Host: Alex Piandes
What do The Sonics, Tampoffs, Black Clouds, Time Beings, Drusalee & The Dead, and Bobby Day & The Satellites have in common? Absolutely nothing, except that they’re all featured in the 9th episode of The Desperate Hour. Alex throws together a motley mix of garage, punk, garage punk, R&B, novelty tunes, and cheesy pop from MP3s, compilations and crusty old 45s for your listening displeasure.

Hello,
I noticed The 9th episode of The Desperate Hour, with Alex Piandes featured “Drusalee and The Dead”. My father was the keyboardist in the band. Does anyone know where I can find a copy of their old 45’ “Lily”? If anyone has any information for me I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you
Lacey Piper

Actually, it wasn’t the “Morning Tymes” (On Top) It’s the “Mourning Tymes”. I’ll send you a scan of an original poster if you’d like. You got the label and the song right, just not the spelling.
