Radio What Wave Playlist November 9/2020
- Gruesomes….What Wave….from Mr Garager’s Neighbourhood from 1989 on OG Records.
- Garry Jackson….The Orange….brand new single from this accomplished song writer who has been based out of Nashville in the past, travelled the world making music and now lives in smalltown Ontario.
- Chris Jacks…Train Of Thought…from his brand new Miles To Go release. Chris normally spews out wild psychedelia or fuzzed out 60’s garage punk with his Japan based combo The Routes. His latest is way different, acoustic and laid back, but there’s still something lurking there.
- Edgar Breau….New Sacred Cow Blues…from his recent Shadows Of Ecstasy Release. Edgar is the leader of the long running Simply Saucer based out of Hamilton.
- Creatures Of Condition…Stuck In Hell…from their recent EP and from Windsor Ontario. Former Lost Patrol guitarist Dave Whiteside is in this combo.
- Vicious Dreams….Matter Of Time….from an upcoming release and based in Florida.
- Andy Butler and the Isolators…Down In The Basement…Andy put out the word he was looking for others to record during the pandemic, and this is the result! Reminds me of Teenage Head and that ain’t a bad thing around these parts. Peter Hudson played and put this all together, and speaking of…
- The Dundrells…Nothing On TV….1986 7”, were based out of Toronto and Peter Hudson played guitar in this combo.
- Muck and the Mires….Don’t Start Running Away…from their brand new Greetings From Muckingham Palace and from Boston.
- Judys….Another Goddamn Man… from their brand new More release and based out of Vancouver. Former Londoner Pete Feend plays basin this and several other bands.
- Merinuks….King Merinuk…from their brand new release and from Hamilton Ontario. They are of course referring to Darren Merinuk, the Winnipeg based artist who has graced the covers of at least 4 issues of What Wave zine and done countless records, CD and cassette covers over the years.
- Angry Dragons….Girlfriend…from their 2009 EP and from Winnipeg, Darren did the cover art for this one.

- Warren Smith….Rock and Roll Ruby….from the Legendary Performer release and this song came from 1956 and recorded at Sun. This is the beginning of our tribute to Stan Kesler who passed away recently. Stan played steel guitar on this on and did a lot of behind the scenes work at Sun Studios.
- Charlie Feathers…I Forgot To Remember To Forget….from the Rockabilly’s Main Man release from 1979 and Stan co-wrote this one with Charlie. Elvis made a hit of this song.
- Sam the Sham and the Pharoahs….Mystery Train….from their 1966 Greatest Hits release which Stan produced and most likely it was his idea to take this rockabilly song and give it a Bo Diddly beat.
