Captain Easychord went north to Portland and Geno's
nightclub. He caught Tiger Bomb in their own territory.
They mostly played songs from their albums Uproar
and Sugar Buzz.
The second group was Cynz from New York. They had just
played Square Root where the Captain saw them there
too.
Then it was the Mach Bell Experience. Point made: Mach
Bell is indestructible and indefatigable. Catch the full review and
photos by clicking the photo link above.
Three of the members of A Bunch of Jerks have formed
a new band called The Spackles. They've got a new singer
Caroline who used to be in the group Missionaries.
Mike Howlett says her voice fits the new material they've
been writing since the Jerks disbanded.
They're playing a short set at the Jay Allen Birthday Bash
this coming Saturday (April 1) as their debut. Then a week later they
play at the Square Root with Stop Calling Me
Frank. Mike says they'll play a full set with new songs that
will be filled out with a few old Jerk chestnuts.
Rum Bar Records start to do their thing by leaking
the first Spackles single "Happy To See You" next week, but
its official release will be later in May. Four songs are already in
the can and they are planning on recording again in a few weeks.
Congrats to Beebe Gallini for being included in Rodney
on the Rock! Volume 4 with “My Way of Thinking.”
We went bonkers for that when
it first came out in Feb 2021 .
This song is worth the new attention. Rodney has the good taste. Get
the vinyl here!!
Rich Mirsky has started a Kickstarter page to raise
funds for the album project he is involved with called Meat
the Psychopaths.
The artwork is being done by A.R.T. the guitarist of Sapling.
If you pledge @20.00 you get the CD and your name will be on the liner
notes. Pledge $100.00 and you get a house show too!! Read

Roger Miller posted his seasonal updates on
his blog He has two solo guitar shows in May in DC and Baltimore.
His Anvil Orchestra that does live soundtracks to silent movies has
shows in Illinois, Wisconsin and Nebraska with films like Dr. Caligari
and Metropolis. And his group Trinary System
is working on recording their third album now.
VIDEOS......
A lot of people have opinions of GG Allin. Here’s
over an hour of Merle Allin talking about his brother.
Merle and GG grew up in a three room log cabin in rural NH. They had
no running water. GG’s real name was Jesus Christ Allin because
his father was a religious fanatic.
Later Merle answered an ad in the Phoenix and joins Thrills
as a bassist as GG started The Jabbers. A
big turning point is 1985. That’s when GG first defecated on stage.
From there on, there was no turning back for GG.
Merle tells the whole GG story and pretty straight forward too. It’s
really fascinating to get the story from Merle’s perspective.
We’ve enjoyed the The Beatersband from Italy
and their take on classic rock tunes. Now they have a video for a long
time fave “When You Walk In the Room”.
Moving Targets have a video for “Ordinary Summer”
off the latest album In The Dust. This is a contemplative song
that hits its mark. It is especially melodic for Moving Targets in both
the vocals and guitar lines. This is a good chance to dip in and hear
the excellent current material.
Neighborhood Shit are a local hardcore band that have
slowly built up their reputation. They now have a video for their song
“Cockroach.” It has fast clips of the band playing and,
yes, some cockroaches.
RADIO......
After one live show Ron on Monday’s Late Risers Club
was back to remote broadcasting. He had a parcel of good punk
this week.
Class from Tucson had the song “Left in the
Sink.” It sounded like a 1977 punk nugget we might have picked
up at Bebop records.
Ron also played The Dahmers from Spain. “The
Ghost of Roy Orbison” is a poppy rocker, very irresistible we
thought. This is off their new album Ghosts in the Garage.
“Problematic” by Chicago’s Abi Oooze
was a punk/garage song. Getting leads on songs/groups like this is why
we love listening to Ron every week.
The local Downhauls’ “Hazy Shade of Winter”
cover sounded bright and sharp in the mix of the set.
The hear Ron’s whole show go to the WMBR
Archive page and hit the link on the Monday 10am show for Feb 20.
PODCASTS.........
WBUR had a podcast that focused on the live music scene and its situation
now. JJ Gonson was part of it.
Some parts were not encouraging. Gonson said that finding a new club
space has not been fruitful. It seems it just not economically feasible
because of rents. We didn’t like to hear that. The outside concerts
are difficult it seems and those aren’t sustainable economically
either. Damn, that’s more we didn’t want to hear!
And then there is the problem of artists being able to live in a city
like Boston. They question is now (not the future, even), if there is
are ways for younger musicians to live and thrive in the city.
They seemed to agree that large venues are full but there still is
some covid hesitancy in the small venues.
This is a very frank discussion.
Blowing Smoke with Twisted Rico has an interesting
guest this week, Tim Catz. Tim’s first band was
Seka/Strip Mind, then Roadsaw and
now White Dynomite. He’s also written a few books
.... and started the music scene at O’Brien’s in
Allston, for that alone we owe him!! Catz started just booking Thursday
night and eventually it grew to the club we know today.
With each of his groups Tim has a load of stories. He’s current
group is named Horseneck.
Al Quint started his Sonic Overload
podcast this week with songs criticizing Bush and the Iraq war he initiated.
That was a fruitful subject for hardcore bands at the time.
The last set had five songs from the Weirdos in remembrance
of guitarist Dix Denney. That was a great set.
Cold Expectations now has their first album, Static
Reactions, up on Bandcamp. They've been releasing a string of memorable
singles with videos for a while. They gave a good feeling for what the
band is doing. They have an indie sound and a very arty way to style
their material.
Five of the songs have been previously released; “Two Blueberries,”
“Hey Compromise,” “In The Padlocked Night,”
“Summer Dress” and “Coat of Snow.” Those are
the songs that have made us fans already. I mean we knew from the very
first song “Two Blueberries” that they had a good thing
going.
“Souvenir” has a dreamy, jazzy vibe. The jazzy chords separate
this song from the other songs on the album. You can feel the loss in
the lyrics about a relationship now ended.
“The Distance” continues that push into the poetic demi
monde. Much of the album exists in that mind created world. “In
the Padlocked Night,”“November Sun” and “Coat
of Snow” are part of that. That’s what Tom Verlaine
mined in the first Television album.
Cold Expectations has sustained that atmosphere for
the length of the album.
Then there's relief from that with the lighter touch of “Trench
Coat” (video
of that here) and the cover of “Take the Skinheads Bowling”.
It took a long time to get this album, and it is worth the wait. This
should be one of the year’s best when we look back!
Sapling now have a second song off their upcoming
album. The song “11:37” is a tribute to Taylor Hawkins the
drummer of the Foo Fighters.
This song has so many sound qualities that suck you in! The bass lines
are solid and give the song structure and drive. Periodically they pump
up the guitar in fuzz and drown all the instruments in echo. When they
stop abruptly at the end of the song it takes a few seconds before the
echo dies.
The tag line of a chorus “Make Your Idols Cry!” works big
time.
This is one of those catchy songs that you just want to hear every
time you tune into your fave radio show. We hope that happens.
Eddie Japan’s newly released song “Time
Machine” is from the forthcoming album Pop Fiction. Greg
Hawkes (from the Cars) adds some synth. It only takes a few
notes for Greg to initiate an avalanche of memories. He carries the
Cars sound with him.
It’s fortunate that Eddie Japan has the song writing and arrangement
chops to accommodate Greg because you can't help but compare ... whether
you want to or not. Eddie Japan has been working hard and this album
has the potential to give this 2013 Rumble winner another big boost
of attention.
Here’s a rerelease of note. Wimpy & the Medallions,
the Still Headed Nowhere EP. It is a vinyl
seven inch and it's a limited edition.
Playing on the record is Wimpy Rutherford the original
frontman of the cult pop-punk band The Queers. ex Queers/Nobodys
guitarist Geoff Palmer, Kurt Baker from The Leftovers
and members from The Connection.
"Still Headed Nowhere" was recorded and written in 48 hours
during Memorial Day weekend 2012.
Songs are: "Still Headed Nowhere," "36 Weeks,"
"Girls Gone Psycho" and "Draggin' The Line." You
can order here
