Damned get things moving this week with The MC5, or to be exact The MC2, live

from Helsinki in 1972 following on after. Peter Mensch has been bemoaning about

the lack of great new bands, I beg to differ and to underline it I play a brand

spanking new track from the Sick Livers new album “Mid Liver Crisis” and a tune

from the last Chuck Norris Experiment album. Both, coincidently, just so

happened to play SlugFest 8 last weekend. 

To reiterate my piece on last week’s show about iTunes and streaming I

let you know what the Sick Livers have on offer in the way of formats

concerning their new album. For no other reason than it seems like I should I

play a track from the last Hip Priests album I do. Much merriment was also had

this week as Imperial State Electric have been announced as Graveyards special

guests in November. I’m I going? Give me a “Hell Yeah!” So to celebrate I play

a new track and the first single from ISE’s “Honk Machine” album and something

off the last Graveyard CD.  More new

music and as Kerrang gave Eva Plays Dead 2/5 for their debut EP I knew it was

going to be good and had to play a track. What do Kerrap know anyway? Steven

Tyler croons his way onto the show with the lead track off his debut (sic) and

Country album. Thanks to Camden Council and the closure of The Purple Turtle I

am now able to go and to the album launch gig of The Role Models’ “The Go To

Guy”. To whit I play a track from it that features Sami Yaffa on bass. Up next

it’s Dee Snider with his first original material in over 20 years. Hard to

believe I know. South London Rollin’ Punk Rock ‘n’ Blues Merchants The Kult 45s

lead us into the home stretch with me talking about how I’ve double booked

myself once again with One Direction. This time it’s The Wildhearts playing the

P.H.U.Q. album in full at The Shepherds Bush Empire that I’ll be missing.

Anybody what a Level 1 ticket? Last band this week is the “You kept that quiet

from me Jake” Go Mod Go! That amongst its 12 members is former Adam West and

current main name in The Delicious Fullness throaterlist Jake Starr. Modtastic.
