Howlin' Wolf - Rockin' The Blues : Live In Germany 1964

Ahouhouuuuu! Here's another gem of one of my all-time favorite bluesmen, Mr. Chester Burnett! The Wolf is joined on this set by his long-time guitarist Hubert Sumlin and Chicago greats Willie Dixon and Sunnyland Slim. This performance is one of the best examples of Howlin’ Wolf at the height of his powers when he was still an enormous influence on the British Blues movement. Wolf had toured the UK with The Folk Blues Festival before undertaking a solo tour of Germany shortly after The Rolling Stones had topped the Euro charts with their version of his “Little Red Rooster”.

Little Milton - Stax Profiles

Although Little Milton (Milton Campbell) is chiefly remembered for his fine Chess Records sides from the '60s, his stay at Stax Records in the early '70s saw him expand his palette with horns and strings in a more soul-oriented direction, and in many ways it was his most creative period. He never strayed too far from the blues, particularly as a guitarist, but his Stax sides increasingly showcased his amazingly expressive singing, and his intense vocals on the best of these tracks is nothing short of redemptive. This generous single-disc overview of Milton's Stax years (it comes in at a little over 70 minutes in length) has a little bit of everything, from live tracks featuring his precision guitar skills to fully arranged sessions with horns and strings that spotlight his voice. The opener, a live take of "Let Me Down Easy" from the 1973 Montreux Jazz Festival featuring the odd, driving drum skills of Calep Emphrey, is an emotional tour de force and is easily one of the most powerful tracks here, with Milton singing like a desperate, displaced angel. Another live cut, a version of Willie Dixon's "I Can't Quit You Baby" recorded at the Summit Club in Los Angeles in 1972, showcases Milton's lead guitar work, which is reminiscent of B.B. King but with a larger and more raw tone. Highlighting the studio tracks are the impressive "Walkin' the Back Streets and Crying" from 1972 and the loose, garage-feel of 1971's delightful "I'm Living off the Love You Give," which edges into Motown territory with its romping rhythm, backing chorus, and efficient use of both horns and a string section. Another clear highpoint here is Milton's 1973 take on Roy Hawkins' (by way of B.B. King) "The Thrill Is Gone," which is simply an ominous, desperate gem with an eerie string chart played by the Memphis Symphony. Little Milton's Chess years still contain his most clearly defined work, but as he stretched out a bit with Stax, Milton revealed that his guitar and vocal skills weren't just restricted to blues pieces. That he didn't have more commercial success with Stax is a bit of a mystery.

Bob McFadden & Dor - Songs Our Mummy Taught Us

Robert "Bob" McFadden (19 January 1923 — 7 January 2000) was a singer and voiceover actor best known for his many contributions to animated cartoons. His best known characters were Milton the Monster, Cool McCool, and the ThunderCats' Snarf. In cereal commercials, he played Franken Berry and others.

McFadden was born in East Liverpool, Ohio and was in the United States Navy in World War II when he got his start as a singer and impressionist. He went on to do an opening act for the likes of Harry Belafonte in Pittsburgh where he worked at a steel mill. McFadden continued in this vein for years until a move to New York in the mid 1960s, which resulted in a great deal of voice-over work in commercials and animation. In the late 1950s he collaborated with Rod McKuen on a single entitled "The Mummy", the "B" side "The Beat Generation" parodied the then-emerging literary community of the name; on this record, McKuen used the pseudonym "Dor" and later claimed that Bill Haley & His Comets were the band used for the recording session, though this has not been confirmed. McFadden and McKuen also released a full-length album in 1959 called "Songs Our Mummy Taught Us" (Brunswick 54056). In 1963, McFadden released the parody album "Fast, Fast Relief From TV Commercials" (Audio Fidelity AFSD 6112).

He lived in Leonia, New Jersey. McFadden continued to work until the late 1980s, when poor health put him into retirement. He died in Delray Beach, Florida in 2000, twelve days before he would have turned 77.

Cozy Cole - Cozy Cole Hits!

Who ever said jazz drummers couldn't rock??

Here we have one of the greatest & wildest drummers, Mr. Cozy Cole himself!

This is a very hard-to-find album, in which figures his best known masterpiece, "Topsy Parts I & II", and a lot of lost treasures.

Every single song starts with a "big" voice introduction, which makes me smile everytime, and of course the Allan Hartwell big band is really heavy.

I wouldn't say it's definitely my favorite jazz album, because it doesn't seem only restricted to that kind of music to me.. it's somethin' like "Big Beat"! Yeah that's it, if you dig that sound!

R.I.P. Dale Hawkins

The rock & roll tornado lost his long battle with cancer, on february the 13th.
Dale's music will never be forgotten, he had a lot of wild presence in his voice and all the instrumentals were outstanding. I don't really know what to say about him because I didn't know him personally, but I can confirm he was a real cool cat.
My thoughts go to his family...

The Equals - A Retrospective Journey

 

Line-Up :

Derv Gordon - Lead vocals 

Lincoln Gordon - Guitar 

Eddy Grant - Guitar 

Pat Lloyd - Bass guitar 

John Hall - Drums

What to say about this awesome & forgotten band? At first, I didn't know this band before watching a Senders live video @ CBGB's, covering "Baby Come Back".. yeah, I came across internet, listening to the original version, and instantly thought "Damn, I sure have heard this tune at least three times!". So four times a fool! Whatever...

Some call The Equals a "skinhead band", others a "pop group", personnally I'd define it as true R&B.

From Wikipedia :

They started rehearsing on a council estate at Hornsey Rise, North London in 1965. In 1966 the group released the "Hold Me Closer" / "Baby Come Back" single, which did not capture much attention in the United Kingdom. However, in Germany and The Netherlands it went to #1 - a position its re-issue would later reach in the UK. Thus, the racially mixed London group gave President Records their only number one hit. A gold disc was presented to the group in June 1968 for a combined one million sales of the record. The year 1968 saw the release of "I Get So Excited" which appeared in the Top 50 of the UK Singles Chart. It was reported in September 1969 that all five members of the group had been injured in Germany, when their car ran off a motorway in a gale.

A string of single releases followed up to 1970, all of which charted in the UK. The group also attracted attention as one of the few racially integrated bands of the 1960s, which was reflected in the group's name: The Equals.

Following a collapsed lung and heart infection which put him out of action at the beginning of 1971, Grant went home to Guyana. He promptly left The Equals to pursue his solo career. In the late 1970s and early 1980s released several Top 40 singles, including "Living On The Front Line", "Electric Avenue" and "Romancing the Stone". Grant also topped the UK Singles Chart in 1982 with "I Don't Wanna Dance". Although The Equals never charted again after Grant's departure, they remained a popular live act, performing into the late 1970s and beyond.

In the late 1970s, The Clash recorded a successful cover version of The Equals' song "Police On My Back". In 2006 Willie Nile released his cover of "Police on My Back" on his Streets of New York CD.

The Equals' song "Green Light" was covered by The Detroit Cobras, on their 2007 album, Tied & True.

The song "Baby Come Back" refused to go away. It returned in 1994, when Pato Banton scored an unexpected UK number one with his cover.

Ike Turner - 1958-1959

(Also known as "King Cobra : The Chicago Sessions")

Ever the hustler, Ike Turner found himself picking up some extra money on a road trip through Chicago recording for Cobra Records both as a bandleader and sideman. After contributing the sparkle to several Otis Rush classics (an alternate of one of them, "Keep On Loving Me Baby" is found here) and some early Buddy Guy sides, Ike Turner also recorded a handful of sides, scant few of them seeing release until now. This CD collects them all up, including surviving alternate versions, and is a delightful fly on the wall invite to a 1950's Chicago blues session.

A rare gem & must-have for all fans of R&B!

Lonesome Sundown - I'm A Mojo Man

Lonesome Sundown (his real name was Cornelius Green) had a little bit more Delta and Chicago blues in him than most of his Louisiana labelmates who recorded for producer J.D. Miller. Not that Sundown's sound isn't solidly in the so-called swamp blues tradition, but where Slim Harpo, Silas Hogan, and the other Excello artists worked from a laconic, Jimmy Reed-like shuffle, Sundown quickened the pace (at least for an Excello act) to a nastier level, and with Miller's reverb-laden production, ended up sounding a little bit like Jimmy Reed on speed, particularly on tracks like "Don't Go." Not that Lonesome Sundown couldn't do the patented Louisiana blues shuffle when he chose to, as his signature tune, "I'm A Mojo Man," shows, or even improve on the pattern, as with the loose-limbed and brilliant "I'm A Samplin' Man," but he seemed most at home doing more standard blues fare like the modern-sounding "My Home Is A Prison." This collection from Ace Records essentially reproduces the same set that is available from Excello Records, only with a different running order. Although Sundown made a comeback of sorts with a mid-'70s album from Alligator Records, these Excello sides are the ones you need.

The Howlin' Wolf Story - The Secret History Of Rock & Roll

DVD Rip (2003)

The Howlin' Wolf Story was directed by Don McGlynn, director of Charles Mingus: Triumph Of The Underdog and many other prize-winning film biographies. It was produced by Joe Lauro, whose company, Historic Films, Inc., supplied much of the footage for Martin Scorsese's blues series on PBS. Their in-depth look at Wolf's life and music includes astounding, rare film footage and never-before-seen photos of Wolf stalking the stage at the 1964 American Folk Blues Festival, on the TV show "Shindig" in 1965, at the 1966 Newport Folk Festival, and in the Chicago clubs in the '50s and '60s. It also includes entertaining and revealing new interviews with Hubert Sumlin, Jody Williams, Billy Boy Arnold, Sam Lay, Paul Burlison, Wolf's stepdaughters Barbara and Bettye, Dick Shurman, and many other people who played with and knew Wolf in his heyday. This is the definitive documentary about the Wolf—the most complete, personal, and exciting look at the blues legend ever put to film! The DVD includes :

- 90-minute director's cut (30 minutes of additional footage not seen in theaters)

- Rare footage of Howlin' Wolf presented by the Rolling Stones on Shindig performing "How Many More Years?"

- First presentation of previously unknown or unavailable performance footage

- Drummer Sam Lay's rare, never-before-seen home movies of stars of the Chicago Blues clubs from the early '60s

- Newly discovered photos of Howlin' Wolf and his band

 - First filmed interview with Howlin' Wolf's family

 - Exclusive interviews with Hubert Sumlin, Billy Boy Arnold, Marshall Chess, and many others

 A legitimate reason for which I share this documentary on download is that the DVD isn't available in France, and only exists on Zone 1 (America). I think the anti-piracy authorities can't blame me for that, firstly because Howlin' Wolf was dead a long time ago and I'm sure he wouldn't care about all these bullshits, and secondly because if it was available on the good standard in Europe (Zone 2), I sure would have bought it quickly as a big fan of the Howlin' Wolf! A shame..

Enjoy the devil's music, and I'd be glad to have your point of view on the documentary & reply to you.

Ahou-ouuuuuuuuu!

Neil Innes - How Sweet To Be An Idiot

Line-up :

Neil Innes - Vocals, guitar

Ollie Halsall - Lead guitar, organ

Andy Roberts - Rhythm guitar

Dave Richards - Bass

Mike Kelli - Drums

Backing vocals by The Mucrons

Neil Innes' first solo album is split between tongue-in-cheek parody and straight pop songs akin to the sort of things he did with his first post-Bonzos project, the World. Sometimes the line between the two is imperceptible, as in the Roy Wood-like '50s pastiche "Momma B." However, as in Innes' best Bonzo Dog Band material, even the sillest songs on How Sweet to Be an Idiot, "Topless-A-Go-Go" and the title track, which later became a standard of Innes' stage performances with Monty Python, are solidly melodic Beatlesque pop. Recorded in between albums by Innes' primary project at the time, the rock and poetry supergroup GRIMMS, the album features that group's Andy Roberts, as well as Ollie Halsall, who would become Innes' musical partner in the Rutles half of a decade later, playing bass and singing the Dirk McQuickly parts that Eric Idle would mime to in the All You Need Is Cash film. The playing, as expected, is terrific, but as with many albums of the mid-'70s, there's an unfortunate sterility to Innes' self-production. Everything is just slightly too clean and precise. There are times when this is effective, especially on straight pop songs like "Dream," "Song for Yvonne," and especially the Wings-like "This Love of Ours," but a little of the anarchist spirit of the Bonzos would go a long way.

Au-Delà De L'Avenue D

Réedition du livre de Philippe Marcadé, "Au-Delà De L'Avenue D", chez Camion Blanc!
A acheter les yeux bondés!


Disponible ici

Été 1972, un jeune Français de dix-sept ans débarque aux États-Unis pour l’un de ces trips alors en vogue, sous la double influence de Kerouac et de Easy Rider. Par cette traversée initiatique et joyeusement enfumée, semée d’embûches tragicomiques, Philippe Marcadé démarre en trombe un récit vertigineux, uniquement fondé sur des souvenirs dont quelques autres moins modestes auraient façonné une légende. À la fois aux premières loges et dans la coulisse, il va vivre en dix ans l’équivalent de dix vies. Hippie sans conviction mais punk de la première seconde, Philippe Marcadé passerait aisément pour un mythomane hors catégorie si les photos qui accompagnent son témoignage n’en validaient l’authenticité, et surtout si la vérité du vécu ne palpitait autant sous chacune des anecdotes de première main qui bourgeonnent à chaque chapitre de son livre. Sans parler du casting, la plupart du temps vue sous un angle inédit. Jugez plutôt : des New York Dolls à Blondie, de Nan Goldin aux Ramones, de Nancy Spungen aux Cramps, il est de tous les baptêmes, témoin des effusions comme des (nombreuses) embrouilles, à l’origine parfois de certaines d’entre-elles. Philippe Marcadé est allé « au-delà », il en est revenu entier, et lorsqu’on dévore son témoignage, on se demande encore comment.

Chris Kenner - I Like It Like That

Need a real shot of rhythm & blues? For those who don't know this talented singer, you're missing a part of music history.
Christopher Kenner, born in 1929, in the New Orleans suburb of Kenner, Louisiana, is firstly remembered for performing one hit single called "I Like It Like That", but his notoriety was a bit underrated for his other recordings. Though the man recorded on Imperial Records, knew well Dave Bartholomew (Fats Domino's producer) and saw his songs covered by many soul/r'n'b popular artists ("Land Of 1000 Dances" covered by Wilson Pickett & Rufus Thomas, and "Something You Got" covered by Them Feat. Van Morrison), he remains nowadays unknown by a major part of people.
Musically, Chris Kenner can be really close to Ernie K-Doe, and his tunes make you feel like groovin' & seducin' a little go-go girl, if you know what I mean :-)

This french glam-rock band is nowadays unfortunately unknown in the music industry, but we don't care because not many people digs rock 'n roll today. On this cover, they sure look like the NY Dolls or Hanoi Rocks, and that's not a coincidence with their music style. Don't take them for copycats or I'll kick your ass!
Many tunes could make you think of the Rolling Stones or Mott The Hoople riffs, and the guitar solos are really influenced by Johnny Thunders... and produced by Dave Goodman (the Sex Pistols sound-engineer) it's not necessarily a bad thing!

Neil Innes & The World - Lucky Planet

Line-Up :
Neil Innes - Lead vocals, guitar, piano
Dennis Cowan - Bass, guitar, vocals
Ian Wallace - Drums, vocals
Roger McKew - Lead guitar
Guest on track 2 : "Bubbles" White - Lead guitar

Produced by Neil Innes


What does a Bonzo do when his world crashes around him? Answer: build a new one.

And Neil Innes, one time pianist, writer and singer with the Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band has taken the plunge and formed his own group.

Nobody's mourned the passing of the Bonzos more than the group. But its demise seemed inevitable when they did not get the recognition they felt four years hard work deserved. It left high and dry a bunch of personalities with individual talents who were used to working together, in however loose a fashion. In some cases, their present whereabouts and activities are a bit of a mystery. Saxist Rodney Slater is believed to have given up the music business and has taken to social work. Legs Larry Smith produced a record which flopped, and was last seen loudly hailing taxis in London's Wardour Street.

Roger Spear, the ace explosions and machines man has gone out on the road with his own successful and hilarious one man show The Giant Kinetic Wardrobe.

One of the most positive steps for the future has been taken by Neil and bassist Dennis Cowan., They have formed a group simply called THE WORLD, have released a single called "Angelina" and plan an LP release called "Lucky Planet" on November 6.

All the material has been written by Neil and the music ranged from rock to pure pop. Naturally some of the Bonzos flavour has been retained, and humour has not been entirely abandoned from their "live" act.

The line-up includes Neil (lead vocal, piano and guitar) Dennis Cowan (bass, guitar and vocals), Ian Wallace (drums, vocals), and Roger McKew (lead guitar).

Neil appeared in the MM's ale house, the Red Lion, this week, clutching a packet of Gold Flake "Honey Dew" cigarettes, and wearing an elderly sports jacket and a Volkswagen.

"We've played a few gigs so far." he revealed, "and they went down really well."

What led to the formation of the World? "When Vic (Viv Stanshall) got ill, I got a bit fed up. Dennis and Ian Wallace and myself were free, so we thought of forming our own group.

It was all surprisingly easy. We got Roger McKew and we got together last May and started to rehearse. We're signed to Liberty, but we are also free to record with who we like.

It's funny, we didn't know how it would turn out, but we are all pleased with the band, and I'm sure it will go from strength to strength, although it's early days yet.

"I haven't really changed in my song-writing style. I write about the same sort of things really., Some of the songs have Bonzo titles like '95 Pollution Blues.'* I was always interested in the things Vic did and I backed him up. I will still be dealing with images and outspoken ideas, but now I can get more into the music.

"The Bonzos were really individuals who were accidentally teamed up. It didn't break up through disagreements on policy, because we never had a policy. And it was not through personal reasons because we were closer friends at the end than we had been through the whole history of the band. We were just tired physically and mentally. We hadn't had a holiday in all the time the band was together. And we went through some heavy management scenes."

Did Neil feel personal regret at their passing? "Oh, enormous... incredible feeling of nostalgia. When Vic got ill we thought of reforming if it would have helped him in any way.

"He was silly really in that he went on with the Big Grunt right after the Bonzos, without a rest."

What is the significance of the title of Neil's new group - if any?

"Nothing in particular except that it means a 'whole' and not being particularly dogmatic about anything. The name could either have been the 'Strawberry Armpit' type or joke names like 'The Thousand Guitars Of Vernon Motion.' Vernon Motion was the performing parlour snake of the "Thirties you read about in the Sunday colour supplements. It's perfectly true!

"We hope the band will sound fresh and our stage act isn't a heavy moody thing."

What was the LP called?

"Lucky Planet."

Lucky hairnet?

"Yes, that'll do! I've always been the quiet spoken member of the group. I got the title from the Evening Standard horoscope. Today - Jupiter is your Lucky Planet!

"I'd like the group to be Overground rather than Underground. Nothing would please me more than to get into the chart. Not for the money - but to get the recognition. I just hope people accept the World as guys who can play their instruments and are trying to get something across.

"WE'RE NOT GOING TO BE A TEENYBOP BAND ANYWAY."

Je tenais à faire découvrir ce groupe Lyonnais si peu connu, qui est le mien, et pour qui la musique est intemporelle. Les Greedy Bastards, c'est avant tout un long parcours, depuis le lycée, jusqu'à un changement de formation (deux guitaristes actuellement, et Noël Kay, batteur de Slaughter & The Dogs). Ce live (quoique un peu trash) a été enregistré au bar le Trokson à Lyon, le 6 décembre 2008.
Vous retrouverez un set de reprises de groupes que nous respectons pour l'amour du rock 'n roll, tels que Johnny Thunders, The Senders, Flamin' Groovies ou encore Tony Truant.
Tous les avis sont les bienvenus!

SCUM - The Lost Tapes

Line-Up :
Wayne Barrett : Vocals
Noël Kay : Drums
Karim Mansour : Guitar
Zeus : Bass



A l'heure où Slaughter And The Dogs avaient déjà splitté et s'étaient reformés avec Morrissey au chant, le Manchester boy, Wayne Barrett, ne perdait pas son temps à se contenter de jouer qu'avec des anglais.. installé à Lyon dans les années 80, il monta alors un groupe de rock peu commun, dont les 3 autres membres provenant d'une formation jazz-rock ne sont d'autre que Noël Kay (batteur enragé de Slaughter And The Dogs, depuis la reformation du groupe fin 80's avec Wayne), Karim Mansour (guitariste underground très doué, avec un penchant pour Allan Holdsworth et Ollie Halsall) et Zeus (bassiste fan de Cheap Trick, à ce jour restaurateur). Imaginez une alliance entre ces 4 zikos, où le rock 'n roll, le jazz-rock et le hard-rock se mêlent.. ça donne un truc totalement bizarre et surprenant!
Ils vont même jusqu'à faire un hommage à George Benson, en reprenant "On Broadway", dont ils ont aussi fait un clip à Lyon.
Scum a partagé entre autres l'affiche avec Def Leppard, Richie Blackmoore, Trust, Téléphone, Iron Maiden ou encore Killing Joke.
Signés à l'époque chez Barclay, aucun album n'a jamais vu le jour, et c'est pour cela que je ressors d'une vieille flight case aux trésors tous leurs enregistrements à partir d'une cassette DAT. La cassette a très mal vieilli, le son est crade, les basses overdubent de temps en temps et la caisse claire sonne comme du chewing-gum, mais ça reste une bonne archive! Parmi mes préférées figurent "On Broadway", "Days Are Cold", "Wife Stealers", et "Open Range" une superbe ballade.
Do It Dog Style!

Hollywood Brats - Whatever Happened To The Hollywood Brats

Here's the second (and last album?) of the Hollywood Brats, a great one, but I didn't find any further information. There's still a lot of classical music mixed-up with rock 'n roll, especially in "Borgia Street". "She's Got Class" is one of my favorites, a fast & raw song with a lot of piano parts too.

Hollywood Brats - Hollywood Brats

Line-up :
Andrew Matheson - Vocals, Acc. Guitar, Percussion
Casino Steel - Piano, Organ, Acc. Guitar, Vocals
Brady - Guitar, Vocals
Lou Sparks - Drums
Wayne Manor - Bass


In England 1972, the Hollywood Brats were shopping at thrift stores for huge platform boots, feather boas, women's blouses, applying tons of makeup and nail polish and banging out fast paced rockers. Meanwhile over the water The New York Dolls were doing the same. Of course the Dolls went down in history getting all the plaudits and a good record deal with Mercury before royally fucking up. The Brats however got nothing except a record deal with some Mafiosi care of Keith Moon who then refused to release their record. Unsurprisingly the Brats aren't well known except to the punk cognoscenti.
Though aware of the Dolls, the Brats didn't set out to copy them though bands had obvious similarities, visually and sonically. All the songs were written by Matheson and Steel, bar their cover of 'Then He Kissed Me'. In those days a man singing lyrics like those were outrageous.
With no takers The Brats signed the worst possible record deal and recorded an album in 1973. The LP was produced by Matheson and featured only one slow song, 'Drowning Sorrows'. which is a like the Stones doing 'Love In Vain'. The rest of the album was fast rockers. Also on the album was the pre punk classic 'Sick On You.'

The Raunch Hands - Learn To Whap-A-Dang

Line-Up :
Michael Chandler - vocals
Michael Tchang - guitar
Michael Mariconda - guitar
George Sulley - bass
Vince Brnicevic - drums


No matter how far rock music has strayed from its basic roots, there comes a time in every era and scene when audience attention rushes back to the pure and driving sounds of blues and rockabilly. This group came along at just such a time and place. No matter how rococo various private and underground clubs in New York City's East Village were, and no matter how far out some other bands were getting, the Raunch Hands brought back a roots approach that was well received, and extremely refreshing. Musically, there is nothing the least bit new in a single note played by this group. That apparently was the whole idea, but one of the attractive elements of the group is that it goes for the entertaining, goofy side of this style of music rather than trying to project the deadpan, ultra-serious image of roots rockers in plaid shirts. Live, the group went for cheap equipment and the type of ambience that has never been transferred successfully from the barroom to the recording studio, let alone to the larger venues that might be part of a band's upwardly mobile career path. Thus, the recorded legacy has to be taken as a distant second to the live experience of seeing this group on-stage. Learn to Whap-a-Dang With the Raunch Hands is, overall, one of the group's most consistent recorded efforts. The humorous cover art adds to the enjoyment of an album that rocks hard pretty much all the way through, not so much peaking in this highlight or that but providing nary a letdown, either. The rhythm section of bassist George Sulley and drummer Vince Brinicevic is excellent.

The Waldos - Rent Party

Line-Up : Walter Lure : Guitar, Vocals / Tony Coiro : Bass, Vocals / Joey Pinter : Guitar / Jeff West : Drums

(Also on Sons Of The Dolls blog)

The long awaited Waldos album proved to be a big success, at least artistically. Led by former Heartbreaker co-lead guitarist and co-lead singer Walter Lure, the Waldos tear through a set of tunes that are as much fun as a CD can have with its clothes on. Unfortunately the air of tragedy that surrounds Lure and the Waldos tempers the rock & roll good time. After threatening to put out an album for about six years, this platter finally arrived and exceeded expectations. Produced by Andy Shernoff (Dictators), this is a fully realized piece of work. For lack of a simpler description, think of it as the follow-up (over 15 years later) to the Heartbreakers' LAMF album. Unlike much of the Johnny Thunders solo work, though, this stays firmly in Heartbreakers territory. Rent Party has several "new" Walter Lures tunes on it (many people don't realize that Lure wrote and sang half the Heartbreakers' material), all of which don't miss a beat from the old days. Of particular interest is "Flight," a song that the original Heartbreakers did back in the Richard Hell days. It is a good-time rock & roll classic and it's hard to imagine why it was dropped from the band's set so early on. Also, a Jerry Nolan original, "Countdown Love," sees the light of day for the first time here. Several covers that Lure had been playing for years find their way onto the disc as well. Most notably, "Seven Day Weeked" is pretty much as close as you'll get to a statement of purpose. Ray Charles' "Busted" gets the treatment as well. Lure must be a tough guy because most of the people who play on this are dead. Tony Coiro — dead. Saxman Jamey Heath — dead. Drummer Charlie Sox died before these sessions. Lifelong friends Jerry Nolan and Johnny Thunders — dead. Somehow Lure has maintained his spirit and vision through it all and he's managed to stay alive.

Levi Dexter - Rockabilly Idol

Levi Dexter was born January 28th, 1957, in London, England. Being a native of London and nearby Southend, Levi grew up hearing the roots of rock 'n' roll in the Teddyboy pubs. On a strict diet or 50's Rock 'n' Roll Oldies, Levi was very influenced by Elvis Presley, Gene Vincent and Eddie Cochran, and lists Bill Haley and his Comets as his favorite band. The first rock n' roll concert Levi went to was the Wembley Rock 'n' Roll Festival in 1972 with Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bill Haley and His Comets, Jerry Lee Lewis, Billy Fury and many other great performers of the 50's era. By 1976, Levi was seen singing guest spots around London and with Teddyboy Bands such as Crazy Cavan & The Rhythm Rockers, and The Flying Saucers.

Demolition 23 - Demolition 23

Line-Up : Michael Monroe : Vocals, Harmonica / Sami Yaffa : Bass / Jay Hening : Guitar / Jimmy Clark : Drums

Demolition 23 was a rock band formed in 1993 in New York by former Hanoi Rocks frontman Michael Monroe and ex-Star Star guitarist Jay Hening, following the ending of Monroe's Jerusalem Slim project with Steve Stevens.

Initially Demolition 23 was a covers band playing live shows in New York with Monroe and Hening joined by accomplished session drummer Jimmy Clark. Their shows were notable for guest appearances by music industry friends such as Sebastian Bach and Kory Clarke.

Demolition 23's eponymous debut album was recorded at Power Station Studios in New York City and produced by Little Steven. Monroe's former Hanoi Rocks bandmate Sami Yaffa played bass guitar on the album and the music was a return to Monroe and Yaffa's punk roots with tracks such as Same Shit Different Day, Hammersmith Palais and covers of songs by Johnny Thunders, UK Subs and The Dead Boys. The album was dedicated to the memory of Stiv Bators and released on the Music For Nations label in 1994.

Jay Hening was injured in a road accident in 1994 and after being refused entry to the UK for a tour of Europe was replaced on guitar by Nasty Suicide. With three former members, the touring line-up of Demolition 23 was the closest to a reunion of Hanoi Rocks since that band had split up in 1985. On February 14th, 1995 the former Hanoi Rocks guitarist Andy McCoy joined Demolition 23 for three songs at Tavastia Club, in Helsinki. That date, despite the 2001 rebirth of Hanoi Rocks, marks the only time that the four surviving members of the classic Hanoi Rocks line up (Monroe-McCoy-Suicide-Yaffa-Razzle) have played together since January 1985.

In March 1995 Nasty Suicide announced his departure from the band much to the surprise of Michael Monroe who then decided to split the band.

The Richmond Sluts - Richmond Sluts

Line-Up : Bass : Chris B / Drums : Brad Artley / Piano & Organ : Justin Lynn / Lead Vocals, Guitar, Add. Percussion : Shea Robert


One trick pony. Les Richmond Sluts sont géniaux… Les Richmond Sluts n'existent plus. Le groupe a splitté peu après cet unique album. Sorti en 2001, ce brulot de 35 minutes demeure aussi vital qu'un "Is This It" ou un "White Blood Cells".

Sex, drugs & rock'n'roll. Richmond, San Francisco est un paradis de junkies, de violence et de débauche. Ces "salopes" donnent une vision sans concession de leur style de vie – de tous leurs contemporains, on ne voit que les Libertines pour rivaliser avec eux sur ce plan. Un aperçu des paroles est révélateur; on a droit à diverses déclarations telles que "I just gotta get high baby tonight", "Got the cocaine blues and I'm looking for some trip", "My baby's addicted to dope", "I dream of death" ou encore "Tight leather pants and your high heels, I'd do anything for that little ass"…

Croisement ideal des New York Dolls (pour le style, les fringues et, forcément, le nom) et des groupes garage sixties (on pense aux Seeds ou à Paul Revere & The Raiders pour l'orgue omniprésent), les Richmond Sluts débordent d'énergie et de classe. Tout est parfait dans ce disque : la pochette d'abord, présentant quatre branleurs menés par un chanteur au charisme inné, la musique ensuite et des morceaux exécutés à 1000 à l'heure par un groupe en état de grâce qui se permet les improvisations les plus renversantes dès le morceau d'ouverture, "Take You Home". Jusqu'au tube final ("Yeah Alright"), les claques s'enchaînent. Dans un monde parfait, ce disque aurait fait un carton… il en avait le potentiel. Dans un monde parfait, les Richmond Slut n'auraient pas splitté devant l'indifférence du monde à leur génie. Ils auront au moins eu le temps d'enregistrer cet album indispensable. Sûr que dans 15 ans on verra leur nom resurgir au gré d'une nouvelle vague rock. Pour l'instant, contentons nous de faire vivre leur musique en partageant le secret le mieux gardé de San Francisco avec le plus de monde possible.
