One-Man Band Special

A recent topic on one-man bands on the Shakin’ Street forum sparked the desire to feature a special podcast showcasing some of the best, trashiest one-man bands around, and there seems to be more of ‘em around now than there ever have been. Like ‘em or not, these guys are the epitome of demented, primitive rock’n'roll, so we hope you sickos enjoy this. A follow-up episode will be coming after the release of a couple of one-man band comps later this year (one on Squoodge Records from Austria and the other on Rock’n'Roll Purgatory from San Antonio, TX). OMB fans should also be aware of the “One Man Band Off” that’ll be happening as part of the Rurnt Fest in Jackson, Mississippi in early November. And if anyone knows of any one-woman bands, by all means, get in touch!

So what is Mercy if not a summer breeze, a graceful respite from the dog days of summer, strumming lazy melodies on sitars and guitars? Among the wafting tendrils of steamy psych, infectious pop, and the odd rocker or three, listen up for another rare Atlanta garage monster, yet another posthumous rhapsody, and several more melancholy garage pop gems from this decade as well as from ones lost in the mists of forty years past…

Orlando Rocks Again!

Host: MalThursday

Host Mal Thursday takes you on a trip back in time to Orlando in the ’60s and early ’70s, before the Mouse came to town, when top teen combos kicked out the jams at the youth centers and armories of Central Florida. Featuring exclusive interviews with Wayne Proctor of We The People and members of Tin House, whose bands are topping the bill at the Orlando Reunion Concert on September 16th, 2006. For more information on this once-in-a-lifetime event, go to aliveandrockin.com. To get We The People’s genius 2-disc anthology Mirror of Our Minds, go to sundazed.com. To get Tin House’s 1971 Rick Derringer-produced LP on Epic, be prepared to spend big bucks on eBay, or you’ll get outbid by Malaysian record collectors. Produced by MalThursday and Jeff Lemlich in living monophonic sound.

It’s a celebration! One year ago a little podcast show was born. It was just long enough to squeeze in a cup of coffee and a cigarette (hence the name). Since then, the podcast has snowballed into something out of control and enjoyed worldwide. Dig in!

The Mummies – Live at Maxwell’s in Hoboken, NJ (12/31/91) and The Chameleon in SF, CA (9/5/91)

Yeah, yeah, yeah… Nothing really rare here. You Mummies fanatics no doubt have both albums that this shit was released on (the “Fuck the Mummies” a.k.a. “Mermis” boot and “Runnin’ on Empty Vol. 1″ on Estrus), but we thought it’d make for a good podcast. I mean, why the hell not? It’s THE MUMMIES, fer cryin’ out loud. Maybe we can dig up some more rare live Mummies crud for a future episode (if you’ve got something, by all means get in touch!), but, for now, this will have to do. The Mummies are always a great band to listen to in order to help ya get loosened up for the weekend, so crank it. It’s Friday!

Episode 14 of Savage Kick is heavy on the vinyl platters as Kopper dug through the dumpster to find some real rock’n'roll trash in order to provide this primitive sampling of budget rock vs. dancing junk, seasoned with just the right sprinkling of noise. See if you can keep from wigglin’ while this one’s playing… Let’s do the fink!

A new coat of filth for your iPod. Don’t let it slip out of your hand; lay it down softly, turn it on and push its buttons like only you know how. Get to Rocking and Rolling for about 60 sweaty minutes. When it’s over light a smoke, roll your iPod over and go to sleep. Then, of course, get tested: you don’t know where that iPod has been, or what it got from this wanton podcast.

DaWillys – Live at McGovern’s in NYC – June 18, 1990

DaWillys were one of the coolest bands on the NY scene in the late ’80s and early ’90s. They weren’t garage; they weren’t punk, at least not in the traditional sense. Some lumped them in with the nascent “Scum Rock” scene, but to this day, I’m not sure that’s accurate.

The “Philippe Marcade” they bring up to play harmonica on “Kitchen Action” is the singer of The Senders.

The intro was done by the band’s manager, Chet.

Lynne Von Schlicting – vocals
Leon Ross – guitar
Peter Landau – drums

As to bass… I can’t remember if Willy was still there or if he’d handed the tennis ball – yes, really – to Jenna McGrath.

Leon died in the early ’90s. Willy moved to Pennsylvania. Pete Landau now lives in California. Jenna’s been in Texas, NY, and – from what I hear – is now somewhere out west. Lynne kept going, first w/the Trick Babys and then The Carvels. These days she has a band called The Vondells.

Hang on tight! Episode four slaps down a devilish feast of a buncha distinctly un-PC Southern sides, the least of which is one from none other than the son of quite possibly the most famous governor of that great state of Alabama! Also serving up an unreleased rocker by Weyman Parham and a smattering of new goodies from both sides of the Mason-Dixon line. Yup, this one’ll slap ya so silly you’ll be crawling on yer hands and knees, begging fo’ mo’! Help me, sistah, please! God bless and good rockin’!

By the time he gets back you’ll be ready for #14.
