live acoustic Jesse Malin recorded at The Borderline in London last Friday gets
this show underway and then, in a six degrees of separation Brijitte West &
the Desperate Hopefuls and an exclusive new track, that features some bloke
called Rich Jones, from their still pledgable “From N.Y. With Love” album,
which is due out in September, gets an airing. Daniel Lioneye who sport various
members of H.I.M. have a brand new album out shortly. Proceeding it the band
have just released a single from it which obviously I play. Dave Kusworth is up
next as one of his previous bands, TV Eye that also featured Black Bomber Dave
Twist, are about to get the re-issue treatment. The track I play ended up being
recycled by Duran Duran…..Canada is the next port of call with Billy Talent
telling us they are “Afraid of Heights”. Power-Pop joy as I discover an
American band called Slick! who take me back to the early 1970’s Top of the
Pops and Junior Choice. (Ask your Grandad). Following straight on afterwards
are Apache who along with Slick! and the BTs will be playing in London on the 4th
September. I played a demo by the Curse on last week’s show; this week it’s the
turn of a full blown, fully mixed track from the band’s 2014 album “World
Domination”. As I took ownership of the “We Are Twisted Fucking Sister” DVD
last week I discuss it and play a song by them to accompany it. Fantasy Lane
make their debut appearance on this week’s show and I apologise to Dead Furies
for playing a lo-res version of “Listen To T-Rex” by playing a new track from
their soon to be released “Devil’s Musik” ep. As a sequel to one of my all-time
favourite films, that’ll “Izzat”, is due out on DVD in September I play some
Gluecifer and as we hurtle towards the end of this week’s show it is Forbidden
Dimensions and The Right Here that take us up to the hour mark.
