If you've ever been to Dottie's, you'll also know that the fewer people the better. At any rate, Mary and I arrived a bit late, thinking that the Lizardmen were opening for the SuperNaturals. This wasn't the case. We came in to find a young band on stage who sounded to be caught somewhere between Pub Rock and Peal Jam. On guitar was Toby Marriott. Toby bears a very strong resemblance to his father, the most noticable difference being his Geldof-esque sunken cheeks. Still, if you had to pick him out of a crowd, you could. The same compliments, however, can't be extended to his clothes. Baggy khaki trousers and work boots complimented (?) a green and yellow Van Gogh looking nylon shirt (again, 2 sized too large). Though, he did have halfway decent hair. The SuperNaturals went through their set fairly easily, but I couldn't help but notice that they seemed to just be going through the motions. Toby did sing one number, but a botched mix made his voice sound something like he had the mumps. Musical highlight of the evening was a 12 bar blues jam, which, while still sounding very pub rock oriented, sounded vaguely to be based on the Yardbird's classic "Jeff's Boogie". One of the Lizardmen camp sat in with some very appreciated harp sounds from the back of the stage, which still provided their Stone Temple Pilots loving singer an opportunity to stand at the front of the band and look utterly useless while he sipped a Budweiser and made eyes at the girls in the audience. They ended their set with a lackluster version of "Twist and Shout", with a botched ending halfway through Toby's uncomfortable guitar solo. I think the singer was confused. The Atlanta mod scene was represented by only 5. Francois, Justin and Kelly arrived early and got to speak with Toby. Toby is very aware of all of the recent hoopla surrounding the Small Faces. He owns the book, he knew about the convention in London (Francois was more than happy to point out that he was wearing the same outfit that he wore to the convention :^), and he keeps contact with Ronnie Lane (and his wife who is apparently quite mean as the rumor goes), Kenny Jones and Ian Maclagan. Apparently, we were the first mods he's come in contact with (unless you count the aging Small Faces) and for what it's worth, he looked at us a lot. Whether this was out of appreciation or worry, I still don't know. Still, he seemed very sincere and appreciative to hear complimentary words about his father. It seems that his mother (or step-mother) is in Jail in England right now, but those details aren't known to me. So, I can't say much for the SuperNaturals, but Toby Marriott is a competent guitar player, and, at the young age of 21, has a lot ahead of him. Maybe he'll ditch his band for something more worthwhile. So who does he like better.....The Small Faces, Humble Pie or Packet of Three? I was scared to ask, for fear of the answer.

First, Craig Moore wants to put out a compilation record of all the cover versions of "Blackout Of Gretely". So if any of you were/are in a band, and you have a version to submit, by all means send it to Craig. Secondly, I had mentioned in a previous thread about us recording with Craig- though, it hasn't happened yet, he did say he wanted to do a PUNK version of "Come With Me To The Stars", and we're gonna back him up! That oughtta be a trip... Also, I had mentioned I was gonna pick up the Makers' "Hunger" LP last night, but it won't be in stores until later this month. One last thing... Does anybody know what the advance ticket situation is for this Detroit fest? And likewise, are advance tickets being sold for Thee Headcoats/Makers show in Detroit? - -T.J. ==================================================================== This message is from the Bomp Mailing List.

I also seem to remember it being during the week or something, 'cuz it wasn't much of a crowd. Anyway, I can't remember if it was Jeff or Dave who told me that Jeff had gotten pissed at the owner of the club in Boston that had booked the Mono Men/Cynics show. Jeff was really pissed that this guy, who he considered his friend, would book a band that he felt was ripping him off. Back around '91 or so, when The Teen Scene was still in its infancy, a friend of mine was working for the PR firm that worked for Taang!, the label that The Lyres were then involved with. Anyway, she needed to get Jeff interviewed and knew I loved the band (and had since I was 18, when I saw them with The Mosquitos at Irving Plaza on 7/20/84.) So, I agreed to do it. What the heck, help out a friend, get some good stuff for the 'zine, and talk to Jeff for a while. We got there (my best friend, another big Lyres fan, was up for the weekend from DC) and found Jeff. He asked how long it would take, 'cuz he didn't have much time. We told him we could do it in 15 minutes, if he liked. Well, we got to talking and we spent almost an hour and a half down there in the Maxwells' basement. Truth be told, I'd been kinda worried, 'cuz I'd been having trouble coming up with questions to ask. As it turned out, it was really fantastic. I'd been a Lyres' fan for so long that I knew tons of stuff that I could just ask him about. And, being an organ player myself (well... OK, a pretty mediocre organ player, but...), we also had some things to talk about on that score.

Quite true. I absolutely love The Lyres and DMZ (the Lyres more, but that's just one man's opinion. The DMZ reunion in '93 was truly incredible.) However, I do think Jeff is, as Greg wrote, "off the wall sometimes." One of the things I asked him about during the interview that night was the California version of The Lyres. For those who are unaware, Jeff moved to San Diego in late '88 or early '89 to be with his girlfriend or something. Anyway, once he'd been there for a couple months, he wanted to play again. So he got The Nashville Ramblers (Carl Rusk, Tom Ward, & Ron Silva, also known as The Blackmores when they were all in NYC) to back him. Well, that lasted no more than six months, by which point they'd all had enough and all quit at one time. (I believe they may be the only Lyres' lineup to go in one fell swoop.) Well, you should've heard Jeff talk about *that* during the interview. I never did get around to publishing that, probably 'cuz my friend quit that PR firm within the next couple weeks. However, I did hand the tape over to my ex-roommate, The Skeever, a few years later when he started his 'zine, CapSoul Reviews. Do a search for CapSoul Reviews and Skeever and you'll find him (I don't remember the URL). Dunno if he's still got the interview there, but there's some great stuff on the page, anyway (including a sound clip of Lou Reed yelling at Steve on the answering machine to pick up the phone, from when The Skeever was his PA). Even if the piece of the interview that he published *isn't* still there, you might be able to get him to put it up again. OK, I've rambled for far too long. I'll close with this... The Lyres are one of the absolute *BEST* bands of our time. Jeff may act completely off the wall and be a bit of a jerk sometimes, but we all do, although not always to such a degree. Even so, he can also be a really nice guy. And... some of his songs are pure genius.

That was probably The Johnny Burnette Trio, with the great Paul Burlison on guitar. Probably my favorite rockabilly artist/band of all time.
