Actually, so did Echo, who >invited some of the 'Tones and Mr. Bragg on stage for their encore, a >crazed medley of '60s punk songs like "Action Woman," "7 & 7 Is" and a >few I've forgotten. It was intense!! The crazed Echo cover of "Action Woman" turns up as the surprise track on the Pebbles 1 CD. I believe it comes from a Swedish radio concert in which E&TB play nothing but 60's covers. - -c. - ------------------------------------------------------------------ Chris Barrus - No-Fi, IndieWeb, etc | "Who wouldn't want the Eyes of http://www.pacificnet.net/~xibalba/ | Frozen Shrimp on their side?" ------------------------------ From: "J. Emery" Date: 16 Jul 1996 09:40:39 U Subject: casino casino 7/16/96 the mighty Casino el Camino: after he left the splat cats he formed the Jack Lords (in buffalo), who put an album out on Skyclad Records. After they broke up he moved to Austin and played in a couple of bands for awhile. He now owns a bar called - what else - - casino el camino. we were kind of worried the bar wouldn't make it at first, but it is literally the most happenin non-band bar in austin now. he is doing very very well. anyone on this list would really go for the swanky voodoo digs there. Great juke box too - you'll hear martin denny then the mc5 then coltrane... definitely a must see if you're ever in austin. - -------------------------------------- Casino!!! What's he up to, musically? I was a major fan of his old group, The Splat Cats. In fact, my 'zine, The Teen Scene, is named for a song from their debut 7" EP.

I know he was the voices of The Archies > (Sugar, Sugar) and The Cuff Links (Tracy), but what else did he do? > Was he Edison Lighthouse? Dante also had "Free" by Pearly Gate out at the same time Sugar, Sugar and Tracy were high on the charts. He also recorded as Bo Cooper, Dante's Inferno, Ronnie & the Dirtriders, CG Rose, and the Webspinners. Plus countless demo's as Don Kirshner's main "demo man" - doing demos of many songs that leter became hits for others. Plus solo albums and lots of jingles for Dr. Pepper, KFC, etc. Edison Lighthouse was fronted by Tony Burrows, who also was in Botherhod of Man, White Plains and the studio band responsible for one truely awful big hit "Beach Baby", the First Class. - michael ------------------------------ From: grrrl@clubhouse.email.net Date: Tue, 16 Jul 1996 20:43:07 CDT Subject: Bomp V96 #33 It may or may not exist under the "Exotica" title but does anyone have an opinion on The Nation of Ulyssess spin off experimental group the MAKEUP? I'm a huge fan and dig down deep the sounds of Ian Sveonious .By the way a late comment about Musicians of color in the Exotica/Obscure scene. I grew up on alot of obscure musicians of color due to my father's Ace vinyl collection that I have inherited since his death last month. To be honest I never dug it at first but over the ages Screamin' Jay and Ike Turner's band are the rare grooves I groove to. WHats funny is as a Black female it was odd to hear those sounds coming from my speakers I honestly have no idea what others expected but Link Wray was not one of them . As for now alot of the Jazzier Hiphop groups De La Soul Tribe Called Quest sample alot of these sounds we call our own. The way the world turns.... Oh well anyway WHats up with the Ann Magnusson lounge album??? ------------------------------ From: knardone@tulip.usa.com (Kevin Nardone) Date: Tue, 16 Jul 96 14:35:12 Subject: Barbarella soundtrack A bit ago, someone asked or was inquiring into weather John Sebastian had anything to do with the soundtrack. I happened to ask the same question to someone who enjoys the LS a bit and posed the question to him. He was not sure, but did have something to offer: Thus quoteth Andrew: No, but _Barbarella_ came out in 1968, by which time John and Zal had both departed. Joe Butler carried the name on for at least another year, a handful of singles, and an album - so it wouldn't surprise me if some of their tunes were at least considered for a soundtrack, especially since they were one of the first rock bands to do soundtracks ("What's Up, Tiger Lily", "You're A Big Girl Now"). This isn't anything close to a definitive answer, but it may help whomever asked the original question. kevin ------------------------------ End of Bomp V96 #35 ******************* You have been reading Bomp-digest.
