    In

    support of their “comeback” album the Last Great Dreamers along with The Sonic
    Jewels, who up to this point had eluded me, played The Purple Turtle on Sunday
    21st September. Obviously The Squirrel and I were in attendance and
    this week’s show is the recorded result.

    The

    Boys to celebrate the release of their first new studio album, “Punk Rock
    Menopause”, in over 30 years played two UK dates last week. One in Newcastle
    and this one at The Jazz Café in London on Saturday 13th September.
    Joining the band for the encore was original founding member Andrew
    Matheson.

    For this week’s show I travelled up to

    The Boston Music Room in Tufnell Park for Amoeba Fest II that featured Peter
    Pan Speed Rock along with headliners Discharge. This was the first time I’ve
    caught Dutch band Peter Pan Speedrock but after their set it most certainly
    won’t be the last. Great Rock that brought out the local Turbojends. From first
    to third as this was the third time I’ve managed to see Discharge and each time
    with a different vocalist. Cal-Rat-JJ in that order, but the first time as a
    5-piece as original member Tezz rejoins his brother Bones on guitar along with
    bassist Rainy, drummer Dave and new vocalist JJ Janiak. Yes I know basically
    Broken Bones with the addition of Rainy……

    Welcome

    to this The Paranoid Squirrel Mid-Week Special. Special being the operative word
    as this episode features most probably the last ever Gasoline Queens gig. Recorded
    at the Unicorn in Camden on the 5th September with once again Chris
    Rockson joining them for a few choice numbers.

    On this week’s show

    I play you something from The Generators and No Direction, covers from Enuff Z’Nuff
    and Tracii Guns League Of Gentlemen, new tracks from Wayne Kramer, Bernie Tormé,
    The Dwarves, The Meatmen, Kory Clarke, Gorilla, The Curse, The Last Great
    Dreamers, The Datsuns and Crucified Barbara. I also talk about the closure of
    music venues. Are we just being nostalgic? And why foreign touring bands are
    treated better in Mainland Europe than in the UK. All this whilst eating a
    pizza which broke three of my teeth.

    This week’s show features the London

    debut solo gig of Nicke Borg, frontman with both Homeland and the reactivated
    Backyard Babies. Recorded at The Underworld in Camden on the 22nd
    August with just Nicke, an acoustic guitar and some choice stories, we hear an
    hours’ worth of songs from both the aforementioned bands
    along with some appropriate covers.

    Thanks

    sadly to the cancellation of last weekends Alt-Fest I was able to see The
    Damned on “Home Turf” playing The Forum, Kentish Town for the wallet saving
    price of a Tenner. (All right £14.15 once all the unnecessary charges had been
    added). I know it was only in April that the band graced the self same venue
    for Captain’s 60th Birthday gig, but this (second) time around there
    was less of a party atmosphere with more of a down to business vibe. Although
    Captain still gives as good as he gets in the banter department. A nice long
    set, still nothing post “Eloise”. I still love to hear this line up tackle
    something from “Not Of This Earth/I’m Alright Jack”, but at the end of the day
    I’m just glad The Damned are still out there. New album pleeeease……..

    Another

    live show this week recorded at a venue I’ve not been to before namely Under
    The Bridge which as the name suggests is under Stamford Bridge, home to Chelsea
    F.C. The band in question were/are Glen Matlock, Slim Jim Phantom and Earl
    Slick who collectively have been in The Sex Pistols, The Stray Cats and David
    Bowie. Obviously choice cuts from their more well know work are played albeit
    in a more Rock-a-Billy style, along with covers from Television, The Faces and,
    I kid you not, Pharrell Williams. Also joining the band for a cover of his and
    Earl’s former employer was Reeves Gabrels. A great band at a great venue, even
    if the Bar Prices reflected its location, The Wetherspoons in Fulham Broadway
    will be the stopping off point next time….

    After

    a 37 year absence The Dictators NYC, that’s Handsome Dick Manitoba, Ross “The
    Boss”, JP Patterson with Ramones associate Daniel Rey
    and Dean Rispler
    finally return to London to play The Highbury Garage as a prelude to their
    Rebellion Festival appearance. The last official Dictators album came out 26
    years ago in 1991 a gap of 13 years since 1978’s “Bloodbrothers” but even so
    none of the songs culled from them, “Go Girl Crazy” and “Manifest Destiny”
    sound dated. They sound just awesome as you are just about to hear along with a
    couple of covers thrown in for good measure in the shape and form of The
    Flaming Grooves “Slow Death” and with HDM reprising his Rob Tyner role with “Kick
    Out The Jams”.
