Rollins Band who are swiftly followed by Iggy Pop start things going this week

and as I recently saw Henry Rollins in is spoken word capacity I play a five

minute segment of Mr Rollins pearls of wisdom. The Jack Tars, who up until last

year were called Deadmen Walking, but still feature Captain Sensible, Slim Jim

Phantom, Mike Peters and Chris Chaney, have a track off their recent tour CD

aired. Going a bit mainstream I play some Metallica from “Master Of Puppets” as

this year it’ll be 30 years old. Meaning it’s been nearly three decades since

they released a decent album…… Jake Starr and The Delicious Fullness are live

in session. Unfortunately not with me but WFMU, New Jersey. We then have a bit

of a Norwegian Fest with firstly Razorbats who Dom Daley of Űber Rock

turned me onto, with a track from their debut full length release “Camp Rock”.

Talking of debuts; Märvel those three masked men from Smell City are playing

their first English/Wales dates which are; The Pipeline, London on the 10th

March, Hairy Dog, Derby 11th and the 12th sees them at Hard Rock

Hell in North Wales. Obviously a track from their latest offering “The Hills

Have Eyes” is played. Rounding up NorFest are Bloodlights with an exclusive

track taken from their SkullCandy Headphone Promo CD which I picked up in 2008.

For some reason, probably Blackmail, I have the urge to play some brand

spanking new Hip Priests, so I do. (The cheque’s in the Post.) Into the home

stretch its Little Richard morphing into Slade, with The Ruts actually closing

proceedings.
