I’m not sure which is worse, late January or late July. Temperatures so cold that you feel your nose hairs ice over on the way to the bus stop, or so hot you can fry eggs on the roof of your car. As strange as it may seem, I think I actually prefer the cold. The heat just has a way of escalating mankind’s sick, violent nature, fueling tempers, madness, and pain, while the cold always seems to keep everyone in check, at least for a little while. This episode of Savage Kick was recorded on one of the coldest nights of the fresh, young year. The beer was kept cold by simply sitting it on the basement floor. The Blues vs. Canucks game on the tube in the background. Spaceheater on full blast. Almost cold enough to see my breath…

This episode features selections from such bands as The Barracudas, The Mortals, The Mants, The Miracle Workers, The Burning Hatreds, The Gentleman Callers, The Missing Links, The Talismen, The Reigning Sound, and many more. Crank this one up and put some tiger milk in your tank.

What goes on in a large, sub-cellar room illuminated by flickering lanterns on a sultry summer night in St. Louie? Why, only the mad creation of a new episode of Savage Kick, of course, the hard and relentless fight of one man against the forces of evil (bland, uninspired mainstream corporate rock, natch). Tune in this time to hear sonic rumblings from artists like the Oblivians, Mark Sultan, Holly Golightly, The Third Bardo, The Greenhornes, The Rip Offs, The Count Five, The 5.6.7.8′s, The Red Crayola, The Woggles, The Electric Prunes, the Pagans, Dean Carter, The Hipshakes, The Dirtbombs and more.

The Humpers – Live in St. Louis (February 25, 1996)

Thanks to Jim Utz for this soundboard recording of The Humpers live at Cicero’s basement bar, Feb. 25, 1996… The band had just been to town about seven months earlier, but on their second trip through they packed a lot more punch, played a lot tighter, had a more energetic set, and the crowd definitely responded better, so all-in-all considered, I thought this was the better of the two sets, and is presented here as part of the Out of the Vaults series (the first new episode in over four months). Enjoy!

This ain’t Little Steven’s Underground Garage, no siree… I hit the mic after a long day of kickin’ it poolside and partaking of some fireworks wars on the 4th of July to present over an hour’s worth of firecracker-hot garage, punk, and primitive rock’n'roll. Dig the sounds of Screaming Lord Sutch, Andre Williams, The Countbackwurds, The Hentchmen, King Louie and The Loose Diamonds, Black Tie Revue, The Cynics, The Touch-Me-Nots, The Tranzmitors, Ape City R&B, Digital Leather, Lover! and two sets of girl garage favorites, old and new.
