The voice of an angel.
seems a very interesting human, too ^
Grace Cummings is playing at Adelaide's Crown and Anchor, two days before Garage Sale in a few weeks..

Prodigy.
About a week ago.
Live at the isle of Wight festival.
Fucken insane.
They haven't lost a bit of it.

Happy Canada Day to those who celebrate such things.

Saw them together at a Big Day Out. Can't recall what year.
Here's one thing I'd never seen before.
While searching YouTube for music yesterday:
- I think it was '92 the BDO, another collab in article

Yep exactly same thing happened to me when searching for the same band.
Geez they were good a little while back on Sunny Coast!!

&pp=ygUuc3VpY2lkYWwgdGVuZGVuY2llcyBiYW5kIHN1bnNoaW5lIENvYXN0IGtpbmdzIA%3D%3D..speaking of Henry Garfield...
from around '81/'82 the DC two-piece below, Snakes, was doing tongue-in-cheek pisstake punk, surrounded by the emerging hardcore and straightedge dudes (Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Fugazi, etc). Henry was in a band with them (SOA), and convinced 20-yr-old Ian MacKaye to record the Snakes duo for Dischord records, but they were eventually released on the Discard sub-label, cos they weren't seen as cool enough by Ian, et al. (though punk pathetique was an authentic part of the DC scene.. ):
"everyone did these serious bands but then we all made ridiculous tapes at the same time, which were always more fun than the real bands. I have this tape of a new romantic band called Show 'n' Tell, which was Ian (MacKaye), me (Michael Hampton, Snakes, SOA), Eddie Janney (Faith, Rites of Spring), Mark Sullivan (Kingface), Ivor Hanson (SOA, Faith) and those are actually really good songs. We were trying to do Flock of Seagulls"..
I can't find that, (unfortunately!), but for $8, here's the Snakes debut:

or a free taste:
this stuff is very listenable for lovers of Meanies, Hard-ons, etc.. but if you like your punk like you like your wrestling, below is a gem of a clip from some of the above musos:
^^ Alec Mackaye, you-know-who's brudda, on vocals.
That Snakes song is great. DC hardcore encouraged monomania, short songs, stripped back, it was part of the monastic appeal - even shaved their heads like monks - but it also meant harmony and irreverence were in short supply.
That said, I enjoy the occasional Minor Threat live clip, especially the gigs in halls and rooms where there's no raised stage so the band and audience are level and bedlam ensues.
Like this. Minor Threat's greatest minute played live. Yeah it's a cover but whack it in the basket labelled 'covers that are better than the originals'.
that's epic; that guy throwing himself onto his own face halfway through sums up the scene's exquisite commitment.
These guys are good. Plini. (no singing lol ;)
Young bloke got me onto them he's a mad guitarist.
He saw them in Copenhagen last night.
Minor Threat/Ian Mackaye legendary stuff.
Grew up on that Minor Threat album.
Seemed like each song got faster than the one before it.
Original punk ethos. Respect.
+1 for Plini.
Cenny coast boy FWIW.
Had tickets to see him and Sungazer a couple of months ago, until the mrs pointed out that leaving her at home with a newborn and a toddler wouldn't be a wise move... mates said it was a great show.
Clowns are scary....
Scary good!
Happy Sunday Crew ~ Thanx for the Tunes...enjoy yer week...Keep The Fire Burning...

&pp=ygUeZ3JlYXQgc291dGhlcm4gbGFuZCBhYm9yaWdpbmFsSpeaking of Minor threat, right now im just listening to a great Podcast with Ian talking about recording Out of step. (the early EPs were much better though)
Great podcast, the pixies surfer rosa was a good listen and surprisingly the violent femmes ST was even better.
Yet to listen to any others a few good albums covered though like from Melvins, Mudhonry etc

Thanks for that ID.
From left field comes a visit from a band I hadn't paid attention to since they had their cocks in their socks and jumped up and down a lot.
Oddly the refresher came via my prodigious 14-year old nephew playing a song of theirs I hadn't really known, and upon lyrical inspection appears yet another ode to Hillel Slovak - released twenty-something years after his death and who-knows-how-many other musical odes later.
If Caravaggio can endure down through the ages for painting nude salad-dodgers then Anthony Kiedis can find his muse - and keep finding his muse - in the needle and damage done.
I think I’ve posted about these guys before but to be so young (16-17) and come out with a song like this is fucking epic.
Too bad two of them died of heroin overdoses at 30/31
Never get sick of this one.
Joel Silbesher is still kicking around. Plays in Headland, do live soundtracks to surf films, worth catching.

Hoss still play semi-regularly. Always worth checking them out...extremely underrated band.

Didn't the HardOns also tour a BDO with JerryA?
Yes 1993
Alright, time for some discussion on what yr all listening too. My iTunes inventory is getting a little stale so I'm up for some inspiration.
Currently loving The Drones' album "Havilah".. incredible songwriting and some of the best recorded guitars and drum I've heard in a long time. I'm a little late to the party with this album but it's on high rotation at the moment and will probably stay there a while. I've seen these guys live once (Fowlers, Adelaide) and fortunately they're incredible on stage too. Can't wait to see them again.
