I guess you're right. I got so caught up having fun with my friends that I stopped noticing the assholes. Was the guy who slammed into your girlfriend the stage-licker? That's the name John Hentch's girlfriend gave him. He was really drunk the first night (probably all three nights) and she swears he licked the stage! I think we both gave him a hard shove at one point 'cuz he kept slamming into us and "accidentally" touching our butts. (At which point the Hatebombs, being the gentlemen they are, offered to take care of him for me.) I don't recall any scuffles -- I would've liked to have seen that eye-gouge! Speaking of scuffles, I nearly got into one at the recent Lyres show with some drunk FOOL who was making out with her boyfriend (complete with tongues and ass-grabbing) and spilled RED WINE all over my hot-pink vintage-60's wool coat! Thanks to Chris Horne's advice, I was able to get rid of the stains! (*Thanks again, Chris!*) I really saw red (literally!) over this. I didn't get violent, but yelled at her to calm the heck down, put down her glass, get a damn room!

This guy Kevin Jennings who's mentioned in the first line is the former manager of the Black Crowes; he sued the Crowes last year for a piece of the action on their first album, based on an old handwritten contract scrawled on a piece of stationery (which was widely mistaken for a "cocktail napkin"). Kevin currently manages a beat group, the Lizardmen. He tells me that Toby Marriott leads the SuperNaturals [note internal capitalization] and plays guitar, but doesn't sing. The group's singer is a Georgia country boy who could never be mistaken for Steve Marriott's son. Here's the item: From CREATIVE LOAFING Atlanta's LOCAL RELEASES column for week ending 03-08-97 Kevin Jennings recently supervised a recording project for the SuperNaturals, a new band led by Toby Marriott, the son of legendary English rocker Steve Marriott. Jennings describes the new group's sound as "young, dark, angry and extremely melodic." The Carrollton-based band performs at Dottie's on March 8 with the Lizardmen. There's no word yet on whether the Supernaturals and Jennings have signed any cocktail napkins, but they've "definitely bonded." -- Gregory Nicoll ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

MTV used to have a 30 second clip of it on their site. it might still be in the archives somewhere, or maybe on the M2 site if there is one. +=-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-=+ mary robinson crews FREEZE 'EM and EAT 'EM mary@catalogue.com -Chilly Willee http://www.catalogue.com/ http://www.chapel-hill.nc.us/ +=-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-=+ ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

I was in London in '88 and saw that Steve Marriott was playing in some pub on the outskirts of town. Don't ask where, exactly, but I know it was a fairly long ride on the tube from where I was staying (Euston Sta. vicinity). Now, I was never a big Humble Pie fan, but to this day I am consistently blown away by his vocal turn on Johnny Thunders' "Daddy Rolling Stone" from the So Alone LP. It was purely on the basis of those 30 seconds or so that I went to see him play. I was somewhat perturbed when I arrived at the pub and saw a sign outside that said "No Travellers." After all, not only was I from overseas but I had travelled a distance on the tube as well. A doorman quickly explained that this didn't mean me, it meant gypsies, so I went on in. In retrospect, it occurs to me that the morally/politically correct thing to do would have been to turn around and go back to London but frankly I don't recall having that thought at the time. But I digress. This was almost nine years ago, so I'm afraid I can't recall any specifics such as songs, who else was in the band, etc. But I don know that Steve and his band put on a great show of blues-rock. At one point I remember he abandoned the microphone during a quieter number and his voice filled the room. What I was most impressed with was that he seemed to be having such a great time. I was wondering if there'd be some sign of bitterness or dejection at playing a relatively small room in the middle of nowhere, but there was none. He was exuberant, smiling, and having a ball.

Tommy Tedesco was one of the more famous studio musicians of the '60s (bass?), he played on all Phil Spector's stuff. Joe Maphis recorded a lot; his best stuff is totally rockin' but I've heard some junk too. But that's the thrill of junk-shopping, you never know!

(for the record, chapel hill cable really does suck -- no comedy channel, no sci-fi channel, no cartoon network. our sister city carrboro, home of the cat's cradle, and bounded almost entirely within the city limits of chapel hill, however, gets all those channels cause they had a different cable system. sorry, i get a little wound up about it sometimes...and i really don't even watch that much TV, honest!) thanks for the URL to the clip, evan. i'll link to it from our fan site if that's cool. one of these days i'll get around to seeing the beavis & butthead thing and i'll make a note of how much of "white trash" got used. i don't know if they're gonna make a video for the next record, but i'll see if i can find out if anybody is interested. adios, +=-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-=+ mary robinson crews-o FREEZE 'EM and EAT 'EM mary@catalogue.com -Chilly Willee http://www.catalogue.com/ http://www.chapel-hill.nc.us/ +=-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-==-=+ ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

O'Brien) Subject: Mono Mann vs. The Mono Men >>That dork in Denver kept getting on the stage between bands saying >that Jeff Conolly and the Mono Men were going to be playing! If Mono >Mann had heard that, he probably woulda kicked his ass, as he HATES the >Mono Men.. Alan W. wrote: >He does? That's somewhat strange since I've read more than a few >interviews with Jeff, and he even mentions in his liner notes to the >DMZ Bomp! CD that he likes them. > I'm going on two things here, Alan: First, I saw an interview somewhere on the web entitled "Monoman Rants" where he says a few nasty things about them. For one, he was pissed that they took the name (he was gonna use that name back in the 70's), and then he went on to say how they were pesky and annoying and found them to be superfluous. He even knocked Estrus, saying that the label the Mono Men were on was obviously run by some guy with a trust fund because they put out so many records with slick looking covers. He, apparently, didn't know Dave owns Estrus. This brings me to my second story: Last summer, my band played with the Mono Men in Normal, IL (a genius show that featured Bill Grapes of the Mortals as fill-in guitarist after the departure of Mort). Afterwards, at the after-hours shindig, I was hangin' out with Ledge doing what I always do when I hang out with Ledge (smokin' a joint), and I brought up the interview in which Mono let 'em have it. Incidentally, the reason it came up was because we were talking about the Lyres' "A Promise Is A Promise" and I mentioned it wasn't one of my favorites, while he said it was his favorite! I immmediately segued into the "so I hear Jeff Conolly hates you guys" thing, and he started laughing. He hadn't seen the interview, though he told me a hillarious story about an experience they had with him one time: Ledge and Dave drove up to British Columbia to see a bunch of bands and the Lyres were on the bill. At the door there was some sort of confusion about them being on the guest list, so someone suggested they ask Mono Mann to get them in. Right then, Mono Mann, having heard this, walked around the corner, saw them, and started yelling, "I hate those guys-they're not on the guest list!". Of course, I'm paraphrasing here, but it was something to that effect. Now, Alan, I don't have the DMZ Bomp! CD, so I wasn't aware that Jeff had changed his position, but I'm just tellin' you what I read and what I heard from one of the Mono Men that was actually on the receiving end of a Mono Mann rant. Who knows? And, Todd, as far as the Mono Men being a metal band goes... I dunno about that, but they are pretty heavy. The last time I saw them in Chicago, though, they were a three piece and had lost some of the edge they always had with Mort (or Marx). I wouldn't call 'em metal, though. Some bands do the heavy thing pretty well-The Quadrajets, for instance, are a band you probably consider metal, but I've seen them twice and dig the shit out of 'em. And, after the Oblivians dubbed 13 Frightened Girls "Mono Men Jr.", I'm sure you won't like my band either. I've said it before, I'll say it again... can't please all the people all the time. C'est la fuckin' vie. - -T.J. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

The scratches only enhance that "Way I Walk" & > "Geraldine" action!) Hey again Lola (& Bompsters) SCOTS is my fave band performing at this time! I've been a fan for the past 3 years or so. they're a 3-piece from Chapel Hill, NC, started by leader/singer/guitarist Rick Miller in the 80s as a large-ish New Wave Band that cut a single or 2, which i never heard, but heard it isn't worth seeking out. Rick reformed the band in the early 90s with girlfriend gorgeous redhead Mary Huff on bass & Dave Hartman on drums, though they sometimes have a percussionist that plays a broiler drippan as a washboard. Their music is somewhere between the Cramps, Link Wray,the B-52s & the Beverly Hillbillies with a little Herschal Gordon Lewis thrown in! My buddy Ray turned me on to them years ago & also got them signed to Geffen, where they're currently recording a new LP. Their 1st CD came out on a small lable & is called Too Much Pork For Just One Fork - i don't have a copy if anyone has an extra. Then they did 2 for a small New Hampshire lable, Safe house, - For Lovers Only & Ditch Diggin' before signing to Geffen & cutting Dirt Track Date, which gave them the hit Camel Walk - they actually got to perform it on Thanksgiving at Caesar's palace on a show sponsored by Camel Cigs! They also cut a few things for indie labels & have a few 10" vinyl things out. santo Swings is an expanded version of one of 'em, with Santo (note-Santo was a Mexican wrestler, mask & all, who made a glorious series of mexican films in which he's a wrestler by day & super hero by night!). SCOTS has a guest star dress up in full Santo regalia to ing Viva El Santo live while swigging down bottles of tabasco. One of the best live shows I've seen in years! Also nice folks in real life.
