Radio What Wave Playlist October 20/2017   Jane Zellot Colligan as guest

 

1. Tuerto Loco….Nancy Sinatra….recorded live on Radio WW 5/12/2011 as a live to air. Nancy Sinatra was originally done by Hank’n’Frank and released on a cassette called Garunge that came with WW zine #14 December 1987. One of my all time fave tunes to come out of London Ontario and Tuerto Loco just happens to be playing at the St Regis on Saturday October 21^st.  They may even play this song if you ask nice.
2. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings….Something’s On My Mind…..from the 2007 Let’s Frolic CD. This song was originally done by Teenage Head, and coincidentally, this week is the anniversary of Frankie Venom’s passing. Frankie, was the original singer for Teenage Head.  And Blackie and The Rodeo Kings are doing a double show on Thursday night at the Aeolian Hall here in London.
3. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings….Stoned….from the BARK CD from 2003 and sung by Tom Wilson.
4. Mountain Of Wolves….Poison….from the brand new LP of the same name. Released on the brand new record label Forest City Records and obviously from London Ontario. They’ve got a live to air scheduled for Saturday April 28^th here on CHRW to start our annual fund raising event.
5. Tragically Hip….Suzy Q…recorded live at Call The Office 3/3/1988 as they played that venue many times. Goes out to their singer Gord who passed away this week.
6. Mean Motor Scooter….Intro and Wave Spotting….from their brand new release on Dirty Water Records called Hindu Flying Machine and they are from Austin Texas.
7. Expanda Fuzz…..Last Of The Who Heads….from the Last Of The Who Heads release that just came out. From Ottawa Ontario.
8. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants….The Grey and The Black….from their brand new Half Wits Lp on Speed City Records.
9. UIC….Leave Me Alone….from the recent Wiseman Sessions LP on Yeah Right! Records. Recorded in 1989 and finally sees the light of day.
10. Coaching For Sara…..Tonight’s The Night….from their remastered CD and they are playing tonight at the 765 Old East and will be doing a live to air on Radio WW on Nov 10^th.
11. The Dahlmanns….Connie Converse….from their brand new split 7” on Beluga Records out of Sweden and the are from Norway. Reputable sources call this the best powerpop combo on the planet!
12. Escobar….Terrible Man….from their brand new The Biggest Sound release on Dirty Water Records USA and they are from France. They will be on tour with The Darts on their US tour for the next month or so.
13. Stunning….Party Like a Rock Star….from their Punk Rock Soldier release and are playing at the Eastside tonight.
14. The Saints….Follow The Leader….from the Casablanca LP from 1982 and goes out to drummer Iain Sheddon who passed away earlier this week. Iain picked up the sticks for The Saints when they moved to the UK and appeared on several albums. He was also a well respected music writer in Australia and had authored several books. He was not in The Saints when they played here in London a dozen or so years ago.
15. Randall and the Rivieras….Drinkin’ From The Well….from their recent self titled CD and composed of long time vets of the London scene….2 of them were in The Verge, one is in 63 Monroe and one was in The Hippies and Boy From Nowhere….all respected bands in London’s musical history. Check WW zine 24 for more details, available at Brown and Dickson on Richmond St.
16. Dirty Fences….One More Step….from their soon to be released Goodbye Love LP and this particular track features Tina Halladay of Sheer Mag. Dirty Fences are a NYC combo who started as more of a punk rock type thing, switching gears into one of my fave genres, powerpop. This whole new album comes highly recommended!!
17. NYDolls….Don’t Mess With Cupid…from the Rock’n’Roll CD on Polygram from 1994. Thought you’d heard it all by The NYDolls and here’s this little blistering number to make your ears smile….couple of other unreleased tunes on this one as well, all from 1974.
18. Empty Hours….Frankie and Delilah….from the It’s About Time LP and these guys are from Brantford Ontario. They were around 30 years ago, had a coupla tunes released on WW tapes and resurfaced a few years back. Gotta get these guys to come to London Ontario real soon.
19. Heather Haley…..3 Blocks West Of Wonderland….from a few years back and Heather was the original singer for The Zellots, when they started in Vancouver back in about 1978.
20. The Zellots…..On The Dole….from the brand new 7” of unreleased demos of The Zellots in their Vancouver days with Heather on vocals. You can pick this record up at Speed City Record here in town or at the London Record Show on the 29^th from me.
21. The Zellots….Vampyre Love…as above. These demos came from a cassette tape that someone found as the original reel tapes are long gone.
22. The Zellots….Let’s Play House….as above….and coincidentally Jane Colligan, who played bass on these tracks and was the only bass player for The Zellots, came into the studio to talk Zellots. Originally Chrissy DeVeber and Jane were scheduled to come in, but Chrissy couldn’t make it and we were going  to re-schedule…..live radio, so you go with whatever happens!!
23. The Zellots….1 Way Street….1980 recording done by Peter Moore from the Kent Hotel in the Kitchener area. This and the next 2 songs were broadcast on CHRW by Peter Moore (ya, the guy that won a Grammy last year and went under the alias Simon Less back in those days) and I taped them on my trusty cassette player.
24. The Zellots….Fire In Cairo… as above. Jane talked about the Kent, as it was a strip bar in the daytime and then band in the evening. The Zellots were on stage getting ready and were hassled a fair bit by the patrons as the 3 front members are all female.
25. The Zellots…I Love My Dog….as above and described as a fuck song by Jane as it was just something they made up…
26. The Zellots….One Or The Other….recorded live at The York Hotel (no known as Call The Office) probably by Mike Niederman on his little trusty cassette deck. Probably from 1980 or there abouts.
27. The Zellots…Blades….from a 1981 demo recorded at EMAC Studios in London. Coincidentally, this song was played the previous night on a TV show called Supernatural on the Space Channel. It was used in the background when a tattoo artist was at work! The things you learn on the fly from your guests!!!
28. The Zellots….Social Elite….from the above demo and a request by Jane. These demos have been released by the band in small quantities and were sold at the Graphic Underground show back in 2012, the last time the band played.
29. The Zellots….Let’s Play House….from August 1981 at the Cedar Lounge, and this was Doug and Rose’s wedding bash show…..also appearing that night were Certain General from NYC (with Marcy Saddy on the kit), Sheep Look Up (or were they Radio 4 that night) and the debut of Spiral Scratch. This was recorded by Dead Rabbit Kerry Piper on his trusty cassette deck and Doug is one of our regular listeners here on Radio WW as we played a couple of his requests a few weeks back.

 

Huge Thanx to Jane Colligan for showing up to talk about the brand new record and all things Zellots. You can pick the record up locally at Speed City Records, or at the London Record Show on Sunday October 29^th, Centennial Hall.

And speaking of the London Record Show, Mike Todd will be talking next week about it on this show!

Big Thanx for all the phone calls, emails and FB messages, you can catch the archived show here:

Radio What Wave Playlist Sept 22/2017 The Hypnotics Live To Air

 

Some shows I feel like a duck on the water….all looks calm on the surface, but below, the feet are going insane! But it’s all for fun and we even had rock’n’roll royalty in the onair booth as a young student dropped by, and asked if she could watch the band play! Turns out the young student, Sam, is the cousin of King Khan!!! Told her about the time King Khan played Call The Office to all of about 12 people and still put on an absolute Stunner of a show! Shoulda taken pics at that show.

 

And we had Windsor’s The Hypnotics doing a live to air during the show…had a few tech issues, but Adam and our Excellent sound crew here at CHRW were able to iron everything out and the boys blasted out the rock’n’roll for all you crazy listeners!!   And they sounded great later in the eve at the Richmond, playing with Running From Daylight (finally got to see these guys and they didn’t disappoint!!) and Space Slave played as well but had to leave.

 

1. Oh! Gunquit……Fireballs….from their about to be released LP, Lightning Likes Me, on the Dirty Water Records label outta the UK.

6. Underground Divas…..Devil With A Matchstick….demo from this Montreal combo. They record and we play on the air….
7. Hurricane and Able….Suddenly….from a demo, couple years back and features Shawn MacDonald who is in Space Slave. Was trying to play some Space Slave to hype the show that night and oddly, it wouldn’t play.
8. The Fine Print….Tonight….from their self titled CD from about 5 years ago and also features Shawn MacDonald.
9. Running From Daylight….Coffin For 2….from their debut download and they were the opening band that night at the Richmond. They are well worth checking out if you dig thick, fast rockabilly sounds.

19. Shaun Cassidy and Utopia….So Said About Us….from the above compilation and the first time we’ve ever played former teen heart throb Shaun Cassidy on this show! Expect the unexpected!
20. The Hypnotics…..New Wave Monday….live to air, the first 30s or so of this one didn’t go over the airwaves as you gotta press that red button too!! If there wasn’t a screw up of some sort, it wouldn’t be a Radio What Wave!!

29. Pop Rivets……Fun In The UK….from their Fun In the UK LP from 1985, originally recorded back in about 1979. This is a Childish band, prior to The Milkshakes and all the following bands.

31. Pop Rivets…..Beatle Boots…as above.

Radio What Wave Playlist September 15/2017   w/Mark Kearney As Special Guest

 

Mark Kearney, co-author of the book As The Years Go By was our special guest for the first half or so of the show. Mark talked about most of the bands from London that are in his (and partner Randy Ray’s) latest book. The book is just over 400 pages of info and stories on many of Canada’s forgotten bands/artists from over the last 60 years or so. It’s a great read for the throne room, as each listing only last a couple of pages. And available locally at Brown & Dickson or the University Book Store.

And near the end of the show, Dany Laj called in as Dany Laj and The Looks are in town tonight at Call The Office for a show.

 

1. Uranus….Shake Some Action….from a live 1980 recording in Toronto. And we started the show by talking about Uranus, their hit and the fact the band made little money despite a hit in Canada.
2. Uranus….You’re So Square…..from the 1980 7” and this one made #3 on the CKSL charts in May of 1980.

6. Thundermug….Africa….their top 10 single on AM radio back in 1973.  And right about here we talked about how Thundermug was the loudest band in London (and their rehearsal space) in Toronto.  One listener called in with a Thundermug request I didn’t have and said he saw the band about 40 times!
7. Thundermug…..Duckworth Stomp….from the Ta-Daa LP from about 1975.
8. Grant Smith…..Keep On Runnin’…..from a 7” record and around here we talked about Grant Smith and The Power who had this top selling record. One story that came out, was that when Grant was playing Las Vegas, he told Tom Jones (yep, that Welsh guy) to Fuck Off in front of a packed crowd! And right after this we talked about Truck, Gary and Dave and Priscilla Wright, all Londoners who have done, or are still doing wonderful musical things!!
9. Grant Smith….Her Own Life….the flip side of the above single. It was a blast having Mark Kearney on the radio to talk about these London bands from the past. The reaction to the show was quite amazing, so we may bring Mark back at some future date to talk further about the history of Canadian music.
10. The Hypnotics…..Radio City….from the Static Fuzz Radio LP from 2011. The Hypnotics are from Windsor Ontario, and they will be doing a live to air on next week’s show. And then later that eve, they play a show at the Richmond with Space Slave and Running From Daylight.
11. The Hypnotics…..Can’t Stand It Anymore….from the Modern Art Entertainment CD from 2015.
12. The Hypnotics….Our Generation….from the Static Fuzz Radio Lp.
13. Hiroshima Hearts….Fool Me Twice…from the Bones EP and HH have their record release party at Aeolian Hall on Saturday night.
14. Pacanomad…..Raspberry Jam….from their recent Take It Slow CD and they will be opening up for Hiroshima Hearts on Saturday.
15. Dany Laj and the Looks…..Mr Screaming Attitude….from their recent Alive’n’Kicking CD and right about this time, Dany phoned in to talk about the show about to happen that night and what’s been going on in Dany Laj and the Looks world….ie opening for The Fleshtones, Teenage Head’s 40^th Bash, Rubinoo’s and playing/recording with some of the kids of Cheap Trick members for starts!!
16. Dany Laj and the Looks….Sweet Pretender….from the Alive’n’Kicking CD.
17. Dany Laj and the Looks…..Small Town Kid….from the Word On The Street LP from a year or so ago.
18. Steel River….Dream Is Country….from their 1970 LP, Weighin’ Heavy and we had to fade this one out due to time constraints.

 

Big Thanx to Mark Kearney for taking the time to drop by the studio and talk about his book. It’s a great read for all that are interested in the history of Canadian music. And a big Thanx to Dany Laj for taking the time to talk to us about the show happening tonight at Call The Office!

And Thanx for all the phone calls!!  There was a lot of interest in what we were talking about during this show judging by the number of calls that came in! And Thanx for all the emails, messages and Heys!!!

Radio What Wave Playlist August 25/2017. Live to Air with Mack MacKenzie

 

1. Flying Squad….Fie On You….from Four Whom The Bell Tolls, the 7” EP that came with What Wave zine #16 ,  came out fall 1988. This was our first record and we learned a lot from the experience. This whole set goes out to Kerry Piper, drummer for Flying Squad, who is at home on the highway to recovery!!

2. Flying Squad….Ronnies Raygun/Question Of Temperature….late 80’s demos and Ronnie’s Raygun appeared on the cassette Wave From The Grave #2 that came with What Wave zine #12 back in the spring of 1987.

5. Sonny Burgess….Red Headed Woman….from the Legendary Sun Sessions LP and Sonny’s best known song. Sonny passed away last weekend, one of the last of the original Sun Session crazies! Sonny and Conway Twitty came up to Canada on the advice of Rockin’ Ronnie Hawkins, Sonny stayed for part of a year before heading back to Memphis. Haven’t been able to find proof, but there’s a really good chance he played here in London back in 1960….Conway definitely did shows here in London, but he stayed in Canada much longer than Sonny.

6. Pat Todd and the Rank Outsiders….Known To Stumble, Known To Fall….from a recent single on Beluga Records out of Sweden. Pat was in The Lazy Cowgirls for many years and remember going down to Call The Office to catch them, and they were stuck at the border trying to enter Canada. They never did make the show….not the first or last time for this kind of thing to happen, as London is often the first stop for US touring bands.
