2. Johnny Terrien and the Bad Lieutenants....Back To The Beach...from a demo they sent us. JT played many shows at the Black Shire, including the above mentioned Teenage Rock'n'Roll Show as well as opening for Jeremy Gluck and the Barracudas, impressing one Jeremy Gluck!

10. Barreracudas....Diet Coke....from a live WFMU broadcast on Terre's Cherry Blossom Clinic radio show.

Nothing could prepare me for the devastation of their live show. The keyboard player had a small Farfisa on legs that got a little too close to the edge of the stage during the action. The keyboard went airborn over the edge and the keyboard player jumped over top of the keyboard, somehow landing on the floor with the keyboard on top of him and continued to play!! Real rock'n'roll!!

Lately ? The Rezillos , Girlschool , Dead Moon (Twice) , NoBunny , Cynics , Real Kids , Sonics , Barrence Whitfield and The Savages , Blue Coup (Dennis Dunaway from The Alice Cooper Group and The Brouchard Bros. from BOC.)....BUT THAT'S IN 6 OR 8 MONTHS TIME. PRETTY DEAD , NOW. 

I've been to quite a few since I last posted on here (Ringo, and Macca to name a few), but, the most recent ones that I have been to are: Noel Gallagher and the High Flying Birds, The Moody Blues, The Rolling Stones (w/ Gary Clark Jr), the Happy Together Tour (The Turtles, The Grass Roots, The Association, Mark Lindsay, The Cowsills and the Buckinghams), and Iron Butterfly. Pending concerts include: Stephen Stills, Paul Weller, and Blur. 

I'm looking for garage (or psychpop, retro-yé-yé etc) with female vocalists that sings in french. Preferably contemporary stuff. The Limiñanas is a good example of the kind of stuff that I'm looking for.

ANd I have an update for those who care... Killed By Porn is going to Youtube.  Simply search Killed By Porn there...

....what I meant was , the sound for the first gig left a lot to be desired , but , the second sounded great. It was a very busy weekend. I also saw Nobunny (Who's returned to Chicago , but , still planning his next move.), The Cynics (Who played to about 40 people , and KILLED it.) , and local faves , The Polkaholics and The Bama Lamas.

MOST OF YOU PROBABLY KNOW , BUT.....Fred made a full recovery and came to Chicago last weekend to play two shows. Unfortunately , after Fred spent a year getting well , Andrew Loomis , Dead Moon's Drummer , had to drop out the tour , because he's very ill. Fred and Toody discussed it with him ,and he maintained that they should not cancel the tour. Not surprisingly , Pierced Arrows' Drummer , Kelly Haliburton , was called in to fill the drum slot. So ,  in theory , it was Pierced Arrows doing a Dead Moon set , but , they were accepted with open arms by the fans , a majority of whom were too young to have seen them , the first time around . It's shameful how many old fucks like me did NOT show up. Despite sounding underrehearsed , this year's Dead Moon brought the rock. Their second , outdoor , show sounded particularly good.  Fred , ever the professional ,made sure the sound people had all their ducks in a row. But , it could have  been better , soundwise. Could have done without the moshpit , but , that's just me.

FRED LOOKS AND SOUNDS GREAT , AND WAS HIS  QUICK - WITTED SELF AT ALL TIMES.

Still making an ass of bands too young to remember Dead Moon in their heyday , much less even know "You Must Be a Witch".

Where is the attachment in this new layout?

Here's some awesome crazy Thai pop music from the 60's.  Three volumes are available.  I've been playing tunes from this on The Trip! 

Out since 31st May (the 30th anniversary of the original recording). This album captures The Vibes at their snottiest best, during their German tour of 1985.

Ltd Edition of 200 copies on Green Vinyl, 300 copies on Black vinyl.

Sleeve design by Chris'Sick'Moore (of Stay Sick, Brighton)

Sleeve notes by Charlie (Trasharama) Spliff & Johnny Beat (original Vibes drummer).
