to Episode 506 of The Paranoid Squirrel Rock Show and on this week’s show I

bring you firstly The UK Subs, not the track that I was intending to play as it

hasn’t turned up in the post, yet. Over the last week, give or take, I’ve seen

three bands that were jaw droppingly good. The first was The DeRellas who I

hadn’t seen with Stevie and Bish supporting The Supersuckers last Friday, then

last Saturday I wandered up to the o2 in Greenwich to The Stone Free Festival primarily

to see The Michael Monroe Band who I knew were going to be good, but I wasn’t

prepared for them to be that good,

with Alice Cooper pretty much the icing on the weekend’s cake. Obviously I

throw in some live DeRellas, Michael Monroe and Alice Cooper. I even find time

for some studio Supersuckers. On the Pledge front Brijitte West & The

Desperate Hopefuls are front and centre with a new track from their as yet

unnamed second album. Next weekend sees Slugfest 9 at The Dolls House,

Abertillery in Wales. Three days of Glunk mayhem, to whit I play the Chuck

Norris Experiment, The Razorbats and as Baz Francis

from Magic Eight Ball is headlining Sunday’s acoustic shenanigans I play

something by them. As The Damned were recently in Abbey Road recording a 3D

(sic) version of “I Just Can’t Be Happy Today” I play the Radio Edit/Mix of the

original 1979 single. Keeping with The Damned connection I play a track from Chris

Constantinu, Paul Frazer & Judy Nylon aka The Mutants mini album “Time For

A Drink” that features Rat Scabies on drums. The Misfits have a brand new ep

out called “Friday 13th”. I did hope the line-up that recorded it

was going to be Jerry Only, Danzig and Wolfgang Von Frankenstein as they are

reuniting for a couple of Riot Fest dates. It isn’t but the ep is still good,

hence I play a track from it. Richie Ramone has a new album out in a couple of

months called “Cellophane”, but to whet our appetite has just released a single

of it which obviously I play. And that’s your lot for this week.
