Rock and Roll Geek Show 395 -Brijitte West Interview

On this show I interview Brijitte West. She used to be the singer/guitarist/songwiter/leader of New York Loose. They put out one of my favorite albums, The Year of The Rat in 1996 on Hollywood Records. They got dropped and Brijitte retired from music for a long time. She got married, started a family and led a normal life. (more…)

Robin Zander “Solo” record Release in May!

The greatest singer in rock has a new album coming out! Robin Zander recorded a bunch of songs he wrote alongwith some classics.

From Cheap Trick’s Website:

What do a handful of Nashville’s premiere session players, the singer from Cheap Trick, the drummer from Neil Young & The Bluenotes, the Warren Brothers, Producer Chris Lindsey, Tim McGraw’s recording team, Nashville’s newest star, Sarah Buxton, Executive Producer Bill Edwards and Big 3 records have in common?

COUNTRYSIDE BLVD.
That’s the title of the record.

COUNTRYSIDE
That’s the name of the band.

This unique group of musicians, songwriters, and singers gathered in Nashville last year and recorded 12 songs. In that place and time they have captured a fresh country sound with a combination of musical styles.

The songs were written and sung by Robin Zander along with a few classics.  The album features Sarah Buxton, Tom Bukovac, Pat Buchanan, Chad Cromwell, J.T. Corenflos, Dan Dugmore, Tim Lauer, Glen Worf, Larry Franklin, Perry Coleman, Robin T. Zander and the Countryside Singers.

“I’m hopeful that when people discover this album that it’s as fun to listen to as it was to record” states Sara Buxton.

“I’ve always wanted to do a record in Nashville and this is it.” says Robin Zander, “To have these musicians of this caliber record my songs for COUNTRYSIDE BLVD was one experience I won’t soon forget. Thanks to all for doing one hell of a record.”

Michael Monroe Joined by Nasty Suicide Onstage in Helsinki

Michael Monroe was joined onstage last night in Helsinki, Finland by original Hanoi Rocks guitarist Nasty Suicide. He joined the band onstage for a rocking version of The Stooges’ I Feel Alright(1970). If I’m not mistaken, this is the first time they’ve played together onstage since Demolition 23. Correct me if I’m wrong. If you have not seen Michael Monroe’s band, which consists of Ginger (Wildhearts) on guitar, Steve Conte(NY Dolls) on guitar, Sam Yaffa(NY Dolls, Hanoi Rocks, Jetboy) on bass and Karl Rockfist (CHELSEA SMILES, DANZIG) on drums, you are missing one of the best live rock shows you will see all year.

Axl Rose Threatens to Walk off Stage in Lima, Peru

Fans had to wait over 1 hour for Guns n Roses to take the stage last night in Lima, Peru. Sebastian Bach finished his set just after 11:00 pm and Axl and Co. took the stage at almost 12:30 am. By this time, fans were exhausted and feeling like they were taken and when GnR took the stage, the crowd began pelting the singer with cups and other crap. He stopped the song during the 1st song and brought an interpreter onstage to say:
“If you wanna throw shit, we will leave.”
“We would like to stay and have fun with you for a long time tonight.”
He then added, “So we’re gonna have fun? Let’s try that again.”

The Runaways Live at The Palladium, NYC Jan 7th, 1978

Wolfgang’s Vault just added a classic from The Runaways from Jan 7th, 1978 at the Palladium, NYC. Although they list Cherie Currie as part of the band, this is actually from the Waiting for the Night Tour. Cherie had quit the band by this time and Joan Jett was handling lead vocals. You can tell she is nervous as a front person at this point. Drummer Sandy West sings Wild Thing but the rest of the lead vocals are Joan. This is a nice piece of history.
