week I bring you studio and live material for you to get your ears round. Topic

of conversation that starts things going is the cancellation of the Foo

Fighters remaining European dates after Dave Grohl broke his leg. I and Mrs A.

had tickets for today and along with 160,000 other people who had them and for

yesterday, that’ll be friend of the show and Squirrel Associate, we’ve had to

find alternative entertainment. Ours is Alcohol and food. First up music wise

are the Biters and a track from their soon to be released debut album “Electric

Blood”. Then “Compare & Contrast” returns with the Damned being prosecuted by

Family. More new music in the shape and form of former Runaways vocalist Cherie

Currie who has just announced a UK tour in November with the Last Great

Dreamers in support. Live action come courtesy of 5 Seconds of Summer and Hey

Violet from last Sunday’s Wembley performance. I also pose the question why the

General Rock Community has a downer on the aforementioned 5sos. I was impressed

by Hey Violet so much so that I almost mugged off The Golden Gods Awards to see

their headline Islington Academy 2 gig. Onto the just mentioned Golden Gods; I

bring you Suicidal Tendencies, Baby Metal and Killing Joke. Sad news reached us

at the end of last week that Eddie Spaghetti bassist, vocalist with the Supersuckers

had been diagnosed with stage 3 oropharynx Cancer. Obviously

being American there is no free NHS Healthcare so his wife has set up the

“Fly the middle finger at Cancer and join The Eddie Spaghetti Fight Cancer Fund”

which you can at http://www.youcaring.com/eddie-spaghetti-373610.

The final live track this week comes from the last Supersuckers gig for a while.

Where Eddie Vedder and Blind Marky Feltchtone join the band for a rousing rendition

of The Ramones “I Believe In Miracles”, which we surely do. The final two bands

this week are The Trousers from Hungary and Nuclear Assault from NYC.
