There were a lot of folks that were very passionate about letting their views be seen and heard when President Obama’s motorcade came in too Tampa. This is what it was like to be on the outside of things.
Michael Monroe’s LA Press Conference starts this week’s show off, but the first track features Michael’s new guitar player in his Sonic Graffiti guise. Two Black Sabbath tracks are up next both demo’s the first being their most famous track with Ozzy’s original lyrics. The second is their first ever venture into the studio to record a Norman Haines track. The Rolling Stones, The Lime Spiders and The Damned are all in the interconnectedness section. The Goo Goo Dolls *spits* have a new single out which I play. As promised, on last week’s show, I play some Adam West. Hot of the press is a new Semi-Precious Weapons’ song but finishing off the whole shebang is a Beatles cover done by the Beastie Boys which was left off the ‘Licensed to Ill’ album but not my promo tape.
A Henry Rollins spoken word segment kicks this week’s show off which is swiftly followed by D.C.’s other favourite son Jake Starr’s first foray into the solo world. Then Dirty Passion, from Sweden, have a track played off their CDep. This week’s live section comes from Enuff Z’Nuff now featuring, once again, the vocal talents of Donnie Vie. I round the show up with a Demolition 23 track as I name the rumoured names who are going to be playing along with Sami Yaffa in Michael Monroe’s new band. (I nearly shat myself)
My special guest this week
is one of Australias rock legends.
His band Hunters & Collectors
reigned supreme in the 80s.
His solo career keeps going from
strength to strength.
Mark book Thirteen Ton Theory
is a great read and he is still making
great music
Two brand new tracks from the forthcoming Bloodlights CD start this week’s show off followed by two new tracks by fellow Norwegians Wig Wam. As Los Bastardos Finlandeses are playing the Bar Academy next month I play a couple of tracks from their latest album. Moving over to Sweden, Gotenburg, I dug out some Speedfreaks for you to enjoy. The Electric Boys are currently in the studio recording their new album so I play a 3 track demo medley from it. The US is the next port of call with two tracks from American Dog’s new album ‘Mean’. I finish off the show with a live version of ‘Rich Kids’ recorded by The Rich Kids at their recent Islington re-union gig.
