Yeah, no shit. Were you at the Mississippi Nights show? If I remember correctly, they were with the Oblivians, or at least I remember seeing Eric O backstage with them. I think I had a backstage pass or something and got to meet them. It's been so freakin' long ago I can't remember! Argh.

Good to hear, I wonder if they will cut into Memphis at some point and mess stuff up with the Oblivians.

Wanted to be sure to give my folks on the Hideout a heads up since they are playing small places and dont get over here all that much.  You know where my heart is.  :)  have a great weekend

Dude, agreed.  However, when I noticed that they suddenly added Detroit today on top of 3 others..well, it's a tour as you go kind of thing probably or however that works these days!~   My gut tells me more will be added as time goes as they talk to clubowners and bookers, etc......  IMHO of course

Harumph. Playing a few dates is hardly a "tour." Just my humble opinion, mind you.

Yes, it's true..Guitar Wolf is on tour, limited dates right now. Chicago and Detroit, couple of others ...check ticketmaster, fiends.  Cant wait.

They don't float my boat. Too indie rock for my blood, I guess. Sound like T.Rex meets Hunx & His Punx.

I wanted to punch that Smith Westerns kid in his stupid pretentious face. The song sounded like a T. Rex tune, though. Are they worth listening to, 'cause I'm kind of turned off to them now.

Yep, I'm afraid you must be right...

Still, this corporated thing trying to sneak in Rock'n'Roll makes me uneasy...and bored !

Besides, I may ask too much, but I always expect to be bouncing off the walls !!! Each and every instant of my stupid nonsense life !!!

I don't find it strange at all. It's Scion's thing, obviously, so I don't think it's strange at all that they invited members of their own sponsored bands. It's not like this is the SXSW music conference, it's a Scion conference. Those guys would obviously have an expert opinion on the subject since they're being marketed/promoted in this way, and this gives them the opportunity to discuss it. It makes more sense than inviting someone from some other band, I think.

Also, whether or not you found it interesting or not, it does directly answer some of the questions raised in this very thread on the subject. I don't think anyone expected to be bouncing off the walls after watching it.

(Am I mistaking or Sean Spits seemed to be as bored being there as I was, trying to keep my eyes open watching this ???)

Besides, I find it kinda "strange" that the only bands appearing in this pseudo-conference organized by Scion are bands "sponsored" by Scion. Talking about Integrity and Selling Out ? Really ???

Check this out... Integrity and Selling Out in 2010 from the Scion Music(less) Music Conference.

I really enjoy The Shadows and think their version of Apache is terrific but I wonder who started putting that sort of sound effect (pick scratch with delay) in there that wasn't on The Shadows single, the Ventures?  I love that bit!

Yup, we already scheduled cassette and CD release here, but wanted to have european CD or 7inch release too : )

Probably, we will try to send some of it to distros outside the border. Yesterday i wrote tonns of letters, but still nothing :)

Most labels only work with bands they know, or are familiar with, have seen live and can work with easily. I wouldn't hold your breath on some obscure American or European label coming forward to release your stuff. Not that's it not good enough, mind you, but because there are a ton of bands out there already, and these labels are operating on shoestring budgets as it is. You'd probably be better off finding a local label or just releasing it yourself and finding a distributor or mailorder outfit that will take it.

damned damned damned !! how could i forget?!  although i think machine gun ettiquette is a better album, it was this one that started the journey... and the "New Wave" compilation that vertigo put out - that was my first real taste of punk and living in a country town it was like setting a fire! deadboys, hell, new york dolls...

Nick X said:

The Clash's first two albums were both great.
X - Los Angeles
Richard Hell and the Voidoids - Blank Generation
Teenage Head - Teenage Head
The Damned - Damned Damned Damned
Dead Boys - Young, Loud and Snotty
The Saints - (I'm) Stranded
X-Ray Spex - Germfree Adolescence
Buzzcocks - Singles goin Steady
The Jam - In the City

I want to include the Zero Boys but they were second wave.

Ha ha, What a hoser I've become.  Really though I can't think of a whole lot more note worthy things... And I'm thinking Daniel Fred & Julie might have been oh nine.  

Do say "hey" for me. They stayed at my place and were too polite to say my dog was being a jerk.

Post Script Hoser itself is worth some Cancon cred, am I right ?

yeah! & here's our pedalboard setup:

I am not a believer in distortion pedals - too friggin' metal and rawk. Overdrive your amp - that's the only distortion you need. Or loosen a tube like Link Wray. Slash your speaker cone with a razor blade (that's how Dave Davies did it and I swear by it but I have several amps) and it's not that expensive to put in a new cone.  Get an amp with tremolo or, most importantly, REVERB! DON'T GET A REVERB PEDAL!! Nothing sounds worse... A tremolo unit is ok if you can't get an amp with both but reverb pedals are the seed of Stan's nutsack. Nobody in the 50s or 60s were using pedals and you don't need 'em. Get a fuzz for solos or single note riffs but distortion pedals - bleh. People rely WAY too much in pedals these days (that and fucking modeling amps - LOSER) and they don't sound organic - they sound fake and sterile and shitty (and not in the way you want it to sound shitty). Cheap guitars aren't really necessary but they will work well. My main guitar these days is a Kent Americana.

Listen to records you like and learn the songs and then STEAL THEM! You'll learn everything you need to know. Lessons, books, etc are overrated and a waste of money.
