"When I say I'm in love, you best believe I'm in love, L-U-V." The New York Dolls are unrivaled glam-punk darlings, and we walk down memory lane to talk about their influences, their TikTok connection, David Johansen's mighty morphing, our fandom, and what it was like seeing them play in concert after they said they would never reunite.

NFT bundles of rare concert tickets from four (4) nights at Chicago Stadium in 1980 of Led Zeppelin shows that never happened because drummer John Bonham passed away weeks prior to the scheduled dates. "NFT bundles" contain a physical item plus a one-of-a-kind digital token (NFT) that confers ownership. Listen to the owner of Rock-Expo.com, Michael Dehn, describe the fascinating story behind the tickets and exactly how these will be sold to interested music collectors,

This week we return to the classroom as they go On Assignment for the 1979 self-titled release by New England. This time our teacher is Dennis Talbott from the Ages of Rock podcast. If you don't know, Ages of Rock is a fantastic music discussion show that you should check out. Dennis has plenty of reasons why he assigned us this record. He bought it as a new release and has since purchased over 20 copies! Say what?! Would we feel the same enthusiasm for this album as Dennis? You'll have to listen and find out! We give each song an A-F grade as well.

New England featured band leader guitarist/vocalist John Fannon, drummer Hirsh Gardner, bassist Gary Shea and keyboardist Jimmy Waldo. The group was best known for the song "Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya", which received heavy radio exposure on Album-oriented rock (AOR) stations and reached the US Top 40 in 1979. "Hello, Hello, Hello" also received some airplay.

The quartet formed in the Boston area and was discovered by manager Bill Aucoin, who also managed Kiss. Paul Stanley helped produce the debut album along with producer Mike "Clay" Stone, best known for his work with Queen and Asia. Guitarist and vocalist John Fannon was the leader of the band.

The group had a live stint supporting Kiss, but New England slid between the cracks of other Aucoin projects. The group's success stalled when their label Infinity Records was absorbed by its parent company, MCA Records.

Gardner, Waldo, and Shea would go on to work with a then-unknown Vincent Cusano on a project dubbed Warrior before disbanding due to Cusano being brought into the KISS fold to replace guitarist Ace Frehley. Waldo and Shea would then go on to help form Alcatrazz.

We hope you enjoy our On Assignment episode discussing New England and SHARE with a friend!

It's nearly impossible to pick the "best" Beatles song, but by nearly every measurement-- sales, chart success, cultural impact-- it's hard to beat "Hey Jude". Author James Campion's new book, Take A Sad Song, is an in-depth look at the history and legacy of "Hey Jude". He joins us on this episode for a deep dive into this legendary, iconic song. A true classic.

Liz Lamere’s path to her debut album was not a direct one. She was actually a high powered Wall Street lawyer. But she wasn’t your typical high powered Wall Street lawyer. She was the only one with purple hair and a spike in her nose who played drums in a punk band. But she met Alan Vega and everything changed. The couple began working on Alan’s music together, raised a family, and toured the world. Liz talks about all of that; how Henry Rollins & Jared Artaud of The Vacant Lots had life changing impacts on her and Alan; the Vega Vault; and how she finally made the debut album like Alan always wanted. And did you know that she also managed professional boxers? She almost became one, herself. And she shares how boxing continues to have an effect on her music. Pick up Liz’s debut, Keep It Alive, on In The Red Records, give her a follow @lamereliz on Instagram and @liz_lamere on Twitter. If you’re not already, follow us @PerformanceAnx on both. Please consider supporting the show with a review wherever you listen of financially through ko-fi.com/performanceanxiety or performanceanx.threadless.com. So let’s get ready to…wait I can’t say that. I’ll get sued. Enjoy Round One of Liz Lamere on Performance Anxiety on the Pantheon Podcast Network.
