1. Calrizians....Wasabi Blast....from a demo they sent us recently. The Calrizians will be playing at The Dawghouse on Saturday April 23rd as part of the surf fest happening. And next week, we'll have some of the members of local surf combo The Thing From Outer Space as guests as we do an all surf show!
2. Coaching For Sara....Look Around...from their about to be released CD. CFS are playing this wednesday at Fitzrays as part of their indy showcase.
3. The Gizmos....21st Century Gizmo Fans...from their just released EP, the first new recordings in decades! The Gizmos pre-date the punk rock movement and released records back in the mid 70's.
4. 63 Monroe...Weekend Punx....from the Hijack Victim LP on Rave Up Records, which is some of their 80's recordings....local combo who play Call The Office on Saturday night.
5. The Britemores....Words In The Air....from their recent self titled CD. Detroit vets in a relatively new combo.
6. Daddy Long Legs.... Candy Sue...from the Evil Eye On You LP from 2012 on Norton Records. They come to town next friday, April 22nd at Call The Office, hope to see lots of you out at this show!
7. Daddy Long Legs...30 Days...as above.
8. catl....Save Myself....from their This Shakin' House LP. They will be playing with Daddy Long Legs on April 22nd!
9. Hiroshima Hearts...Ache..from their recent self titled debut CD. Local combo you've heard countless times here on Radio WW and now you gotta go see them open for catl and Daddy Long Legs on friday April 22nd at Call The Office!!
10. Sheep Look Up....Rapture...from their 1985 debut 12" EP. Sheep Look Up are a local band set to re-form for sunday's Jack Richardson Music Awards show here in London Ontario. They are being inducted into the London Music Hall Of Fame and deservedly so. They started as the Raw Dogs, then to Radio 4 and finally Sheep Look Up and evolved into an original powerhouse of a band that shoulda broken out big time. Rumour has it, they wil be doing 6 songs on sunday, so this is your chance.
11. Spiral Scratch...No Familiar Faces...from their 1983 Zulu Syndrome LP and again from London Ontario. Singer/guitarist Paul Wooten is organizing a walk of downtown London in which he will point out some of our old hangouts (or at least where they were), details on facebook.
12. Hot House....Burn It Down....from the 1978 Lp of the same name and another local combo. Hot House and the above 2 bands all played at my fave watering hole, The Cedar Lounge, many years ago.
13. The Zorgs...Black Molasses....from their recent Chew On It CD on Transistor 66 Records and out of Winnipeg.
14. Dynamite Pussy Club...Midnight Hour...from their about to be released Shakedown LP/cassette and from Bath UK.
15. Light Bulb Alley...Mary....brand new demo from this Montreal combo who have release one CD on Ricochet Sound.
16. Hip Bone Slim and The KneeTremblers....Hieroglyphic....from their brand new Ugly Mobile CD on Dirty Water Records out of the UK. Features veteran stick handler Bruce Brand of The Milkshakes infamy!
17. 3 O'Clock Train.... Train Of Dreams....from the Wig Wam Beach Ep from about 1985. 3OT has gotten back together and re-recorded this song along with others and just released them. Watch out for a cross Canada tour sometime in the not too distant.... They are from Montreal and played London a couple of times back in the mid 80's. The first time we saw them, they were double booked with Blood On The Saddle at Key West, and after a long discussion, they decided amongst themselves who would headline for the dozen or so people there.
18. Mars Bonfire....Born To Be Wild...from his self titled LP from 1968. Mars wrote this tune that became a HUGE hit for Steppenwolf. This is not the original version, Steppenwolf's is, this is a later recording by Mars and band and gives the song a southern swampy soul feel it.
19. Small Faces....Talk To You...from an Immediate Records Greatest Hits and from 1967. I'm really getting off on Small Faces lately and you'll probably be hearing lots more from them in future Radio WW's.
20. The Insomniacs...Today's The Way...from a recent single on Hidden Volume Records, Baltimore's coolest record label as so many great records have come out of this label recently.
21. Steve Miller Band....Living In The USA...from the Anthology LP and from 1968. After Steve's amazing post show interview at his induction into the Rock Hall Of Fame, we shoulda done an entire show on his early career! Finally someone with the gonads to tell it like it is! And can you imagine how much Steve Miller Band product has been sold in the last few days!! The man's a fucking genius!!
22. The Improbables.... Gotta Calm Down...recent single on Hidden Volume Records.
23. The Who....Out In The Steet...from the My Generation Lp from 1965.
24. Tom Jones...Evil....from a 7" on Third Man Records. This goes out to Tom's wife who passed away earlier this week.
Huge Thanx for all the phone calls this week! Lots and lots of encouraging words from all you crazies that listen each and every week!! And thanx for all the emails, facebook messages and Heys!! You might see Rena and I at the Jacks on sunday as we've been nominated for an award in the Scenebuilding category, no idea how the winner is chosen, but hopefully the late John Bellone wins the award.
Next week, it's an all surf special as we bring in some of the members of The Thing From Outer Space into the studio to yammer and do who knows what! It's all in preparation for the big surf show happening saturday April 23rd at The Dawghouse here in London. Also on the bill are Toronto surf vets The Calrizians (they played here once before several years back) and the all female surf combo, The Surfrajettes! It's a free show, so come on out and have some fun!
