Radio What Wave Playlist July 30/2015 Black Shire Pub Special Part 1
Long running club The Black Shire Pub closed down about a week ago. It started well over 10 years ago as The Last Drop prior to it taking the name Black Shire Pub. We put on many a show here, including the infamous Battle Of The 2 Piece Band series that lasted at least 5 battles. This, and the next edition of Radio WW, we are going to be playing only bands that we saw at the Black Shire Pub. And that's a heck of a lot as you'll be hearing.
1. Nasty Rashes....Hot Rod Hearse....from the CHRW EP recorded on Radio WW 5/1/2008. This was the first band we ever saw at the Black Shire, back in the days when it was a sit down at tables type of venue.
2. Legend Killers....Slow Death....from the We're Workin On It CD. The Legend Killers were the second band we saw at the Black Shire as Nasty Rashes opened for them.
3. Gorgon....Girl Gang...from the Presents Corpse Whale CD. From Winnipeg and they shared a member with Angry Dragons who were on the same bill at the Black Shire.
4. Angry Dragons...Love You Tonite...from their self titled CD. From Winnipeg and a killer 60's garage punk meets 60's girl group kinda outfit. Well suited for dancing and making a fool of yourself while having a really good time. One of my fave bands to play the Black Shire.
5. Standstills...Blues Radio...from a demo and one of the many 2 piece combos that played our infamous Battle Of The 2 Piece Bands shows! Now based in Oshawa, Standstills are presently on a cross Canada tour.
6. Speaking Tongues....Run To My Door...from their self titled debut CD. First time i saw this band, danced so hard i blew the bottom of my shoe!! Luckily the shoe repair shop could put my shoe back together! Another 2 piece combo as are the next bunch of bands.
7. Speaking Tongues...Graveyard Blues...as above.
