago and they wowed all in attendance! Guitar driven powerpop and rock'n'roll and actually coming out of Canada! Invited them back for another couple of key shows, that being A Nite Of Teenage Rock'n'Roll with Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants and again, they along with JT tore the house down! And when we were arranging Paul Collins Beat's firs appearance in London, who should get the nod as one of the opening bands but the 905s where they fit right in. Paul Collins raved about the band and coming from him, that means a lot!! So we've got The 905s returning to London this saturday night at Call The Office, opening up for Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants...not to be missed!!!
10. 905s....Weekend Comes...from the 2009 CD Break Out!
11. 905s...What Are We Receiving...from the 2015 CD Shake Down and their latest.
12. 905s...Hamilton Head....as above. This is a new recording of a song they originally did over 10 years ago.
13. 905s...Coney Island High...from the New Test Sounds Cd from 2007. This song is really cool mixture of the NYDolls meeting up with The Dictators and we come out the winners!
14. Castor Troys.... Broken Black Heart...from their recent Come Hell Or High Water CD and they will also be appearing saturday night with JT and the Bad Lieutenants and the 905s. In fact, guitarist Chris Ledroit was at one time in the 905s and he will be guesting with the band at the show, as well as playing in another band, The Unlabeled making a reunion appearance.
15. UIC....Anything At All....from the soon to be released Wiseman Sessions LP. It's going to be on the Yeah Right! record label, run by Tony Lima of CHRW's Solid Action radio show (on right before Radio WW). These are the 1989 recordings with Bobby Wiseman that were supposed to come out years ago....finally it's about to happen.
