Radio What Wave Playlist Aug 6/2015. Part 2 of Bands We Saw At The Black Shire Pub

1. 905s....Direction...from their latest CD, Shake Down. Andy Butler and the 905s played one of our Teenage Rock'n'Roll shows and impressed quite a few folks here in London.

2. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants....Back To The Beach...from a demo they sent us. JT played many shows at the Black Shire, including the above mentioned Teenage Rock'n'Roll Show as well as opening for Jeremy Gluck and the Barracudas, impressing one Jeremy Gluck!

3. Legendary Dirt Bikers.... First Dog In Space...from their only 7". Fried Dirtbiker's psych combo after the demise of the Chickens.

4. Oily Birds...Love Me Till The Sun Shines....recorded live on Radio WW 4/29/2010. Local combo who played at just about every venue in this town.

5. Oily Birds....Second Cousin.... as above.

6. Puff Forbes....John Oster Hairdryer...from a self titled CD. Stratford art rockers who dressed head to toe in white coveralls and had red wool hats covering their faces while playing.

7. Puff Forbes....Song 665... as above...had to play 2 tunes by these guys as they are so good!

8. Barracudas....I Wish It Could Be 1965 Again...1980 7". Jeremy Gluck and the Young Barracudas played one of 3 Canadian dates right here at the Black Shire! Jeremy lived up to expectations and played lots and lots of early Barracuda faves!

9. Barracudas....The Way We've Changed....1983 7".

10. Barreracudas....Diet Coke....from a live WFMU broadcast on Terre's Cherry Blossom Clinic radio show. Although they played on the same show as the Barracudas, they were in no way a tribute or homage to them....straight power pop from Atlanta and one of the best bands we ever saw at the Black Shire!

11. Bad Bad Bad....Fucked Up....live recording from the Black Shire 3/29/2012. 2 piece band from Halifax who tore up the house!

12. Eliza and The Strange...Baby Don't Be Nice....live recording from the Black Shire 3/29/2012. Eliza were from Halifax and morphed into Bloody Diamonds making several repeat visits here to London.

13. Baketones....I'm A Caveman...from their Unite CD. Amazing 60's style garagepunk from Halifax who came on air prior to their show at the Black Shire. Nothing could prepare me for the devastation of their live show. The keyboard player had a small Farfisa on legs that got a little too close to the edge of the stage during the action. The keyboard went airborn over the edge and the keyboard player jumped over top of the keyboard, somehow landing on the floor with the keyboard on top of him and continued to play!! Real rock'n'roll!!

14. Myles Deck and The Fuzz....El Mariachi...from the You Can't Heal A Sick Riff CD. Yet another garagerock combo from Halifax....must be something wrong with the water there. This band played only to me and the other band that was on the bill....sorry about the turnout but it was a week night. BTW, Myles Deck is getting married real soon and also has a really cool new combo called The Lord Almightys! See ya at the Barrence Whitfield and the Savages shows Myles!!

15. Giggleswitch....How Good You Look...from their VII CD. Another good local combo that played just about every venue in this town.

16. Wormwood Scrubs....Too Late To Go Home...from their self titled CD from 2010.

17. Duke Sedan and the Hi Tones....Real Cool Daddy...from their only CD. Local combo who played a Lux Interior tribute at the Black Shire and caused a bit of damage to the place. They were banned from the Black Shire for some time....the ghost of Lux was present at the tribute.

18. Apecassete....Ambiguous....from a self titled CD....Windsor Ontario combo.

19. Terror Lake....Shit Storm...from a demo CD. Toronto trio who played the Black Shire at least twice and both times blew me away. Artwrock infused psych meets surf from this low profile trio.

21.  Miesha and the Spanks....MMMMMade For Me....from the CD of the same name and come from Edmonton.

I'm looking for garage (or psychpop, retro-yé-yé etc) with female vocalists that sings in french. Preferably contemporary stuff. The Limiñanas is a good example of the kind of stuff that I'm looking for.

I've been to quite a few since I last posted on here (Ringo, and Macca to name a few), but, the most recent ones that I have been to are: Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds, The Moody Blues, The Rolling Stones (w/ Gary Clark Jr), the Happy Together Tour (The Turtles, The Grass Roots, The Association, Mark Lindsay, The Cowsills and the Buckinghams), and Iron Butterfly. Pending concerts include: Stephen Stills, Paul Weller, and Blur. 

ANd I have an update for those who care... Killed By Porn is going to Youtube.  Simply search Killed By Porn there...

....what I meant was , the sound for the first gig left a lot to be desired , but , the second sounded great. It was a very busy weekend. I also saw Nobunny (Who's returned to Chicago , but , still planning his next move.), The Cynics (Who played to about 40 people , and KILLED it.) , and local faves , The Polkaholics and The Bama Lamas.

MOST OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW , BUT.....Fred made a full recovery and came to Chicago last weekend to play two shows. Unfortunately , after Fred spent a year getting well , Andrew Loomis , Dead Moon's Drummer , had to drop out the tour , because he's very ill. Fred and Toody discussed it with him ,and he maintained that they should not cancel the tour. Not surprisingly , Pierced Arrows' Drummer , Kelly Haliburton , was called in to fill the drum slot. So ,  in theory , it was Pierced Arrows doing a Dead Moon set , but , they were accepted with open arms by the fans , a majority of whom were too young to have seen them , the first time around . It's shameful how many old fucks like me did NOT show up. Despite sounding underrehearsed , this year's Dead Moon brought the rock. Their second , outdoor , show sounded particularly good.  Fred , ever the professional ,made sure the sound people had all their ducks in a row. But , it could have  been better , soundwise. Could have done without the moshpit , but , that's just me.

FRED LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT , AND WAS HIS  QUICK - WITTED SELF AT ALL TIMES.

Still making an ass of bands too young to remember Dead Moon in their heyday , much less even know "You Must Be a Witch".
