On today’s Lou’s Control (pre – recorded) Rock N Roll Radio Program – Hope all of you are safe, sane and healthy.

Suzi Quatro fans…Rock N Roll Hall Of Famer Dennis Dunaway recently sent me a song that he recorded with Reggie Vinson. Suzi celebrated her 70th birthday last week. Tune in to hear it.

Godfathers fans….Peter Coyne was kind enough to send me music from their new single. I will spin both sides for you. Peter was supposed to be a guest on today’s show. We moved the interview to next week so we can pay tribute to Steve Priest.

Rob Sweeney gives us the MP3 Of The Week (think Australia meets France meet Jeffrey Lee Pierce),

On today’s pre-recorded Lou’s Control Rock N Roll Radio Program: Hoping all of you are safe, healthy and sane. It’s a crazy world as of late, music is always a great remedy, ok?

Chris Wardman was kind enough to share couple of Blue Peter tracks recorded live in Oshawa (in support of their Radio Silence record release). I will be spinning these as well as some early Blue Peter tunes too.

Digging back into the late 70’s to play some music from Stanley Frank – What ever happened to Stanley Frank? Sending these out to Kerry Doole and Gene Champagne.

You will hear music from Sparks’ newest record A Steady Drip Drip Drip, plus a classic from Kimono My House. (Mark Tharme and Tammy Ziegler, enjoy these!)

New Single, ‘Second Hand Smoke’ available now

BRYCE CLIFFORD & BROTHER SUPERIOR·THURSDAY, 28 MAY 2020·

The first single ‘Second Hand Smoke’ is now available on Spotify/iTunes/Amazon. Can be found by searching straight-up ‘Bryce Clifford’.

‘Second Hand Smoke’ is the 1st single of 3 with accompanying music videos coming out ahead of the new record entitled ‘Rebounder’, due this August.

Produced in multiple studios between Ontario and Austin, the record has been two hard-fought and expensive years in the making. ‘Rebounder’ will be rolled out in the coming months.

Til then, pls visit the back catalogue at this link, https://bryceclifford.bandcamp.com/, where all the music can be heard for free.

Madi Distefano, owner of Austin lounge ‘Dozen Street’, kindly wrote this of the band:

“Bryce Clifford & Brother Superior put the song back at the center of rock and roll. If they were hair-rock assholes, they would be cranking out passionate Americana anthems that blare from the car windows of teenagers across the states. But Clifford’s indie-rock influence and post-punk attitude bring us a much more interesting and nuanced approach to songwriting.

These musicians bring with them influences of blue-grass, classical, honky-tonk, old school soul… name it – you might hear it. That said, a Bryce Clifford set is dominated with driving melodic rock songs that get stuck in your head, are played with joy, and have a touch of nostalgia that feels right and hits home.”

**1 of 15 Artists to Catch at North By Northeast Festival.” – Richard Flohil (Canadian music icon)

“Heavy hitting band with rueful and acerbic lyrics and bar room scarred vocals.” – NOW Magazine, Toronto

“Standout track ‘I Wanna Buy A Condo Downtown’ … riding a slow wrecking ball of alternative post-punk imbued with bellowing baritone sax” – Kevin Curtin, The Austin Chronicle

Hail Tapes LP *9 of 10 stars. “The penultimate track ‘Last Call in the Northeast’ with it’s haunting harmonica, guitar and lyrics clearly shows that they have the talent to make their mark. A very impressive record.”” – Andy Riggs, Americana UK

“You need hear Clifford’s music!! You’ll be surprised by the unexpected directions it will take you and the musical pictures it paints, often filled with dark texts. ” – Freddy Celis, ROOTSTIME Belgium

Bryce Clifford & Brother Superior music has appeared on CBS, MTV, The Syfy Channel, Bravo Canada, The CW, and acclaimed indie film ‘Here We Are’.

On today’s Lou’s Control Rock N Roll Radio Program: I had the opportunity to pre-record an interview with Gary Topp and David Collier. We chatted about the new graphic memoirs called – TOPP: PROMOTER GARY TOPP BROUGHT US THE WORLD. Please get your copy – conundrumpress.com

Gary Topp has been very influential in shaping our love and fascination for music, movies, art and much more. Not only is he a consummate professional, but he is a great human being too. Hear how a young boy’s life visions became his reality. The art work of David Collier accompanying Gary’s memoirs is absolutely exceptional. These two gentlemen also chose some special music selections for today’s show.

Rob Sweeney gives us the MP3 Of The Week. Here’s a hint… Winston-Salem meets NYC.

I will also spin some new music from The Black Halos (available on 

On today’s Lou’s Control Rock N Roll Radio Program – Hope all of you are healthy and safe. I had a radio show all planned to pre-record last week for today.

This band really had an impact on so many rock and roll fans and musicians. ( I am going to tag some Pretty Things fans in this blurb – the set goes out to you folks). I love The Pretty Things.

On today’s Lou’s Control Rock N Roll Radio Program – Hope you are all doing well. Today’s show has been pre-recorded once again with the tech assistance of Gunner Smith. I also want to give a shout out to CFMU’s Jamie Tennant for including many our pre-recorded shows into the station’s weekly scheduling. THANK YOU!

David Greenfield of The Stranglers fame passed away on May 3rd – Be prepared to hear music from the Stranglers first 4 – 5 albums (sending the set out to Mark Macdonald David Murkovich and Hey Abbott).

Many of us recognize Mick Ralphs for his time with Bad Company but we must also remember his other musical involvements. So get ready to hear music from Mott The Hoople (sending it out to Michael Grelecki and Gordon Steven Lewis), The Silence, The Doc Thomas Group (for Gaven Dianda), and a rare Led Zeppelin track that features Mick Ralphs playing guitar with the Zeppers.

I will also spin music from a Toronto band called Pleasure Craft. I had the “pleasure” (hahaha) of hosting couple of their shows earlier this year. I’m going to play two of their tracks and include it in a set of music with early Tubeway Army as well as music from Japan’s 2nd record. (Sending this set out to
