    •  I would'nt take it that far. My friends , Randy and Donna Reeves (Of The Uncalled 4 ) were together since the 1970's , and would still be together , now , had it not been for Donna's untimely demise. Lux and Ivy were together some 35 years . They would have lived to be 100 together , if that was whatever power decreed.....I can only imagine being as big a band as they were , and wanting to live a normal life with a child , brings with it greater pressures and difficulties than "Normal " people go through.  But , no , for many of us , true love does not exist. For others , I'd say it does. For whatever reason.

      It's too bad , though. I met Kim in '86 . She was very cool , but , I would'nt have even taken them for a couple the two times I saw them in the '80's.

    • ...or getting parked. The reason being? I just don't have the free time to do a weekly show right now. Between family, work, responsibilities, "networking" (I guess) combined in with compiling music (downloading, researching, making a playlist, etc.), plus having to schedule everything around when I record, it had just become too much on my plate. Not to mention all the uploading, posting, contacting who I played, etc. It was also making it hard for me to concentrate on "40 Oz. Nonsense" by interfering with the time needed to devote to it. But, who knows? Maybe somewhere down the line when things are less hectic, I will be able to start recording more, but as of right now, that seems rather unlikely. I know there were a few members here on the Hideout that gave it a listen (and actually did like it), and I've had tremendous support and backing from people "in the scene". So to all of you that listened/subscribed/promoted this show, thank you, and maybe the "Hayride To Hell" will return sometime in the future!

    • I once saw it on Channel 4 and Did you see the reading of the Poem, Banana Bread? I love the punchline:

       

      "When the bread rises, leave town."

    • Delving into early hardcore maybe

      The Fix from Michigan

       

      for some piss n blood delivery, maybe the Fuck Ups from San francisco

      The Mad from NYC. Of course "I Hate Music" is their most known song.

      And as cartoonish as they were, and as bad as they got, Wendy O had a pretty raunchy voice. Though they always called themselves Heavy Metal or New Wave, not punk. (Sorry for the cheesy video game thing, it's the only vid I found for this song on Youtube)

    • The Saints recorded a lot earlier too

    • EATER is great teenage snot. Recording before the Sex Pistols and years younger than them too, if you're looking for early stuff.

    • There's two bands which immediately spring to mind for me. Poison Idea and The Candy Snatchers. I'm a technicological retard so look 'em up yourselves. Both had guitarists who died, one because he was the size of a house and another because of self induced chemical inbalances. Punk as fuck or what!

    • Early Bad Brains instantly comes to mind if you're not already into them. They were totally uncompromising and HR was a brilliant frontman

      A latter day one that comes to mind would have to be AMEN, again, Casey Chaos is a nuts front man with plenty of Iggyisms

      Lately i just can't seem to get enough DOA...saw singer Joe Shithead do an instore last week and bought the DOA book (Talk- Action=0 by Joe). They might fit what you're looking for...Vancouver punk from 1978 that is still around to this day.

    • Well, I guess I'll have to check them out now. Just out of the blue, my parents knew Bobby Soxx from the Stick Men with Ray Guns growing up and they said he was about as crazy as you can imagine.

      Ha, well, the small rock 'n' roll world we live in...G.G. was best friends with Jeff, matter of fact they recorded together as the Murder Junkies way back in the day. There is an album out of their collaborations, and they did a lot of shows together.

    • That was pretty great. So Rock Hudson was into the Groovies? And did I read that right, The Hexxers played Las Vegas Shakedown? I never knew they were still around, I really liked those guys.

    • I totally agree with you.. haha I always spell rock n roll wrong.. 

      Ok my band was playing at international festival in my town and by older rewiews and describes (including from ourselves) we're described as a 60's revival psychedelic rock. (ofcourse we have influence from bunce of other genres as well) But that description really tracked us down. One journalist was not happy with us.(fuck journalists by the way) I can respect his opinions and all that crap but he killed his credbillity by saying that The Piper at the gates of dawn with Pink Floyd is what psychedelic is supposed to sound and our music were just chaosistic. (has he fucking listened to 13th Floor Elevators? That's what psychedelic is supposed to sound for me thou) The chaosistic is the psychedelic.. Different opinions.

       

       But really my point is descripion can be dangerous.. at least when we're are talking about ignorant journalists..

      that usually doesn't cut it with potentially interested listeners not familiar with your music. sifting through the gazillion choices requires some specific glittering shiny object word or phrase. sad and as unhappy as it may  be the term rock n roll is meaningless.( FUCK!! NOBODY CAN EVEN AGREE ON HOW TO SPELL IT!!!!!) to one person it means you may be death metal or to another you could be jimmy buffet or you could be a 1953 rhythm and blues offshoot. it would take longer to describe what you mean by rock and roll than to describe yourself. clubs, bookers, websites, bloggers and online mags or whatever will not even bother to listen to an unknown quantity without a stinkin' category marker. we really and truly do not know what category we are supposed to be stuck in. and its a sure bet that like yourself many other bands do not now what they are until someone else tells them..

      I was onetime obsessed with analyzing my music, talked endless about it. I'm still obsessed with it but I keep it to myself because I think it's dull to describe my art to another person. Recently I just tell people that i play Rock 'n Roll.

    • Hey Chris,

        Cool that you bumped this old post.  As for an update, I've been demoing songs for the rest of my band on garageband, but still outsource our actually recording.

         I find I can get a decent guitar tone but like you, I am never satisfied with the vocal track...  and like you I think it might just be my voice !
