New week, new show, old tunes, let’s go!!
There was a bit of talk over on the FB last week about Proto Punk which reminded me that punk didn’t start in 1977 (like last week’s show may have suggested.) So this week I’ve taken it right back to the source. Tune in for:
Taste
Turn this up, rock out!!!!
In light of the continuing loss of musical and inspirational figures over the last few weeks and years, the theme for tonight’s show is the life and legacy of music. Tune in for:
As a special treat this week, clicking on any of the bands above will take you directly to live footage of each artist.
Tune in, rock out, FUCK CANCER!!!!
This week’s show is a mix of Death and Protest. People from our extended musical community have passed away in both peaceful and violent circumstances and people from our extended musical community have refused to be scared and have instead insisted on doing what they believe in.
Things kick off with Protest in the form of Stiff Little Fingers who went ahead with their Paris gigs in spite of what happened last week.
We stay in the North for bands that played there even when it was often quite scary – The Undertones and Taste (plus a Moutpiece cover of Taste because I was feeling a bit cheeky). Then it’s back to a bit of protest with The MC5.
There were more passings in the punk rock community this week including the early death of Philthy Animal Taylor of Motorhead, so there is a bit of that and a bit of Hawkwind. Mitch Mitchell, drummer of the Jimi Hendrix Experience also died this week after playing a gig in Portland, so he get’s a bit of play as well. (Edit: Mitch Mitchell actually died during this week back in 2008)
At the halfway mark it’s a Desert Rock set in honour of the tragedies in Paris with some Eagles of Death Metal, Kyuss and Queens of the Stone Age.
Then we head down to Croatia, no strangers to war and strife, for some Frontalni Udar and Tito’s Bojs.
Wrapping things up it’s a bit of Female Hercules to mark a passing, Neil Young to mark a protest and Jeff the Brotherhood just because.
Tune in, Rock out, keep going to gigs.

This Wig Out Totally Rocks 9th October
This week’s show is all about the wig outs in honour of Sunday’s Lecherous Gaze Gig in The Pint. Tune in for:
And in a move that may lose me a few fans and cause me abuse in the pub OR make me some new friends and a few pats on the back, the show finishes with Free Bird in its entirety.
Tune in, rock out, get your ass to The Pint on Sunday
This Show Totally Rocks 93 17th July
This week’s show was supposed to be a tribute to the late Tommy Ramone and all of the Ramones really so it starts off with The Ramones and some of their contemporaries; The Dictators, New York Dolls and The Dead Boys. But then the speed of the Ramones knocked me into a more 80’s hardcore vibe with The Mad, Kraut, Really Red, Misfits, The Angry Samoans, The Adolescents, The Descendents, 7 Seconds, Scream and Dag Nasty. At the half hour mark the show returns to more of an homage to the sound of the Ramones with Mean Jeans, The White Wires, Bad Sports, Teenage Bottlerocket, The Circle Jerks, The Boys, The Dickies, The Steve Adamyk Band, The Hives and The Wax Museums. At the end The Stooges get a look in before an absolute classic from Taste finishes the show.
It may be a bit all over the place, but its all fast and most of it has some sort of pop appeal to it, so that’s The Ramones in a nutshell.
Turn it up, play it loud, RIP the original punk line-up.
