Flower City Jukebox

They say it all started with a jukebox; a local band was tired of the same crap on the jukebox at Rochester, NY downtown club, Scorgies. Kevin Patrick, singer of the band, New Math, and also an employee of a record distribution company, convinced Don Scorgie to re-fill the jukebox with the hipper, cooler songs of the day. It didn't take too much longer for Kevin and drummer, Paul Dodd, to convince Don that he should have live music, and that their band was the right one for the job. And an Inner City music scene was born. Paul Dodd, formed the Hi-Techs and then Personal Effects, and soon, riding on their coattails, were The Press Tones, Absolute Grey, Invisible Party, Colorblind James Experience, Lotus STP, The Ferrets, The Fugitives and many more.

An article documenting the scene is in the works (expect in January '09) but, until then, here are some podcasts celebrating the Flower City's array of great sounds from that time.
Episodes 1 & 2 are up here
jump over and take a listen

Absolute Grey : Tear Away

Beth Brown’s voice cuts straight to the heart. Buoyed by Pat Thomas’ propulsive drumming, Mitch’s melodic bass-as-lead-guitar, Matt nailing down the sound with power chords, it’s her voice that rose the band above the fray of their influences and sent them careening, on a good night, out into the unknown. It is why Absolute Grey is still being talked about today. That …plus Pat Thomas, as manager, calling everyone in the western world who would take his call. “It was this outlet”, says Mitch Rasor, bassist & principal songwriter, “...with all 4 of us plugging into it. It just happened….how the hell does that happen? Lightning strikes. Absolute Grey got lucky. It was this rare thing”.

The Tim Lee 3: A New Kind Of Fun

The latest album by the Tim Lee 3 may be tagged ‘Southern rock” by some listeners. And while I agree that it DOES go down particularly well with BBQ, slaw and a couple of beers, and that there will always be a vein of Mississippi mud surging thru the power chords, the music that Tim, his wife and bassist, Susan Bauer Lee and drummer Rodney Cash are making these days also mines the rock of Mott the Hoople, Free, The Faces, New York Dolls and John Doe & Exene of X. Plug & play, go-for-broke rock & mayhem. By now, the trio are cooking up a singular feast that has been slow cookin' for many years and just gets better with each new serving. Earcandy Archive talks with Tim & Susan about their timeless recipe read the interview

Casey Neill & The Norway Rats: Practising Resurrection

Casey Neill sings for wastrels, roustabouts, wharf rats & Bowery bums ….hell, even for CEOs of multinational corporations! There are boot stompin’ rockers, whiskey soaked ballads, songs mined from the sediment of Whitman, Woody, Shane & Springsteen but songs owing nothing to no one, purchased with sweat & passion, played on Fender, pennywhistle, glockenspiel, squeezebox, Strummer campfire guitar, whatever’s at hand, with a swagger & a shrug, a yowl and a dog’s breakfast. When the band slams into “Riffraff” and “We Are The City” the jubilant punters erupt into a dancing miasma. “We’ll dance as long as you play” yells one fan, hoping for all-night. Fans will be thrilled to know that studio time is booked & new songs toured this Spring will coalesce into the first all-Norway Rats album, upping the ante on last year’s excellent “Brooklyn Bridge”.

Meanwhile, take a listen to hear why they are nicknamed “The Thundering Herd”.

The Year Of The Triffids

Wary of high expectations, the Sydney Festival 4 night event was billed as a “rehearsal”, but there was heaps of fan anticipation when the original members of The Triffids, and a host of friends, took the stage to celebrate the words, songs & life of David McComb, principal songwriter & frontman of the band (who died in Feb ’99). It was, after all, the band’s first Australian performance in 18 years, And what a wealth of songs David wrote for The Triffids, The Blackeyed Susans, The Red Ponies, Costar and for others to sing. Hell, he & Alsy & an ever shifting line-up of friends self released 9 cassettes of material and a handful of singles even before the first Triffids album proper, “Treeless Plain”, came out in ’83. Songs just seemed to pour out of the man.

The UK’s NME declared 1985 the year of The Triffids, but it may be that 2008 is much more deserving of that accolade: In January, Tornado Alley Productions commenced filming a documentary on McComb. Sometime this year is expected the release of a biography on him & The Triffids by NME’s Bleddyn Butcher. And the exquisitely produced deluxe re-issues of the Triffids’ albums & singles have been released by Domino Records worldwide (and by Liberation Records in the Antipodes). And then there was this grand 3 hour event back at the Sydney Festival, with the band joined by members of The Blackeyed Susans & others (a stand out being Steve Kilbey of The Church whose vocal performance on a handful of songs was breathtaking).

If you weren’t lucky enough to be in the audience, I believe footage from the 4 nights will be included in the documentary. In the meantime, you can listen here to 6 songs from the first night, each of which were originally on arguably the band’s greatest release, Born Sandy Devotional. Even tho recorded in London, the album is so evocative of Australia. At the time of its release, it was my soundtrack (along with the ‘tweens Liberty Belle) on my monthly “country-run” from Wagga Wagga, Albury, Bendigo, Ballarat & back to Melbourne, and the songs to this day evoke for me Australia's horizon, wherever I am. R.I.P. David, long live the Triffids.

ED KUEPPER: Bloody Miracle At The Enmore

Hard to believe that this landmark album started out as a planned EP release only, because the whole of it seamless & necessary …even harder to believe that it was recently performed live as part of the “Don’t Look Back” series (Aussie style). “Honey Steels Gold”, released in ’91, was where Kuepper veered from the style of his previous bands The Saints & The Laughing Clowns, and rose up with something new, altogether masterful. As a result, it was the first Australian indie album to break on thru the top 40 and then stayed there for a year.

Harder still to believe that this performance was itself the opening slot before Died Pretty came out to recreate Doughboy Hollow …the lucky punters must have felt they'd died & gone straight ta heaven. It's a bloody miracle, I tell ya. Click on the podcast, ‘cause hearing is believing. If you enjoy this excerpt, you can thank GT, who recorded it, by buying him a slab or 2 of KB Gold.

DIED PRETTY : Diamonds That You Hurled

The band, Died Pretty, walks out on stage for the first time in years, and Ron Peno softly announces: “Welcome To Doughboy Hollow”, thus beginning a full live recreation of that landmark indie album that broke thru the Oz charts back in ‘91, …one of the best albums released ever anywhere, but sadly the rest of the world wasn’t listening. Recently released in a re-mastered, deluxe edition, grab it now if you missed it then, ‘cause it’s a beauty from start to finish. The album where the songs gelled and production & performance fell into place and then rose to a height never reached again.

…except here at the Enmore on the first night of the Aussie version of the ATP “Don’t Look Back” series, where the whole album was recreated. That the audience had already witnessed Ed Kuepper & band playing thru that other landmark album, Honey Steels Gold, earlier the same evening (see separate podcast): it boggles the mind that such a dream gig actually occurred. Both albums infiltrated the Australian top 40 and stayed there for months, & both were nominated for ARIA awards (Doughboy for best indie album and Honey Steels for best alternative album). Kuepper’s already in via the Saints but isn’t it time for Died Pretty to be inducted into the Australian Hall Of Fame?

The crowd knew that this historic occasion was a one-off, and the passionate, definitive performance showed why Died Pretty was a band that mattered….mightily. Once again.

Fernando : Every Saturday Night

“We’ll be playing here every Saturday night from now on “ jokes Fernando: last week's gig at the “World Famous” Kenton Club reminds him of all the hole-in-the-wall bars he used to play set after set early on in his career. The kind of local bar up the street where ya blow off steam, get drunk, listen to a band with your gal ‘n pals after the long weekly grind of Working For The Man. Décor, probably most of the regulars too, hasn’t changed one iota since Raquel Welsh used the toilet in ‘71, when filming nearby. The stuff of Legends, it seems, as the club has called itself “World Famous” ever since.. "It'll be dive-alicious", Lewi said, prior to gig. Too true, hombre.

Juxtapose that with the previous Saturday’s gig at downtown’s Dante’s, a punk dive recently yuppified (ie. replace mosh pit with tables & chairs, add sexy hot pink lighting. Note to management: shudda bought new mics & stage monitors, instead). Fernando’s first gig after returning from a 3 month visit to birth place, Argentina, playing to a crowd of his fiercely loyal fans (aren’t they all) glad to see him home. Take a listen to the 1st 3 songs of the podcast: the glow from the collective embrace is palpable, the songs hang in the air with a tender timelessness.

Move up a week to the Kenton Club: most of this crowd don’t have a clue who-da-hell this band called “Fernando” is: take a long drink, settle back and hope for the best onna Saturday night: maybe the band’ll be alright, get me ‘nother beer while yer up. 3 songs in: Fernando asks, “How are we sounding out there – pretty good?” “Fuuuccckk yeaaaaaa” someone yells, applause swells into the next number. The dance floor is packed and everyone is plugged in to the stage.

Way I see it: Fernando has one foot in the iconic Sun Studios, another foot in Pacoima, his eyes gaze at his sweetheart, while his arms are outstretched to the heavens. He sings of, and for, sinners with smoke ring halos who search the horizon for a shred of salvation. Preachers who need to confess, lousy blowjobs washed down by stale beer at country roadhouses with Elvis, Luke the Drifter and Doug Sahm on the jukebox. you can hear Booker T, Garth Hudson & Augie Meyer percolate up thru Lewi’s keyboards. Guitarist Dan rides his sustain pedal like a surfboard, with Creedence swamp and Neil “Like A Hurricane” abandon (Dan's new nickname: Shakey, jnr). “I want one of the cds that he’s on” said a buyer at the cd table, pointing to Dan. And finally, the music of Fernando wouldn’t rock up a tempest, crashing like waves, if it wasn’t for Matt’s driving beat & Joe’s hoffner bass & high harmonies and occasional splash of Chimichurri. This is a band that matches Fernando’s songs of passion, gauntlet-throwdown retribution with a heady hope that anything is possible. And, once again, the band has won over another crowd, on another Saturday night. It's Fernando's turn to be "World Famous" at the Kenton Club. Tomorrow the world.

Take a listen..

Corsica : Deadwood Sunset

Corsica is a San Francisco based band formed in 2002 around
the nucleus of songwriters Keith Dion (The Ophelias, Noel Redding
Band, The Posonby DCs) and Brad Orgeron (The Mystery School, Wicked
Electricity). They invited their friends William Seacamp (The Graves Brothers
Deluxe), Marco Villalobos (The Graves Brothers Deluxe), Mike Levy (The
Sneetches) and Sandy Poindexter (who has played with Dizzy Gillespie, John
Handy and other jazz greats) to fill out the line-up.

Strong songs, born out of the Pacific ocean view from where Keith & Brad
did their writing sessions, ..this is folk-rock indie pop with psychedelic
undertones. Lilting violin & keyboards are nailed down by the rhythm section
while Brad sings apocalyptic fairytales. Look for their forthcoming album,
“Sight Of The Sun”.

Tribute Night At Dantes

Here's the 1st of a series of "Gig-Bites", featuring a taste of a recent or past gig deserving of being heard beyond the venue walls. And as a way to shine a light on bands who rock those walls mightily.

REASON TO LIVE IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST #58:
Ample opportunity to see Scott McCaughey, the Sangster brothers, John Ramberg, and the rest of their Seattle musical mafioso one way or another (quite the collective resume: The Minus 5, Young Fresh Fellows,The Tripwires, as The Longshots backing Roy Loney , and, in the past, The Model Rockets, Stumpy Joe). And they have so much fun doing it too. If that wasn't enough, McCaughey still finds time to play on albums by REM, Robyn Hitchcock, John Wesley Harding, Walkabouts, Liz Phair, Donovan's Brain and more.

Last month, donning the moniker of The Lowe Beats, Scott & the rest of the Tartan Horde headed south to Stumptown, paying tribute to the wit & wisdom of pub rocker/crooner, Nick Lowe, it being the 30th anniversary of his legendary "Jesus Of Cool" album (now out on Yep Roc as an expanded 2 cd set). They invited The Shee Bee Gees (a Gibb brothers tribute band: Heather, Ellen, Anna & Alex having perfected their transcendent 4 part harmonies out in the garage & at NW gigs for a couple of years. At this point, they could sing the phone book and it would please these ears) as well as Casey Neill & The Norway Rats, a band you should run, not saunter, to go hear asap. Folk punk with a strong message and a healthy helping of Pogues-style delivery. Casey, Little Sue & band played an incredible set (despite being down 2 members). Featured here are only their 2 Nick Lowe covers (in keeping with the "Tribute Night" theme). And hurumph: pity the crowd is so loud during "Faithless Lover". It's the powerful, original songs you'll want to buy their cds & see them live to hear; they are touring in the Northeast next month and doing a West Coast run after that. I look forward to seeing them headline.

And now onto the main course of The Lowe Beats. I don't think they could have had more fun and still be legal. It was a new Lowe, so to speak (har, har....um, ....sorry). One classic song after another with Sangster & Ramberg trading fiery licks, and mega-fan McCaughey taking immense delight in Lowe's lascivious lyrics. But don't take my word for it, listen to the podcast. You might find yourself, afterwards, moving to the Northwest.

Dantes, Portland 23 FEB 08
The Shee Bee Gees: "Lonely Days" (by Barry Gibb)
Casey Neil & The Norway Rats: "Faithless Lover" and "I Knew The Bride" (both by Nick Lowe)

Television: CALL MR. LLOYD

It was 7 years ago that I first heard Tom Verlaine say:
"This here's a newie....goes like this"

And finally a new Television album is nearing completion,
albeit without Richard Lloyd, who left to persue The
Radiant Monkey and his own musical vision. So its sheer
conjecture as to which of these new TV songs will have made
it into the studio along with replacement, Jimmy Rip.

Here, then, is a compilation of live performances of those
new songs as performed in recent years. May this serve as
a fitting farewell to Mr Lloyd's involvement with the group
and an appreciation of his contribution to the evolving of
these new songs.

These are audience recordings so sonic quality is not ideal.
However,the passion is all there in the zeros & the ones...

Television - I Could Sleep All Day (Vicar Street, Dublin 2002)

Danny Kirwan: Something Inside Of Me

Danny Kirwan, was only 18 when he was asked by Peter Green to join Fleetwood Mac, and, from the start, Greeny gave plenty of opportunities for his young protégée to shine as songwriter and in a dual guitar attack. “EC is God” was the graffiti of the day, and, by sharing the spotlight with Kirwan & Jeremy Spencer, Peter hoped to avoid such soul strangling fan obsession that befell Clapton. Greeny & Kirwan’s guitar interplay on songs such as “World In Harmony” and “Like Crying” was truly transcendent. Sadly, it was not to last; as Peter Green jettisoned the whole star & money making grind, preferring long jams to the top 40 bound hit singles expected of him or making no music at all if he couldn't do what was in his heart. His departure moved the spotlight onto Danny. Despite a fine group effort on the album “Kiln House”, and the addition of McVie’s wife Christine on keyboards, Danny was effectively the leader of a dispirited band. Spencer’s subsequent, abrupt departure to join a Californian Christian cult during a US tour put the heavy yoke of leadership and lead guitarist even more onto Danny’s shoulders, undiminished when Bob Welsh was hired on as rhythm guitarist. Clearly, this isn’t what Kirwan signed onto back in ‘68. He withdrew, drank heavily, rarely ate and became increasingly neurotic under the pressure. Eventually, in August of 1972, he snapped over an argument with Welsh about guitar tuning, slamming his beloved Les Paul against a wall, and refusing to play the gig. He was fired from the band, eventually becoming destitute living on the streets, in hostels, in mental wards. At one point, during a rare interview years later, he wonders if perhaps the blues weren’t too powerful for a person such as he. The flame burned too bright, and needed extinguishing.

And that is sad for us because during those 4 years, Danny Kirwan wrote some of era’s most haunting and sublime ballads & rockers, maturing as a songwriter and creating a very melodic, unique guitar style. This compilation of live & BBC material is in celebration of that body of work. May it be remembered. Search out albums “Then Play On”, “Kiln House” “Bare Trees” and “Future Games” , if you haven't opened your ears to them. His greatest song "Dragonfly”, the first post Green single, is available on the “Greatest Hits” album.
