Radio What Wave Playlist Mar 13/2014    Part 3  Psychos and Other Unusual Canadians.

Our third and final installment of this special. Hope you enjoyed listening to some of these bands that seldom get airplay, maybe brought back some memories or even introduced you to some obscure Canadian combo you didn't know existed. And thanx for all the phone-ins during these 3 parts, it's been overwhelming!!

1. Tommy Ambrose....End Of The World...late 50's rockabilly from a cassette that Dave Clarke made for us many years ago.

2. Ratwurst....Stupid People...from their self titled CD. This was 2 of the members of Drums Along The Gardiner (80's garage combo from Toronto) who got together for this strange little project in the mid 90's.

3. Jack Pedlar...Effigy Camp...from the DT Delinquent CD. 2003 CD from Hamilton's Jack Pedlar, probably best known as the drummer for Teenage Head. Regular listener Gary Pig Gold was involved in this project.

4.King Khan....I Wanna Be A Girl....from the Supreme Genius Of King Khan CD. Now based in Germany, this guy and band pack it in worldwide. When they played sleepy London Ontario several years back, the band onstage outnumbered the crowd. And they still put on a killer show!!

5. Flying Squad...Come And Play....mid 80's demo from this London Ontario combo. London's only biker rock combo and they boasted the vocal talents of Tim Murphy. One of the best vocalists to come out of London, as long as you didn't have to watch his facial antics! They were loved or hated, no inbetween with this combo.

6. Flying Squad...Health Food...from Mr Garager's Neighbourhood LP on OG Records. We've played this song many times on Radio WW and will continue to do so.

7. Flying Squad....Brian Mulroney....early 90's demo w/Kerry Piper now on vocals. This is a love song for a former Prime Minister of Canada.

8. Jim Ashby....Speed City....from a 7" on Speed City Records. Originally issued when Jim was a DJ on one of London's AM radio stations, during London's reign as speed capitol of Canada....now we're known as the serial killer capitol of the world!! What a fucked up city we live in!!! Getting back on topic, this is my favourite record to ever come out of sleepy London Ontario!!!

9. Chris Houston....Einstein's Brain's In Hamilton...2013 7" from this topical singer songwriter. Former member of Forgotten Rebels and writer of Surfin' On Heroin, this guy has one screwed up (but honest) take on this fucked up world we live in. And if true, this song explains why Hamilton is much cooler than sleepy London Ontario.

10.The Weirdies....Frankenstein's Daughter...from the In 3D CD. Toronto trio from a couple of years ago and their drummer, Stacey Case is now in The Noble Savages who you'll be hearing on next week's show.

11. The Government....It Must Be God....an excerpt from Electric Eye LP, from 1979. Toronto trio who should have gone on to big things, but are largely forgotten and were not even mentioned in Treat Me Like Dirt, the story of the Toronto punk scene. One of my fave Toronto combos from that era, they never did play London and i didn't get to see them until late 1981 and by that time, were a shadow of their former selves. This LP supposedly went along with a video....can anyone help me locate this??

12. The Government....Flat Tire....from a 7" EP from 1979. Bought this as soon as i heard it on the old 6X radio station...the first radio station to acknowledge punk rock here in sleepy London and bless them for introducing me to so many bands!

13. The Government...Hemingway Hated Disco Music....first 7" by this combo and took me several years to find.

14. The Leather Uppers....She Digs Death...from a 7" from 1992. Toronto duo, their first ever out of town show was right here in sleepy London Ontario. They were supposed to have a 2 night gig at the Brunswick, but were fired after the first night. They were way ahead of their time and sleepy London didn't get it! So what else is new?  I just happen to have been in attendance for part of the show and have a live audio tape to prove it.....someday i might play it on air.

15. Deja Voodoo...Pyramid....live on CBC radio and features the soothing voice of David Wisdom (Brave New Waves, Nightlines and other highly influential radio shows) introducing the band.

16.Deja Voodoo...Monsters In My Garage....from the OG LP, Live At The Backstage Pass...recorded live in Finland by this Montreal duo. Deja Voodoo were fairly popular on the Canadian college radio scene in the mid to late 80's. Their record label, OG Records had the best of the Canadian underground bands on it during this time period! Their It Came From Canada series of LP's are essential listening for fans of Canadian music from that era.And big thanx to Bloodshot Bill for playing this song at Call The Office the other night and dedicating it to me!!

17. Deja Voodoo....Call Link Wray...from their 1988 LP, Big Pile Of Mud. When all else fails, call Link Wray!!! There was some psycho that used to yell out Link Wray really loudly when bands were playing here in London! Think he hosts a radio show on CHRW now....

18. Deja Voodoo...Some Things Just Don't Wash Off....as above.

19.Dik Van Dykes....Green Slime....from the Nobody Likes....LP on OG Records. Hamilton combo who were highly entertaining live! And they summarize this show to a T!

20. Dik Van Dykes...Lost In Space....fromthe Waste Mor Vinyl LP on OG Records...they only released 2 LP's and a cassette, all worth searching for.

21. Dik Van Dykes...Obvious Filler...from the Nobody Likes LP....perfect title for this song.

22. The Evaporators....EvatonesSoundsheets....from the Gassy Jack and Other Tales LP. This is Narduar the Human Serviettes combo. He still has a radio show in Vancouver and still does lots and lots of hilarious, yet intelligent interviews with famous people. He's a Canadian Icon!!

Thanx for all the emails, phone calls, facebook messages and Heys!!! And thanx for tuning in to the madness each week!  Back again next week with lots of new music and who knows what else.

 Radio What Wave Playlist Mar 6/2014.  Psychos and Other Unusual Canadians   Part 2  

1. Bloodshot Bill....16 Chicks..recorded live on Just Another Punk Show on CHRW, 5/25/2007. Bloodshot Bill is a psycho in more ways than one and sorta summarizes the title of this show. And he's playing in London Tues Mar 11th at Call The Office along with Fireball Grant. And he's going to be interviewed by the yammer phone later on during this show!

2. Hank and Frank....Nancy Sinatra....from a late 80's demo that ended up on a What Wave cassette. The ultimate insane duo from London Ontario!

3. Tuerto Loco....Glaciers....recorded live on Radio WW 5/12/11. Features Hank the singing bookman on lead insanity and vocals. He might just have a buddy named Frank.

4. Shanker and Romps....Hole In My Sock...from the Pancakin' CD. Ottawa duo that appeal to the kid in us all! And they are a lot of fun live!

5. Shanker and Romps....Arboretum Arboretum...from the Sing For Your Summer CD....anyone that can sing a song about a tree museum is OK by me.

6. E. J. Brule...Tabarnak!Make My Day....from It Came From Canada Volume 4. A man who makes noises with his body....ya, really.

7. E.J. Brule...Killer Whale Attack....from It Came From Canada Volume 3. This one man musical/noise force came from Montreal and is still playing occasionally.

8. King Khan BBQ Show....Animal Party....from a 7" on Fat Possum Records from 2008.

9. Supreme Bagg Team...20th Century Dog Faced Boy...from their only LP on OG Records from 1989. Toronto combo featuring a singer who spent a lot of time either on the floor, or flying through the air. All in the name of fun.

10. Supreme Bagg Time....Crankin' With Elvis...from Mr Garager's Neighbourhood, an LP we put out with OG Records.

11. Battered Wives...Uganda Stomp...from a 1980 7". Toronto combo who were forced to change their name to The Wives due to protests...

12. The Curse....The Killer Bees....from a 1978 7" from Toronto. The first all female punk band from Toronto.

13. The Sinners....No Brains...from a 7" from this London combo. And the song title sums up this show.

Right around this time Bloodshot Bill phoned in to yammer about his big show on Tuesday at Call The Office, along with Fireball Grant. We yammered about touring, records and spaghetti flavoured lip balm. And yes, Bill is supposed to have some when he comes to London next week.

14. Bloodshot Bill....Martian Chicken...from the 10 " record on Squoodge Records.

15. Bloodshot Bill...Space Date....as above.

16. Bloodshot Bill...Rat Fink....from the Rockabilly Trash LP.

17. Bloodshot Bill...5 and 10....as above and usually a staple of Bill's live show.

18. Bloodshot Bill...Blue Days, Black Nights....from The Lonesome Road LP on Norton Records, Bill's latest.

19. UJ3RK5...Anglican....from their 1980 12" on Polygram. Out of Vancouver and had David Wisdom, host of CBC's Brave New Waves, a highly influential radio show from the 80's and 90's across Canada.

20. UJ3RK5...Locater....as above.

21. Robbie Rox....The World Is Mad....from Construction Site, his 1980 debut LP. Toronto singer who had a shaved head and looked like a wrestler, decades before it wa a cool look. Combine that with his falsetto, and you've got the perfect candidate for this radio show!

22. Robbie Rox...Raw....from the LP of the same name.

23. Robbie Rox....Reeming Me....from the Construction Site and had to cut this one short as we ran out of time, but not tunes.

Thanx for all the phone ins tonite, there were lots. Thanx for the emails, facebook messages and Heys!. And thanx for tuning in to part 2, next week we continue with part 3 of Psychos and Other Unusual Canadians.

'Little Sister" b/w "Marie's The Name (Of His Latest Flame)" , the perfect Rock'n'Roll record , did come out in 1961.   The Stones ARE THOUGHT OF AS HAVING FORMED in 1963 , though their original incarnation , as Little Boy Blue and The Blue Boys , with Dick Taylor of The Pretty Things on Bass , were together as early as 1962.  The Beatles , I think , formed as The Silver Beatles , with Stu Sutcliffe , in 1960 , but , I may be mistaken.

In The UK , Mods were making their presence known (It's believed Mod went back as far as The Late 50's.) , and Teds , no doubt alienated by The Rock'n'Roll of the day (As were Rockers) distanced themselves from current trends.

Elvis performed just two shows , in Memphis and Honolulu in 1961. THE ONE EXISTING RECORDING , THE LATTER GIG , PROVED AN ALL - AROUND TRIUMPH.HE WOULD'NT PERFORM A LIVE CONCERT (BARRING THE 68 COMEBACK TV SPECIAL) AGAIN , UNTIL 1969.

Hi.  I think the Beatles and the Stones were formed in 1961.  Elvis released "Little Sister".

Fellow Hideouters,
I need some tips on cultures/subcultures circa 1961. Music? Film? Scenes? Hidden gems of any kind? I greatly appreciate any input.
Thank ya much!

If you don't know Fred Cole , or don't want to know about him , please ignore this. As most  of you know , Fred is one of the five or six , if there's still even that many , true Founding Fathers and Elder Statesmen of Garage Punk , Garage Rock ,whatever the Hell you want to call it. He was through with it before we ALL knew what to DO with it. From Northwest Psych /Punk Legends , The Lollipop Shoppe (aka The Weeds.) , to lo- fi Hard Rockers , Kingbee and Zipper , to Punk /New Wave Rockers , The Rats , and then , of course , Dead Moon......a name still spoken of in almost gasping tones. Cole raised the bar , well into his Fifties , and carried on , doing the same , with Pierced Arrows , in his Sixties.

Fred will soon be undergoing open heart , bypass surgery , if it has'nt begun , already. He was diagnosed with 85 - 100 % blockage to his arteries.

It is estimated a six month recovery period will be required before he will be able to perform again. The reformed Dead Moon , Pierced Arrows , and Fred's acoustic project with his Wife of 45 years , Toody ( also of Dead Moon , Pierced Arrows and The Rats.), are being put on ice , though not indefinitely.

It's my belief Fred will be back , with a vengeance. PLEASE try to be of the same belief , and do whatever it is you choose to do , pray , think good thoughts , and direct your strength to someone who has plenty of his own , but  can always use your support.

Besides being the embodiment of the DIY spirit (How many unlistenable below - fi bands , that recorded on an answering machine in the bog , ever lived in The Yukon for five years ?) , Fred Cole is , above all , a good soul , a gentleman , dignified , though VERY funny , he loves his Wife , and his fans ,  dearly. We owe him one.

Have his back , in any way you see fit. Your care and concern does not go unappreciated.                       John Battles.

Back in the early 80s the Greek Titans of Mythology were furious with mankind over some long forgotten reason. Hyperion deemed that most of these fleeting occupiers of Earth were unworthy.

Hyperion, the Greek Titan of light and father of the sun, the moon and the dawn selected his chosen ones who were anointed with a lysergic substance, then given vintage 60s guitars, trippy compact organs, fuzz pedals, attitude and a mystical reverence in order to spread a garage beat and psychedelic disease to all the Continents of the planet.

This music plague became known as "Hyperion's Revenge"

"We're gonna do something really big , now , like THEE ALICE COOPER GROUP ! Alice  Cooper..."

Very anxious to see this....I like the idea of a documentary JUST about The Alice Cooper Group , but , I guess there's no separation of the two.....It seems like the surviving members of the band have a much  better relationship , today , and can tell the whole story in words....and music , too. Hope this plays  Chicago.    Some of these films don't.    John.

My friends at the Banger Films have just wrapped up this Alice Cooper documentary they've been working on. I've yet to see the final version, but saw a few unedited versions about 7 months ago. Looks pretty amazing.

Premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival this April.  

NEXT SHOW "VOIX DE GARAGE #18" = SPECIAL "WOMEN'S DAY" ON WEDNESDAY 12th MARCH!!!!!

Listening to Marty Thau Presents 2X5 today. Great comp, Fleshnotes, Bloodless Pharos, Student Teachers...etc. 

Does New Orleans still have the Rock Around? I want to take my wife who has never been to NOLA. Or Memphis. 

Jane Dearosaurus Rex said:
I would love to be able to find dirt cheap flights for Burgerama in March. And I did find dirt cheap flights to Orlando for Florida is Dying earlier in March but I would have to miss too much work during a new-hire probationary period.

I wish I could make it to this too. Good line up. 

Ha ha ha ha!
